View upon the Saint Thomas Church of Leipzig from the Panorama Tower. The St. Thomas Church or Thomaskirche is a Lutheran church, associated with several well-known composers such as Richard Wagner and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, and especially Johann Sebastian Bach, who worked here as a Kapellmeister or music director from 1723 until his death in 1750. Today, the church also holds his remains. Martin Luther preached here in 1539. The church today mainly retains the character of a late-Gothic hall church.
