The Thomaskirche (St. Thomas Church) is a Lutheran church in Leipzig, Germany. It is most famous as the place where Johann Sebastian Bach worked as a Kapellmeister, and as the location of his remains.
There has been a church at the current site of the Thomaskirche since the 12th century. Between 1212 and 1222 the preceding church became the new St. Thomas Monastery of the Augustinian order. In 1217, The Minnesinger, or troubadour (see Minnesang), Heinrich von Morungen bequeathed to the church a relic of St. Thomas as he entered the order of canons after a trip to India. After several reconstructions (remains of an earlier Romanesque church were found during archaeological excavations), the current building, an example of late Gothic architecture, was consecrated by Thilo of Trotha, the Bishop of Merseburg, on April 10, 1496. The reformer Martin Luther preached here on Pentecost Sunday in 1539. Today, it is a Lutheran church.
The tower was first built in 1537 and reconstructed in 1702, leading to its current height of 68 meters.

Leipzig (/ˈlaɪpsɪɡ/; German: [ˈlaɪptsɪç]) is the largest city in the federal state of Saxony, Germany. With its population of 544,479 inhabitants (1,001,220 residents in the larger urban zone) Leipzig, one of Germany's top 15 cities by population, is located about 160 kilometers (99 miles) southwest of Berlin at the confluence of the White Elster, Pleisse, and Parthe rivers at the southerly end of the North German Plain.
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 (East Germany) after World War II, but its cultural and economic importance declined despite East Germany being the richest economy in the Soviet Bloc.
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 one of the most prominent opera houses in Germany, 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 Germany's "Boomtown".
Diese Aufzeichnung ist ein Gedenkkonzert zum 250. Todestag von Johann Sebastian Bach, das am 28. Juli 2000 in der Leipziger Thomaskirche stattfand. Bekannterweise ist die Thomaskirche jener Ort, an dem Bach über 25 Jahre als Kantor tätig war. Die ausführenden Musiker dieser Aufnahme sind somit die direkten Nachfolger der Bach'schen Tradition und das Konzert erinnert an die musikalischen Gottesdienste jener Zeit. Die h-Moll Messe, die auch als "musikalisches Testament" Bachs gilt, wurde von August 1748 bis Oktober 1749 komponiert und zeugt von der großen künstlerischen Reife des Meisters. In der neueren Forschung gilt sie als sein letztes vollendetes Werk und ist auch in diesem Sinne von Interesse. Gewandhausorchester Leipzig und Thomanerchor Leipzig unter der Leitung von Georg Christoph B...

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 cong...

It's time to take you on a Leipzig Germany Tour, sorta. What I mean by it's sort of a Leipzig Germany Tour is that it's not comprehensive and showing you all the this and that. It's more me looking for a Doctor but having no luck. In the process though we get to see lots of the Leipzig, Germany which was cool.
