Germany

Germany is Europe's most populated nation and ranks among the leading economic powers in the world. Situated at the heart of Europe, Germany borders on nine neighbouring countries, and is home to around 82 million people. In 1989 the Monday Demonstrations which started in Leipzig brought about the peaceful reunification of Germany.

Leipzig

Leipzig is located in eastern Germany, a one hour drive from Berlin in the north-west part of the Free State of Saxony. Leipzig currently has about 494,000 inhabitant and enjoys, in general, a relatively mild climate. In April the average temperature is 14°C (57°F).

Having grown up as a trade-fair and commercial centre Leipzig is today a lively, open-minded, youthful and yet a very old City of culture and trade. The Thomanerchor (St Thomas Choir), one of the oldest boys’ choirs in the world, must be mentioned here, as must its most famous choir master, Johann Sebastian Bach. Then there are the Gewandhaus Orchestra and the Opera House, making Leipzig a favourite destination. The historic centre of the city with it´s splendid old Fair Houses, their arcades, shops, coffee houses, pubs and restaurants, makes Leipzig’s own special flair – vitality, cosmopolitan attitudes and hospitality.
