In 2015 , the St . Nikolai Leipzig
celebrates its 850th anniversary . Over
the centuries , decisive impulses have
repeatedly emanated from it :
1539 First official Protestant church
service in Leipzig and thus
introduction of the Reformation
1723 Appointed Johann Sebastian
Bach as Director musices of the city
of Leipzig - world premiere of many
of his works in the St . Nikolai
1989 Crucial starting point of the
Peaceful Revolution , which changed
Europe
These events have moved people and
are lasting witnesses of the faith . In
the festive year from St . Nicholas Day ,
6 December 2014 , to St . Nicholas Day ,
6 December 2015 , we want to look
back on 850 years of rich history of
faith .
Be cordially invited to numerous
events in the anniversary year .
