"Wir sind das Volk" (We are the people) - this protest song from Leipzig´s Monday demonstrations represents, like no other, the energy and desire for change that rose up from the streets in autumn 1989. The Peaceful Revolution of 9 October 1989 in Leipzig paved the way for the Fall of the Berlin Wall and the German Reunification.
All year round, visitors can follow in the traces of these historical events in and around Leipzig. This leaflet provides a survey of institutions, monuments, events and background information.
