 Leipzig is a busy East German
city full of cultural history. For example, Bach, Goethe,
Mendelssohn and Schumann were all residents of Leipzig during
their lives. In more recent history, Leipzigers played an
important role in ending communist occupation of East Germany,
with famous demonstrations at the Nikolai Church in the city
center. A wealth of monuments, churches, museums, restaurants
and shops can be found within the city center and surrounding
area, and efficient public transportation makes them all
easily accessible (For a PDF version of the Leipzig tram
map, go to:
