The 10 Best Monuments & Statues in Zentrum, Saxony
It’s always hard to fill the shoes of someone who used to do your job very well. If you’re the choirmaster at St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, guess whose shoes you have to fill? Bach’s. (No pressure.) Leipzig is closely connected to classical music—Wagner was born here, and Mendelssohn established a conservatory here in 1843. If you’re more of a melancholy, contemporary type, visit during the Wave-Gotik-Treffen, billed as the world’s largest "dark" (Goth, industrial, punk, etc.) music festival.

I was taken on a tour of Leipzig with a professional tour guide who explained much of the history to the group. The statue shows Goethe looking towards the university where he was meant to study, but if you look a little longer you'll notice his feet are pointing in another direction. He's walking to a bar of some kind, where he would meet with his girlfriends. He wasn't one for studying. On the right of the statue is shown a picture of a girl who is apparently not so pretty, but very clever. This was the girl for his mind and intellect. On the other side of the statue is a picture of another girl, who is more pretty. This was the girl for his heart. That's what my tour guide told me. I was also told some more about Goethe, but I won't spoil it all. The memorial is definitely worth a look if you're in the area!

The statue is about the famous cellar where Goethe has written Faust... there are two statues on two sides of the passage... Statues are quite nice by themselves.... However, if you are into Faust... definitely a place to see...
