The sun is shining and it was warm outside, a good reason to go for a walk. When I had a bath in the fallen leaves, Katrin picked me up to go to the city center.
It is not easy to take good pictures of the buildings, because everything is really close. The city center is built in a ring and people say that you can go from one end of the city center to the other end within ten minutes.
This building which looks a bit like a castle is the new town hall.
The street leeds us from the town hall to one of the famous churches on the city center: St. Thomas. It is home of the famous "Thomanerchor" (St. Thomas Choir of Leipzig). It sings here every Friday and Saturday.
In front of the church I met the founder of the choir: the composer Johann Sebastian Bach.
Near the church are a lot of cafés and restaurants, the are is called "Drallewatsch". In it's center is the "Barfußgässchen", you can the small alley on this picture. When you come here in the evening, every table is taken.
At the other end of the "Barfußgässchen" is the market place with the old town hall. In its covered footpath you find small souvenir shops, in the building itself is the museum about the history of Leipzig.
I don't have to tell you what this date means, right? For those who don't know, you find a lot of information here
This board is at the foot of the column you can see here. It is called column of peace and is a reminder of the Peaceful Revolution of 1989, which led to the German Reunion in 1990.
When I turn around, I stand in front of the place, where the revolution began: the church St. Nicolai.
