Mendelssohn-Haus
Mendelssohn-Haus Leipzig
The Mendelssohn-Haus (Mendelssohn House) in Leipzig, 12 Goldschmidtstraße, has been preserved as the last and sole private residence of the composer Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. It is of great historical and cultural importance. Built in 1844, in the style of Late Classicism the house is an important witness of its time and it preserves much of the original building and information about its most prominent occupier who lived with his family on the 1st floor beginning in 1845 and died here November 4 in 1847. Today, Mendelssohn's flat is a museum in honour of this brilliant German composer, virtuoso and conductor who was also a very good painter and active in the field of cultural and educational policy. The visitor can experience this flat as an authentic place where many progressive ideas for the European musical life and the world of thought came from.
