The Michaelis Church in Leipzig was built in 1901-1904 in the newly developed Nordvorstadt district of Leipzig. The architecture does not correspond to any style, but combines neo-Gothic, neo-Baroque and Art Nouveau elements.
The Nikolaikirche, which was founded in the 12th century, is the oldest and largest church in Leipzig. In the autumn of 1989, the Nikolaikirche was the central starting point of the peaceful revolution in the GDR with the fall of the Berlin Wall on 9 November 1989 and the reunification of Germany on 3 October 1990.
The St. Thomas Church was built on a Romanesque church of the twelfth century. Between 1492 and 1496, it took the current form of a late-Gothic Hall church. In the 19th century finally, the interior of the Saint-Thomas church was renovated in the neo-Gothic style.
