St. Nicholas' Church (officially: City and Parish Church of St. Nicholas) is the oldest and largest church in Leipzig's city center and, alongside St. Thomas Church, the city's most famous church. Named after St. Nicholas, the sacred building is the main church of the Evangelical Lutheran St. Nicholas Parish in Leipzig. The redesign and furnishing of St. Nicholas' Church's interior represents a significant work of Neoclassicism. St. Nicholas' Church from the northeast with the St. Nicholas Column (August 2010) The congregation of St. John's Church, whose building burned down as a result of the bombing of Leipzig on December 4, 1943, and was demolished in 1949, has since been part of the St. Nicholas Parish.[1] The Holy Cross Church in Leipzig's Neustadt district is, alongside St. Nicholas' Church, the second church of the St. Nicholas Parish. In the autumn of 1989, St. Nicholas Church was the central starting point of the peaceful revolution in the GDR, with the subsequent fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989, and the reunification of Germany on October 3, 1990.

St. Thomas Church, known as the place where Johann Sebastian Bach worked and home to the Thomanerchor, dominates Leipzig's cityscape with its 68-meter-high tower and attracts visitors from all over the world. Founded in the 13th century, it was the scene of important historical events, has been redesigned several times and was most recently expanded by four bells between 2019 and 2021 through the restoration of its chimes.

In the autumn of 1989, St. Nicholas Church was the central starting point of the peaceful revolution in the GDR, which led to the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 9, 1989, and the reunification of Germany on October 3, 1990. The Monday demonstrations, which were directed against the GDR regime, developed from the Monday prayers that had been taking place in St. Nicholas Church since November 1982 and were initially attended by only a few people. In late November 1982, a large display board with the symbol of swords into plowshares was put up in public for the first time in the GDR in St. Nicholas Church. At the end of the 1980s, tens of thousands, sometimes even more than 100,000 people, took to the streets of Leipzig every week during the Monday demonstrations to demonstrate for democracy, free elections, freedom of travel, and the unity of Germany.

The town and parish church of St. Nicholas was built in the Romanesque style from 1165 onwards. This Romanesque origin is still visible on its west side today. St. Nicholas Church is the oldest church in the city centre and, alongside St. Thomas Church, the most famous church in Leipzig. In the 15th and 16th centuries, after Leipzig became prosperous thanks to silver discoveries in the Ore Mountains, it was expanded and finally completely rebuilt into a three-aisled late Gothic hall church. On May 25, 1539, the Reformation in Leipzig began here with the sermons of the reformers Justus Jonas the Elder and Martin Luther. Johann Sebastian Bach performed many of his cantatas and oratorios in St. Nicholas Church, including the "St. John Passion" on Good Friday, April 7, 1724. The interior design is an important creation of classicism.

Old Town Hall and Market The Old Town Hall lives up to its name, as its foundation stone was laid in 1556. Since 1909 it has served as the city's history museum. The ballroom in the building is 43 meters long and was previously used for festivities of the Saxon sovereigns, patrician weddings, artisan festivals and student balls. Court hearings also took place here. Today it is used for cultural and concert events in the city of Leipzig, among other things. The market is well connected to transport thanks to the City Tunnel.
