#Leipzig is the most populous city in the #German state of #Saxony. Leipzig’s population of 605,407 inhabitants as of 2021 places the city as Germany’s eighth most populous, as well as the second most populous #city in the area of the former East #Germany after #Berlin.
Over there I met my great host and german friend @djp_fly he showed me his work ad #DJ and also his life as #artist in #Germany and his dj community on the club @twentyone_le and his fellow artist @_philbeat_.
Also I had the opportunity to explore the rivers with Johanna Frei in the Wildpark and see the Bach office with Silvia.
Events in Leipzig in 1989 played a significant role in precipitating the fall of communism in Central and Eastern Europe, mainly through demonstrations starting from St. Nicholas Church. The immediate effects of the reunification of Germany included the collapse of the local economy (which had come to depend on highly polluting heavy industry), severe unemployment, and urban blight. Starting around 2000, however, the decline was first arrested, then reversed, and since then Leipzig has seen many significant changes, including the restoration of major historical buildings, the demolition of derelict properties, and the development of new industries and a modern transport infrastructure.
Leipzig has long been a major centre for music, including classical and modern dark wave. The Thomanerchor (English: St. Thomas Choir of Leipzig), a boys’ choir, was founded in 1212. The Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra, established in 1743, is one of the oldest symphony orchestras in the world. Johann Sebastian Bach and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy are two of several well-known composers who lived and worked in Leipzig. The University of Music and Theatre “Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy” was founded in 1843. The Oper Leipzig, one of the most prominent opera houses in Germany, was founded in 1868. During a stay in Gohlis, which is now part of the city, Friedrich Schiller wrote his poem “Ode to Joy”.
