St. Thomas Church in Leipzig has gained worldwide fame thanks to Johann Sebastian Bach who now lies buried in the choir of his church. This is, however, not the only worthwhile reason to visit the church: besides the church music tradition with the renowned St. Thomas Boys Choir, the church’s architectural and art historical heritage merits a trip.
The church guide, which is available in German and English, gives an overview of the most important facts about St. Thomas Church, illustrated with many images. Besides interesting details about the colourful and chequered history of the church and the parish as well as past and present of St. Thomas Boys Choir and its most famous cantor Johann Sebastian Bach, the guide includes useful tips regarding service schedules and opening times.
