Germany
Leipzig is the largest city of Saxony in eastern Germany. Its trade fair traces its origins to 1190, and its university, founded in 1409, counts Leibniz, born in the city in 1646, among its students and Werner Heisenberg among its professors; the city was also a centre of German publishing from 1764 to 1945. In 1519 Johann Eck debated Martin Luther at the Pleissenburg castle, and Johann Sebastian Bach worked at St Thomas Church from 1723 until 1750. A Jewish community of more than 11,000 in 1933 was destroyed under Nazi rule: its synagogue was burned in 1938 and the remaining Jews were deported in 1942-43. The 1989 Monday demonstrations began at St Nicholas Church.
