About this museum

Das Alte Rathaus als Teil des Stadtgeschichtlichen Museum Leipzig ist neben den Kirchen von St. Thomas und St. Nikolai die authentische Bachstätte Leipzigs. Hier tagten der Rat als Dienstherr und die für die städtischen Kirchen und Schulen zuständigen Gremien. Im Alten Rathaus wurde Bach 1723 zum Thomaskantor gewählt; hier unterschrieb er seinen Vertrag und leistete seinen Amtseid.
