Luther in Leipzig
Follows in the footsteps of the great reformer. He is said to have been in Leipzig 18 times, the last time in 1545, when he consecrated the university church for protestant services. “Leipzig is a fine town” he said, “not only its buildings, but it is well protected, rich and stable, so that it stands like a doll”. A mocking relief in the courtyard of the Fregehouse is said to describe Martin Luther’s defeat in the fight against the Kaiser and Pope.
