If you are in Leipzig, a stop at the New Bach Monument on the Thomaskirchhof is almost a must – even if you are not a classical expert. It is one of the city's most iconic photo motifs and literally breathes music history. The 2.45-meter-high bronze statue by Carl Seffner (inaugurated in 1908) shows Bach as one imagines him: dignified, with a scroll of music in his hand, right in front of his long-time place of work, the Thomaskirche.
