Top 10 Things to do in Zentrum-Südost, 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.

Classical music fans will appreciate a visit to Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's home (now a museum) and his music salon where we hold concerts every Sunday at 11:00. Find information about Mendelssohn's family, esp. about his sister Fanny Hensel.

This museum is a masterclass in how to construct a museum (and most in Germany are). Mendelssohn's house has been furnished, by and large, just how it was in the composer's day. There's a beautiful garden, too, welcoming staff and a tranquil atmosphere. A fully comprehensive monument to Mendelssohn, his wife and his sister. There is a room where you can 'conduct' some of his pieces and 'control' the 'orchestra', a room where you can listen to all of Mendelssohn's music and a garden house with a current temporary exhibition on Beethoven, with several of his pieces to listen to.

4.5 based on 9 reviews
The GRASSI Museum of Applied Arts counts among the most significant of its type in Europe and stands out for a completely new permanent exhibition. The first tour “From Ancient times to Historism” is a call to a journey covering over 3,000 years of the history of art. Amongst others, the fascination in this journey is the Roman Hall, the Piranesi Gallery and precious Baroque Items of the Treasure Chamber. The second exhibition area “Asian art: Impulse for Europe” is above all else, dedicated to art treasures from China, Japan and Iran. In the third trip “From Art Nouveau to the present day”, there is a series of treasures from the period of Art Nouveau of known and unknown Bauhaus pieces, design highlights as from 1950, East German design and pieces from the immediate present. Each year at the end of October the Museum held the GRASSIMESSE, an international forum and fair fur applied art and product design from all fields.

Largest war memorial in Europe
Reviewed By Kacee2011
There is a bit of walking, but this was the highlight of my week. With the audio guide it was like re experiencing a history I knew little about. I usually avoid war memorials, but this one seemed so appropriate. It is hard to believe that very soon after this was erected (100 years after the actual battle), W.W. I began. When will they ever learn?
