If only the walls of this 800 year old church church could talk 🎼 Bach (THE Bach) worked as a composer here for over 25 years. It later became his burial site which I was also able to visit. I can’t believe I was able to walk on the grounds of such history. 📍St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, Germany is completely bucket list worthy. #bach #johannsebastianbach #stthomaschurch #leipzig #leipzigtravel #germanhistory #europeanhistory #exploreleipzig #visitleipzig #composersofinstagram #famouscomposer #leipzigblogger #lieblingsleipzig #leipzigtravel #germanytourism #deutshland #travelblogger #fulltimetravel #leipziglove #musichistory @leipzigtravel

St. Thomas Kirche/Church Leipzig One of the must see attractions while in Leipzig, is the St. Thomas Church, originally build in 1212, modified to the Gothic Look around the 15th century, it’s quite an amazing structure loaded with historic happenings. Martin Luther preacher here in 1539, and the Choir (in existence since 1212) has become a preeminent location for the Protestant Faith. Johan Sebastian Bach, one of the most famous composers and musicians of all time, directed the Choir from 1723 to 1750. Unfortunately I was not able to listen in to the choir, but one can close the eyes and just imagine one of Bach’s famous organ recitals and the choir performing, this must have been a massively magical moment in time! Enjoy this little pictorial! 🙏🏻 #germany #traveladventures #drivingholidays #leipzig #stthomas #stthomaskircheleipzig #stthomaschurchleipzig #johannsebastianbach

This is the church where JS Bach was the cantor for many years. A highlight of Leipzig. Entry is free or donation. There is a small museum room which is easily overlooked - it’s on your right as you walk in or on your left as you walk out. This room and the other bits of information near the entrance (in German and English) gives more context. The sound of the organ is impressive. On weekends they do a service seemingly at 9:30am and 6pm (Sat & Sun) which has the organ playing and some hymns sung by the church-goers. In my opinion as it is a notable historic site, there should be a lot less talky-talky from the priest, and more music. The entrance is near the statue - something also worth seeing. There is also a stained-glass window depiction of Bach himself and it’s worth looking out for that when inside the church.

Very beautiful place me and my friends were here for the night to pray and as we were in the church suddenly we heard zombies outside and they were very loud so we fought them with our muskets and bayonets then we headed to the gates and sappers built barricades to defend from the horde of zombies and as we were fighting them there came a nice guy called Jacob and he came with a barrel he stood near the gate and used a torch and blew himself up and the closed gate (rest in peace Jacob 😔) then we all ran to the bridge and right after we all ran to the bridge it exploded Overrall: very nice city not gonna lie I liked it

What an amazing historical and architectural site! From Bach's tomb to the unification of Germany this is a must see historical site. Beautiful architecture which is hard to find post WWII. The acoustics in the building are fantastic as they play the organ. For only a euro admission this is great. There is a great small music museum with many old texts and instruments. You can really feel the significance of this building while exploring, I'm not too much of a spiritual person but this place sure made me feel something. Beautiful place to visit and absolutely essential to any music lover.
