Leipzig - Germany

This is a card from Leipzig sent by Detlef with a coffee house from 1556.


"Leipzig is the largest city in the federal state of Saxony, Germany.
The Leipzig region was the arena of the Battle of the Nations, which ended Napoleon's run of conquest in Europe, and led to his first exile on Elba.
Johann Sebastian Bach worked in Leipzig from 1723 to 1750 and Richard Wagner the composer was born in Leipzig in 1813. Robert Schumann was also active in Leipzig music." - in:
