| | Leipzig, Germany |
 | | Leipzig views itself in grand terms and some might argue with a touch of arrogance: media metropolis, trade fair centre, book city, mini-Paris, or city of the citizens' movement. | | | The Brodyer Synagogue was founded in 1904 and was the only one of Leipzigs synagogues to survive the Nazi purges on Kristallnacht in 1938. | | | The 90 metre-high viewing platform offers a breathtaking views over Leipzig. |

| | Introduction |
| | So far the focus has been on the Leipzig Mission, together with closely related material now kept in archives in Bavaria (Nuremberg and Neuendettelsau). | | | The following people have participated in the project: Petra Albert, Matthias Eger, Adam Jones, Christoph Langer, Steffen Lehmann, Anja Schroedter, Viola Solluntsch (all University of Leipzig); Gudrun Miehe and Anette Volk (both University of Bayreuth). | | | In general, guides to these archives do not exist; scholars have only recently begun to recognise the importance of such sources; and there is a pressing need for such material to be sorted, classified and made known. |

| | Leipzig has been a city of trade fairs since its very beginning: In the 7th-9th century, Slavonian settlers founded the town Lipzk at the intersection of the trade routes Via Imperii and Via Regia. | | | Branching off from the market is Barthel's Court, Leipzig's last originally preserved trade court. | | | As Leipzig turned into one of the most important venues for worldwide and especially east-west trade over the centuries, many of the old fair houses and merchant courts that still characterize the city center's look today were built. |

| | A network of "water mains" had existed in Leipzig since 1504; its precise location through the city's streets is still preserved on plans held by the city today. | | | Some important buildings were connected directly to feeder pipes; during the 1720s and 30s there was much redevelopment in the City, and new buildings were all connected to the water supply. | | | We end this brief tour of Bach's Leipzig with an idealized view of Richter's Coffee garden which nonetheless captures the lively cultured atmosphere of the city in 1736 when this frontispiece to the Song Collection "The Singing Muse by the Pleisse" was published. |
