The Mendelssohn-Haus Leipzig is the only surviving residence of composer Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and the world’s only museum dedicated to his life and work. Located on Goldschmidtstraße, the elegant late Biedermeier apartment preserves the atmosphere of the years when Mendelssohn directed the Gewandhaus Orchestra and composed masterpieces such as the oratorio Elijah. Visitors can explore his study, family rooms, and the historic music salon, once frequented by Robert and Clara Schumann, Richard Wagner, and Hans Christian Andersen. Today, the salon hosts chamber concerts every Sunday, continuing the tradition of intimate music-making in the composer’s home. The museum also presents original manuscripts, letters, and watercolors by Mendelssohn, alongside interactive installations that bring his music and era to life. Managed by the Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy Foundation, the house combines historical authenticity with modern interpretation, offering a vivid portrait of one of the Romantic era’s most influential musicians and his enduring connection to Leipzig’s cultural identity.
