Stories behind forgotten walls…..

If your German is up to it there is a wonderful event happening at the Soviet Pavilion at the Alte Messe this weekend.  A documentary is being shown by a group of independent film makers which tells the stories behind some of Leipzig’s beautiful ruins.  These are stunning architectural spaces, tunnels and cellars which have lain dormant for the last 20 years…waiting for a fairy godmother to bring them back to life (though I do like them in their ruin form).

The première takes place on 30.03.12 at 20:00.  Further showings will take place on 31.03 and 01.04 – both also at 20:00.

There will also be a photo exhibition and an after-show party.

Happy Birthday Bach!!

Cake and singing and throngs of well wishers marked Bach’s birthday today.  Mayor Burkhard Jung was on hand to cut the cake, which was apparently in the shape of a violin.  By the time we got there, it had been decimated somewhat….

A big sing-along to wish Bach a Happy Birthday....
