'''Leipzig''' with its 509,000 inhabitants is the biggest city in the German ''Bundesland'' (state) of [[Saxony]], though [[Dresden]] is not much smaller (508,000 inhabitants).
The composers [[Johann Sebastian Bach]], [[Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy]] and [[Robert Schumann]] all worked in Leipzig, and nowadays, the famous [[Thomanerchor]] and the [[Gewandhausorchester]] are located here.
The university of Leipzig was founded in 1409, thus, it is the third oldest in Germany.
