St. Peter

The Paulinum has a double function, that of a church, "St. Paul's University Church", and that of an assembly hall. The building was constructed between 2007 and 2017 according to the plans of Dutch architect Erick van Egeraat on the site where the University Church of St. Paul was destroyed by the explosion on 30 May 1968. Completion of the building was originally planned for the university's anniversary year in 2009 but was only partially completed by that date.

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.

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.
