Johann-Sebastian-Bach-Platz and St. Michaelis Church, Lüneburg

St. Michaelis is a former monastery church of the Benedictine monastery St. Michael and one of the main churches in the city of Lüneburg. The monastery used to play an important role and the abbot had a high position within the region. The monastery school was very well known and Johann Sebastian Bach even sang as a choir boy in the Mettenchor from 1700 to 1702. For this reason, the church square is now called Johann Sebastian Bach Platz.lueneburger-heide.de/stadt/gehenswuerdigkeit/83/lueneburg-st-michaelis-kirche.html

St. Michael's Church in the western part of Lüneburg's old town looks back on several centuries of eventful musical history. The St. Michael's Choir is now one of the largest choirs in Northern Germany. In the church's rich musical history, one name stands out in particular: Johann Sebastian Bach. Alongside the classic "Bach cities" such as Eisenach and Leipzig, Lüneburg also played a significant role in his life. Between 1700 and 1702, the then-young Bach was a member of the St. Michael's Mass choir. In the years that followed, he became one of the greatest Protestant church musicians and remains unforgettable to this day.
