Subjects : Leipzig is the largest city in the federal state of Saxony, Germany. Leipzig is located about 160 kilometers southwest of Berlin at the confluence of the White Elster, Pleisse, and Parthe rivers. Leipzig has been a trade city since at least the time of the Holy Roman Empire. The city sits at the intersection of the Via Regia and Via Imperii, two important Medieval trade routes. Leipzig was once one of the major European centers of learning and culture in fields such as music and publishing. Leipzig became a major urban center within the German Democratic Republic. Leipzig later played a significant role in instigating the fall of communism in Eastern Europe, through events which took place in and around St. Nicholas Church. Since the reunification of Germany, Leipzig has undergone significant change with the restoration of some historical buildings, the demolition of others, and the development of a modern transport infrastructure. Leipzig today is an economic center and the most livable city in Germany, according to the GfK marketing research institution. Oper Leipzig is a prominent opera house, and Leipzig Zoological Garden is one of the most modern zoos in Europe and ranks first in Germany and second in Europe according to Anthony Sheridan. Leipzig is currently listed as Gamma World City and is well known as Hero City (Heldenstadt) according to the Heldenstadt blog.

Recommended equipment : Camera suitable for travel photography. Lenses should be in a range from wide angle for example 14 mm to zoom lenses like 24-105 mm.Don't forget a travel tripod because there are many places like the Leipzig Passages.

Best months : The whole year you will find good times for taking pictures. The winter is almost not to cold, there is not much snow. Many opportunities for architecture also inside buildings. My favourite seasons are spring and autumn for the green parks and places in the city.

How to get there : From south: Dresden 120 km autoroute A14From northeast: Berlin 150 km autoroute A9From south: Munich 420 km autoroute A9From west: Frankfurt 39 km autoroute A5/A4/A9Travelling by train and aeroplane is also possible.

Visits : Museums normally has costs, some are free on the 1st. Wednesday of the month, for example the city museum, located at the market place.Interesting places are the Opera, Gewandhaus, Zoological Garden, Augustusplatz, Monument to the battle of the nations, Federal administrative court of Germany, City-Skyscraper, Nicholas Church, Thomas Church, Leipzig Passages Old City Hall, New City Hall, Auerbach`s Cellar, Botanical Garden Leipzig Railway Station, the new Augusteum and Paulinum of the University of Leipzig, Trade fair and many more.The historic downtown area of Leipzig features a renaissance style ensemble of buildings from the 16th century, including the old city hall in the market place. There are also several baroque period trading houses and former residences of rich merchants. As Leipzig grew considerably during the economic boom of the late 19th century, the town has many buildings in the historicist style representative of the Gründerzeit era. Approximately 35% of Leipzig's apartments are in buildings of this type. The new city hall, completed in 1905, displays the same style.

Notes : Very interesting in the inner city and good for travelling by foot: Leipzig's Passages.You can find interesting details (german) under:http://www.passagenfest-leipzig.com/fileadmin/user_upload/Information/Passagen_und_Hoefe2.pdf
