The Guide to Bach Tour is a section of the Bach Cantatas Website (BCW), which contains information about every place associated with Bach: [L] = Places J.S. Bach lived in; [V] = Places Bach visited; [F] = Bach family places. The Guide can also be used for planning a Bach Tour. See:
http://www.bach-cantatas.com/Tour/index.htm
The Guide contains: Life history of J.S. Bach; Maps; Page/s for each place, including: Description and history of the place and its Bach connection, Relevant events in life history of J.S. Bach, Performance dates of J.S. Bach’s vocal works, Features of interest, Information & links, Photos, Maps; Recommended routes.
6 new places which J.S. Bach possibly visited were added to Guide to Bach Tour:
Ebstorf, Lower Saxony: http://www.bach-cantatas.com/Tour/Ebstorf.htm
Freiberg, Saxony: http://www.bach-cantatas.com/Tour/Freiberg.htm
Görlitz, Saxony: http://www.bach-cantatas.com/Tour/Gorlitz.htm
Langula, Thuringia: http://www.bach-cantatas.com/Tour/Langula.htm
Nienburg (Saale), Saxony-Anhalt: http://www.bach-cantatas.com/Tour/Nienburg.htm
Rötha, Saxony: http://www.bach-cantatas.com/Tour/Rotha.htm
All in all, the Guide to Bach Tour now contains 56 place associated with Bach. I hope to use the opportunity of attending the upcoming Bachfest Leipzig to visit some of these "new" places.
An important source for info about the "new" Bach places was the new book by Robert L. Marshall & Traute M. Marshall: "Exploring the World of J.S. Bach - A Traveller's Guide" (University of Illinois Press, 2016).
