A breathtaking view, fascinating insights into Leipzig's history, and a glass of champagne – all this awaits you on this special tower climb in St. Thomas Church. If you climb the 232 steps to the top, you'll be rewarded with an incomparable panorama of the city and stories that can only be experienced in this place.
Even as you climb, a new perspective on the past opens up: Together with our expert guide, you'll explore the tower in several stages. A particularly remarkable find is the engraved graffiti of a Saxon soldier from 1813 – a direct link to the Battle of the Nations, which once made Leipzig the scene of European history.
Other impressive traces of this time are also clearly visible in the masonry of the tower, including an original preserved cannonball.
A highlight of the tour is a visit to the historic tower apartment, which spans three levels. Here you'll learn how the tower families lived, worked, and watched over Leipzig for many generations.
The impressive bells of St. Thomas Church are also examined in more detail. The different bells tell of tradition, change, and the many roles of the church in the life of the city.
At the end, you'll enjoy a glass of non-alcoholic sparkling wine on the viewing platform, not only the fantastic view, but also a quiet moment over the rooftops of Leipzig.
