Mendelssohn House Leipzig
The benefits are described under "Good to know/price information"
The Mendelssohn House is the only surviving home of the composer Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, who died in Leipzig in 1847. It is now used as a music salon and is also the world's only Mendelssohn museum. Visitors to the museum can access Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy's apartment via the preserved historic staircase, which has been restored to its original design as it was during the composer's lifetime. The composer's study, where works such as the oratorio Elijah were written, the magnificent music salon, where numerous prominent visitors such as Richard Wagner, Robert and Clara Schumann and Hans Christian Andersen frequented and where a concert is held every Sunday today, the furniture from the family estate, letters and sheet music, watercolors by Mendelssohn and extensive information on the life and work of the artist make this authentic place an unforgettable experience. Thanks to the audio guides in German, in German for children and in plain language, visitors can delve even deeper into Mendelssohn's world.
The museum in the Mendelssohn House also offers various activities for children, including many small events in the Mendelssohn House coach house during the summer and winter vacations as well as educational programs for kindergarten groups and school classes.
More about the Mendelssohn House and the musician and composer Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy can be heard in the podcast "Willkommen in Leipzig".
