   • St. Thomas Church. Between 1723 and 1750 Johann Sebastian Bach was the cantor at this 13th-century Gothic church. It has also been Bach’s burial place since 1950, and you can find his ledger stone on the floor of the choir and see a statue in his honour outside in front.
   • St. Nicholas Church. This Gothic and Baroque Church was the scene of the Monday Demonstrations that eventually helped reunite Germany.

   • Museum der Bildenden Künste. Leipzig’s fine arts museum reopened in 2004 in a bold glass cube in the centre of the city on Katharinenstraße. The previous building had been wiped out in the war, although the most valuable art had already been stored away.
   • Völkerschlachtdenkmal. A lasting piece of Wilhelmine architecture is this monument to the Battle of Leipzig. The battle took place in 1813, and brought about one of Napoleon’s final defeats, against a coalition of armies from Russia, Prussia, Austria and Sweden.
