Today I wanted to share with you the day I spent in Leipzig! Leipzig is the most populous city in the German federal state of Saxony. Leipzig has been a trade city since at least the time of the Holy Roman Empire. Leipzig became a major urban center within the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) after the Second World War, but its cultural and economic importance declined. Leipzig today is an economic centre, the most livable city in Germany, according to the GfK marketing research institution and has the second-best future prospects of all cities in Germany. Leipzig has long been a major center for music, both classical as well as modern “dark alternative music” or darkwave genres. The Oper Leipzig is one of the most prominent opera houses in Germany. It was during a stay in this city that Friedrich Schiller wrote his poem “Ode to Joy”. The Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, established in 1743, is one of the oldest symphony orchestras in the world. Johann Sebastian Bach is one among many major composers who worked and lived in Leipzig.
