BCW: Bach Lodging in Leipzig

November 9, 2018

There is no longer any lodging in Germany where J.S. Bach lived and worked. If one knows the different cities, and, in some cases, the places where his residence stood, no more traces exist. No single wall of a house lived by the master is today a place of memory for the many pilgrims who are lovers and admirers of his work.
Marc Boss, President of Versailles Chamber Orchestra and a Bach enthusiast, had the idea to search with the help of the cadastral maps of the city the exact location where J.S. Bach's home was located. Up till now, it was believed that there was no trace anywhere of any walls of a building where he lived. His study shows that walls and floor of part of Bach's lodging in Leipzig probably exist under ground. See:
