Things to do in Leipzig, Saxony: The Best Churches & Cathedrals
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.

Bach served as the choirmaster at this church, to which his grave was moved in 1949, for the last 27 years of his life.

Thomaskirche is a beautiful church in downtown Leipzig. It is very close to the train station. Aside from being of historical interest, it as a pace where Johann Sebastian Bach led the famed Boys Choir for thirty years, where he wrote about one cantata week for those thirty years and is now (they think) buried.you can lear about that mystery when you visit. Worth your time.
