About
Leipzig’s oldest church, founded around 1165. Originally Romanesque, it evolved through Gothic, Baroque, and Neoclassical styles, with iconic palm-shaped columns (18th century) creating a forest-like interior. It hosted Bach’s works, baptized Leibniz, and fueled East Germany’s Peaceful Revolution through Monday prayers that sparked the Berlin Wall’s fall. Underwent major restorations from 1968 to 2004.
