Experience Leipzig from 50 meters high!
Experience Leipzig from a completely new perspective! Climb the 232 steps of the tower of St. Thomas Church and enjoy a fantastic panoramic view of the city from a height of 50 meters. But it's not just the breathtaking panorama that makes the tower tour unique - the climb itself holds many exciting discoveries.
With our expert guide, you will make several stops during the climb, which will provide fascinating insights into the history of the church and the city of Leipzig. A special highlight is the historical "graffiti" of a Saxon foot artilleryman, which dates back to the time of the Battle of the Nations in 1813. The inscription in the masonry testifies to the dramatic events of that time. Equally impressive is a cannonball that got stuck in the beams of the tower during the fighting in 1813 - a silent witness to one of the greatest battles in European history.
Another extraordinary experience awaits you in the historic tower keeper's apartment, which was inhabited from 1533 to 1917. It extends over three floors and gives a vivid picture of the everyday life of the tower keeper families. For centuries they guarded the city from here. On this tour you will find out first hand what tasks they had and how they experienced the changes in Leipzig over the centuries.
The historic bells of St. Thomas Church are also very impressive. The bells in the church tower are not only impressive works of art, but also tell a moving story. Each of them has its own sound and its own meaning. During the tour you will find out what messages they convey and why they are so special.
This tower climb offers a unique combination of history, adventure and spectacular views. Experience Leipzig from above and be fascinated by the stories of St. Thomas Church!
