Leipzig Live - Feel the Spirit of Change |
|
|
Looking for „Leipzig, Germany“ on the internet, you
will find many hints concerning what Leipzig stands for: friendly people; about
850 years of the city’s history; Boom-Town of Eastern Germany; city for
exhibitions, congresses and trade; culture, sports, scene and shopping; Bach,
Mendelssohn, Wagner and Grieg; Goethe and Schiller; City of the peaceful
Revolution in 1989; city without limits and city of changes…
Leipzig
has a remarkable history and is remarkable; a city where so many changes in Europe originated.
You will be able to experience that directly at the city’s pulse of life; as you
will be right there with all the other participants of the conference.
 Welcome in “my” city! Welcome to „Leipzig Live“!
If you are not able to arrive a few days before the
conference in order to explore the city, it will be possible to do this on
Saturday, 2nd August.
We will start in the afternoon
taking the tram at the Congress Centre of the exhibition. After ten minutes you
will be in front of Leipzig’s main station, directly at the city centre. This is the starting point
for your individual discovery tour. You can choose what you would like to do. Are
you interested in history? Visit the historical city centre, participate in a
guided tour of a museum or learn more about Rome in 312 in the
Panometer. Do you like to dance or listen to the music? Visit the major stage
at the Augustusplatz and dive deeper into the music of different continents and
countries. Livebands, choirs and musicians will show you their world of music. Do
you like to experience a culinary adventure? Innumerable cafés with creations
of ice cream and cakes and restaurants with German cooking are waiting for you.
Would you like to know how to change the world peacefully? Go to the
Nikolaikirche and participate in a prayer of peace. Visit the contemporary history
forum, which offers guided tours exclusively for you. Or do you just want to go
for a stroll in the city? Many stores – whether small and major ones – will
open their doors for you.
The highlight of the „Leipzig
Live day“ will be the evening. You are invited to join the celebration at the
Augustusplatz along with the people of Leipzig and
all the other participants of the conference. Starting at 7 p.m., the radio
and television presenter Andreas Malessa will host a show of two hours and
present you Leipzig in a more detailed way. You will get to know people who changed Germany
through prayers and demonstrations in 1989; you will hear the music of Johann
Sebastian Bach played by real Gewandhausmusiker (famous musicians); you will
get to know Christians who experienced God’s Spirit of change directly in their
lives; you will see how wonderful it is to worship God with Christians of
different churches. Additionally, you will be able to listen to Judy Bailey and
her band, to Helmut Jost and Gospelfire and many other bands that are looking
forward to coming to “Leipzig Live”.
We will see each other at “Leipzig Live – Feel the
Spirit of Change”. If you want to know more about “Leipzig Live”, click here.
