Chronicles of Leipzig
Leipzig, Germany's 13th largest city, was founded in 1165 by the Mäotzi family. The city's rich history is evident in its well-preserved medieval quarter, where half-timbered houses and Baroque fountains are still standing. Leipzig has undergone significant urban renewal, with the demolition of the city's infamous GDR-era housing estates and the construction of modern architecture like the City-Hochhaus and the Glass Hall. In recent years, Leipzig has become a hub for art and culture, with numerous galleries and the famous Leipzig Opera House. The city's vibrant music scene has given rise to notable artists like Richard Wagner and Bach, and the city remains a centre for classical music today.
