Thomaskirche - St. Thomas Church, Leipzig, Germany - Bach Burial Site

The first time I visited Leipzig, I took a photo standing next to the Bach statue outside of St. Thomas Church (Thomaskirche). For some reason, I never bothered to go inside the church until recently. On my last visit to the city, I got myself all fired up for my Leipzig whirlwind tour. First, I stopped at the Starbucks near the University of Leipzig (Universität Leipzig). I had a Mocha Frappuccino, which gave me the energy to continue on up the road to Thomaskirche. Fall is here, so the fountains outside of St. Thomas Church had been drained for the winter. But there were still plenty of diners eating and drinking under the restaurant umbrellas in the area -- heat lamps are such a great invention! First, I walked up to the Bach statue. There were a group of Spanish tourists congregated around it, all vying for photos with the grand figurine. The Spanish tour guide droned on and on about something or other. I moved inside. The church has been beautifully restored. It's a quiet sanctuary in a city that's very lively. Some people were in the church to admire the architecture and history, while others were experiencing a spiritual moment. Unlike nearby St. Nicholas Church (Nikolaikirche) there was no music. In fact, the churches had a very different vibe. St. Nicholas Church is bathed in light colors. It's bright and airy, while St. Thomas Church is dark with rich wood. St. Thomas Church has a ton of historical paintings and religious relics. There's also a great display of vintage instruments that were used in the church throughout history. The instruments are accompanied by pages of musical notes and religious texts. Thankfully, Thomaskirche allows photography and admission is free. The church has a box where they accept donations. I was happy to donate to keep such an inspiring building open to the public. According to literature at the church, they also play host to various concerts throughout the year. The St. Thomas Church Boys Choir is also very highly regarded. Famous around the world, it was founded in 1212! St. Thomas Church also boasts two organs. One didn't match up with Bach's music, so another one was constructed just so his tunes could waft through the church. Toward the end of this video, you can also see the statue of Felix Mendelssohn. The statue is located behind St. Thomas Church, and it commemorates the years Mendelssohn lived in Leipzig, from 1835-1847.
