    Concert hall with very good acoustics. The concerts here with Kurt Masur are unforgettable.

    It is interesting that Kurt Masur himself, who was already world-famous at the time, pushed through the building with the 'threat' of going west. It seems that prestige was also important under socialism.

    The first Kapellmeister in this concert building was Kurt Masur, the son of an electrical engineer and who himself worked as an electrician until 1996. His musical work was widely recognized worldwide. He was also known for his political engagement, especially in the Peaceful Revolution. Therefore, he was also under discussion as a candidate for the office of Federal President at the time.

    The Gewandhaus is a concert building inaugurated in 1981 on Augustusplatz in downtown Leipzig. Before that, there were two previous buildings, also called the Gewandhaus, in other places, which had served as the home of the Gewandhaus Orchestra since 1781.
