Thomas Church in Leipzig is - together with the Nikolaikirche - one of the two main churches in the city and known worldwide as the place where Johann Sebastian Bach and the Thomanerchor worked. It is the church of the Evangelical Lutheran parish of St. Thomas.

History: The foundations of a Romanesque church from around 1160, when Margrave Otto the Rich of Meissen granted town rights to the castle and the castle suburb of Libzi, came to light during archaeological excavations under the chancel and under the crossing.

Between 1212 and 1222 this older market church was converted into the collegiate church of the new Thomas monastery of the Augustinian canons. The minnesinger Heinrich von Morungen is said to have given the monastery a relic of St. Thomas that he had brought from India.

The Thomanerchor was founded in 1212 and is therefore one of the oldest boys' choirs in Germany. In the course of history, important composers and performing musicians have repeatedly held the prestigious office of Thomaskantor.

Around 1355 the Romanesque chancel was rebuilt. In 1391 the Sommerfeld church was transferred from the Kreuzkloster Meissen to the Thomaskirche in Leipzig.

Towards the end of the 15th At the end of the 19th century, Leipzig achieved lavish prosperity through silver discoveries in the Ore Mountains. As a result, one could afford to rebuild or at least expand the Leipzig churches within about 40 years. So the old nave was demolished in 1482 and rebuilt in the shape that has largely existed to this day.[1] The church was founded by the Merseburg bishop Thilo von Trotha on 10. Rededicated April 1496. Over the centuries it has undergone several additions and conversions; the most important is the 68 m high tower, the lowest floor of which dates from before 1355 and was built in the 14th century. Century the octagonal attachment and in the middle of the 19. century took on its present form.

At Whitsun 1539 the reformer Martin Luther preached here.

The exterior of the church is mainly the result of renovations and alterations in the 19th and 19th centuries. century. After the church was handed over from the property of the council to the self-government of the parish in 1869, historicizing conversions to the outer facade took place for around 30 years. Among other things, two chapel extensions from the 17th century were demolished. Century and an elongated porch on the north wall of the nave. The neo-Gothic facade on the west gable was built between 1884 and 1889 according to designs by Constantin Lipsius, while at the same time all Gothic and Renaissance facade elements and the entire Baroque interior were removed.

In addition to several of Bach's children, Karl Liebknecht was baptized in the Thomaskirche in 1871, among others. Written godparents were Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.

From time immemorial, the tower contained the apartment of the watchman. This was inhabited from 1533 to 1917.

During the air raid on Leipzig on 4. December 1943 damage occurred to the entire structure. Large parts of the buildings surrounding the church were also destroyed during the attack, so that further facade redesigns were necessary during the restoration after the end of the war. The uniform plaster is particularly noteworthy, while the demolition of the extensions in the 19th century The façade areas that had become largely vacant in the 19th century had previously only consisted of unplastered brick masonry.

In 1949 the presumed bones of Bach, who was Thomaskantor here from 1723 until his death in 1750, were transferred from the destroyed St. John's Church.

In the course of interior renovations from 1961 to 1964, an attempt was made to make the building look like a late Gothic hall church again.

Architecture: The three-nave hall church has a total length of 76 m. The length of the nave is 50 m, width 25 m and height 18 m. The chancel is angled slightly to the north towards the nave. The roof has an unusually steep pitch of 63°, making it one of the steepest gabled roofs in Germany. Inside it has seven levels (ridge height 45 m). The ceiling of the nave consists of a colour-contrasting ribbed vault.
