What is the history of St Thomas Church Leipzig?

Thomas Church was built as a monastery church in 1212. It thus looks back on a history spanning more than 800 years. For 27 years, the church was the home of Johann Sebastian Bach, who served as St. Thomas Cantor in Leipzig from 1723 to 1750.

Where did Bach live in Leipzig?

The Bach family lived just across the street in the old St Thomas's School (which was demolished in 1902). Remnants of the sixteenth-century front building include the twin-aisled Renaissance entrance hall with its impressive Tuscan columns and the portal with its Romanesque arch made from Rochlitz porphyry.
