GENERALLY we connect Leipzig’s extraordinary musical tradition and present with our city – its architecture, its public spaces and its green areas, its history, its personalities and its citizens. We supply space for music in our city and offer it as an experience in the city. Together we promote Leipzig’s musical heritage and share it with people from near and far.
SPECIFICALLY our aim is to give the lost heritage of Jewish culture a “home” again in our city by “localising” it and thus bringing it back into the memory of our city. The project family “Jüdische Notenspuren” (Jewish Music Trails) cooperates with the Jewish community. It focuses in this sense on communicating regional Jewish musical heritage to children, citizens and visitors of the city of Leipzig – as interactively as possible, sensibly and closely linked to former sites and buildings in Leipzig that tell German-Jewish cultural history.
The Leipziger Notenspur (Leipzig Music Trail) is holder of the European Heritage Label.

The “Project 2025 – Arche Musica” is an innovative German-Israeli research and education project Project of musical remembrance. It is run on a voluntary basis.
Project partners are the “Music Department and National Sound Archive of the National Library of Israel” in Jerusalem and the “Music Department of the Tel Aviv School of Arts”. The scientific project team processes, digitizes and transliterates the works collected in the “Arche Musica” and transfers them into the regular and barrier-free musical notation. Because of its special significance, Dr. Felix Klein, the Federal Government Commissioner for Jewish Life and the Fight against Anti-Semitism, has assumed patronage.
A central goal of the project is the research of secular Jewish-German music history and the establishment of a musical culture of remembrance for the prevention of anti-Semitism, which does not yet exist in this form.
