Muchas figuras notables han vivido aqu\u00ed, y sus ciudadanos fueron fundamentales para provocar la ca\u00edda del comunismo en Europa del Este.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Hoy, sin dejar de honrar su pasado, Leipzig est\u00e1 tomando un rumbo claro hacia un futuro vibrante en las artes, la cultura, la cocina y el turismo.<\/p>\n<p>Durante los d\u00edas del Imperio Romano, Leipzig se consideraba una ciudad comercial principal debido a su ubicaci\u00f3n estrat\u00e9gica a lo largo de las principales carreteras, como la V\u00eda Regia (Carretera Real), que se extend\u00eda desde el r\u00edo Rin hasta Frankfurt. Tambi\u00e9n conocida por su cultura y m\u00fasica, Leipzig fue el hogar de Bach, Wagner, Schumann y Mendelssohn.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3882\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3882\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/missionvalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/web-Bulding-with-fountain-at-night-in-Leipzig.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3882 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/missionvalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/web-Bulding-with-fountain-at-night-in-Leipzig.jpg\" alt=\"Leipzig\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/400;\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3882\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">El edificio Kroch-Haus es parte de la Universidad de Leipzig. <em>(Foto por Ron popa)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Bach fue, perdonen el juego de palabras, instrumental en el desarrollo temprano del Coro de la Iglesia de Santo Tom\u00e1s y tambi\u00e9n fue su director desde 1723-50. Hoy, el coro de ni\u00f1os de St. Thomas de Leipzig rinde homenaje a Bach en su repertorio y deleita al p\u00fablico de todo el mundo. Las cantinas se pueden escuchar aqu\u00ed todos los viernes y s\u00e1bados.<\/p>\n<p>Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la ciudad fue moderadamente bombardeada por los Aliados y gran parte de su cultura y creatividad sufrieron bajo el gobierno de la Rep\u00fablica Democr\u00e1tica Alemana (RDA) comunista y su polic\u00eda secreta autoritaria conocida como STASI. La pel\u00edcula \u201cLa vida de los dem\u00e1s\u201d describe c\u00f3mo era la vida bajo este r\u00e9gimen opresor.<\/p>\n<p>During the 1980s, some of the local citizens started meeting at St. Nicholas Church every Monday to pray for peace. This led to a series of nonviolent protests against the GDR regime known as the Monday demonstrations. On Oct. 9, 1989, 70,000 marched and chanted, \u201cWir sind das volk!\u201d (\u201cWe are the people!\u201d) Without the usual massive crackdown by the government against the protestors, larger demonstrations followed, and by Nov. 9, the Berlin Wall came down, owing, in part, to the pressure exerted by the Leipzig residents.<\/p>\n<p>El edificio que una vez us\u00f3 la STASI ahora se conoce como The Museum in the Round Corner y es un testimonio de la brutalidad del pasado y de la valent\u00eda de los residentes que formaron parte de lo que se conoci\u00f3 como La Revoluci\u00f3n Pac\u00edfica.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arte y Cultura<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In recent years, Leipzig has emerged as a tourist mecca with museums, restaurants and historical sites to explore. One such area that is being reclaimed is known as the Spinnerei. Situated in an industrial zone and constructed with tons of red bricks, the building was once the largest cotton mill in Europe. Today, it houses 12 galleries and around 100 artist studios, including works from artists like Neo Rauch of the New Leipzig School of modern German painting.<\/p>\n<p>La \u00d3pera de Leipzig es conocida como el tercer escenario musical burgu\u00e9s m\u00e1s antiguo de Europa y es tan hermosa por dentro como por fuera. Est\u00e1 ubicado en lo que sol\u00eda ser conocida como la Plaza Karl Marx, el sitio de la Revoluci\u00f3n Tranquila o Pac\u00edfica de 1989. Hoy en d\u00eda, una amplia variedad de programas musicales est\u00e1n disponibles desde la \u00f3pera moderna hasta la m\u00fasica barroca y los ballets.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3884\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3884\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/missionvalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/web-Old-City-Hall-Leipzig.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3884 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/missionvalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/web-Old-City-Hall-Leipzig.jpg\" alt=\"Leipzig\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 600px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 600\/400;\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3884\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The old city call building in Leipzig <em>(Foto por Ron popa)<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>El Museum der Bildenden K\u00fcnste, o museo de bellas artes, que parece un gran cubo verde, alberga m\u00e1s de 3500 pinturas y presenta obras de Degas, Monet y Max Klinger. Otros museos son el Museo Bach, el Museo STASI y el Museo de Artes Aplicadas GRASSI. Este \u00faltimo incluye m\u00e1s de 1.500 obras inspiradas en los per\u00edodos art nouveau y art deco.<\/p>\n<p>Hermosos edificios est\u00e1n por todas partes y el Antiguo Ayuntamiento es un ejemplo glorioso de la arquitectura del Renacimiento. Los fines de semana, la plaza del mercado adyacente cobra vida con los vendedores que convierten el \u00e1rea en un mercado de agricultores y ofrecen de todo, desde huevos hasta queso y flores. Cada hora, la torre del reloj suena como para marcar el esp\u00edritu inquebrantable de la ciudad.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Culinario<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The so-called coffee culture is in full brew mode here, and the Zum Arabischen Coffe Baum is one of the oldest surviving coffee houses in Europe. Bach, Goethe and Robert Schumann are among its famous guests. Upstairs is a coffee museum with 500 or so interesting coffee-related exhibits. Another one, Coffee House Riquet, can be recognized by the two elephant heads above the main door, a nod by the architect to the area\u2019s Asian trading links. This is a good place to sit, relax and enjoy local coffee and cake.<\/p>\n<p>Nunca pasar\u00e1 hambre ya que Leipzig tiene m\u00e1s de 1400 pubs y restaurantes, as\u00ed como caf\u00e9s al aire libre. Muchos lugare\u00f1os se refieren cari\u00f1osamente a estos \u00faltimos como LE, de la palabra alemana <em>F<\/em><em>reisitz <\/em>Si\u00e9ntese afuera y vea pasar el mundo mientras disfruta de la cocina local o la cerveza. Bratwurst a la parrilla con mostaza alemana era algo que siempre pod\u00eda encontrar en los vendedores locales, y esto es un nirvana culinario simple cuando se sirve en un panecillo crujiente.<\/p>\n<p>The most famous restaurant in Leipzig is Auersbachs Keller, mentioned in Goethe\u2019s \u201cFaust.\u201d Located downstairs in a shopping arcade, this establishment was started as a wine bar for students. Its origins can be traced perhaps all the way back to 1438. Nowadays, they serve local cuisine, and their roulade with red cabbage and dumplings is among the best you will find anywhere.<\/p>\n<p>Overlooking Market Square and the Old City Hall, Restaurant Weinstock serves local German cuisine and seasonal specials. Everything here is prepared fresh and might include roast duck, white asparagus, locally caught fish, butter schnitzel, and potato pancakes with applesauce. During autumn, one entree features fresh chanterelles with pan fried bacon and onions and a bread dumpling (18 euros). They have a nice wine selection, and you can savor your candlelight meal in one of the most historic sections of Leipzig.<\/p>\n<p>While you\u2019re here, you will also want to try some of the local delicacies. Leipziger Allerlei is a vegetable dish made with carrots, asparagus, cauliflower, morel mushrooms, prawns and bread dumplings. Another local dish is Leipziger Lerche, developed in response to the banning of lark hunting by the King of Saxony in 1876. This alternative is made with short-crust pastry, almonds, marzipan and nuts, all topped with a drop of strawberry jam in what resembles a bird\u2019s nest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Compras<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hay muchas otras cosas para ver y hacer aqu\u00ed, y las compras ocupan un lugar destacado en la lista de los visitantes. Puede comenzar a gastar sus euros tan pronto como llegue a la estaci\u00f3n central de trenes de Leipzig (una de las m\u00e1s grandes de Europa), que se ha convertido en un colorido espect\u00e1culo comercial de tres pisos y 140 tiendas.<a href=\"https:\/\/missionvalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Leipzig-sidebar.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-3886 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/missionvalleynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Leipzig-sidebar-353x1024.png\" width=\"207\" height=\"600\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 207px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 207\/600;\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Al salir de la estaci\u00f3n de tren, encontrar\u00e1 muchas tiendas de lujo a lo largo de Nikolaistra\u00dfe, incluidas H&amp;M, Breuninger y Karstadt. Muchos de los antiguos pasadizos han sido restaurados en una red de panal de unas 30 arcadas cubiertas, 20 de las cuales son originales alrededor del centro de la ciudad.<\/p>\n<p>El Pasaje M\u00e4dler, construido entre 1912 y 1914, se inspir\u00f3 en la Galleria Vittorio Emanuele de Mil\u00e1n. Aqu\u00ed se pueden encontrar modas de moda, restaurantes y peque\u00f1as boutiques. La sala de juegos original m\u00e1s antigua de Leipzig se llama Specks Hof y ofrece una variedad de joyas, art\u00edculos de cuero, vinos finos y chocolates. H\u00f6fen am Br\u00fchl es uno de los centros comerciales minoristas m\u00e1s nuevos y m\u00e1s grandes con 110 tiendas especializadas de todo tipo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Transporte<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bicycles are popular in many parts of Europe, and exploring Leipzig by bike is a fun and leisurely way to see some of the city\u2019s most interesting sights. One company (Lipzi Tours) offers routes that run from downtown to Schleu\u00dfig and Platgwitz, taking you along the Karl Hein Canal and eventually to the aforementioned Spinnerei. In addition to two-wheel transportation, there are tour buses and boat rides along more than 200 kilometers of waterways and canals that intertwine themselves around the city. The Leipzig Card provides unlimited public transportation and also special deals on tours, cultural events and restaurants.<\/p>\n<p>Once you come for a visit, you will find that this former member of the GDR has turned itself around in a big way with tourist visits that rival other major German cities. Whether it is art, music, food or history, Leipzig is one destination that will not disappoint.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u2014P\u00f3ngase en contacto con Ron Stern en <\/em><a href=\"mailto:travelwriter1@comcast.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>travelwriter1@comcast.net<\/em><\/a><em> o visita su blog en <a href=\"http:\/\/globalgumshoe.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">globalgumshoe.com<\/a>. <\/em><em>Esta fue una visita patrocinada, sin embargo, todas las opiniones son del autor.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Ron Stern |\u00a0Global Gumshoe The cosmopolitan city of Germany Located in the East German state of Saxony at the confluence of three rivers, Leipzig has always been a historically important city.
