What to do and see in Zentrum, Saxony: The Best Architectural Buildings

April 5, 2022 Darleen Reid

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.

a very modern and beautiful station, with good connections. From that station I went to Prague. It has interesting shops, you can have a coffee or something to eat, it is steps from trams, I remember buying a suitcase to go to Berlin

Altes Amtshaus / Commerzbank Haus

The "Alte Amtshaus" was built as a private building until it was converted by Kurfurst August in 1582 into a Electoral Office House. In addition, the Royal Saxon Post Office and a "Reformed Church" were temporarily housed here. Around 1900 it was replaced by an Art Nouveau department. From 1949, the department store “Fortschritt” moved in – then Commerzbank
