Mendelssohn House is the former home of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, who lived here during his Leipzig years. The museum presents his life as a composer, conductor, and central figure in the city's 19th-century musical culture.
It is an easy pairing with the Schumann-Haus and the churches linked to Bach. Regular Sunday concerts give the house more life than a static memorial, and the rooms are especially rewarding if Leipzig's music history is one of your reasons for visiting.
