Leipzig is located in the eastern German state of Saxony and is the state's largest city and an important economic and cultural center. The city has a long history, dating back to 900 AD, and was once a trading hub and the birthplace of the printing industry. Leipzig is known as the "City of Heroes" and for the peaceful revolution that led to the reunification of the two German states in 1989.
Leipzig has a wealth of cultural resources, including the Bach Museum, the Grassi Museum and the Thomas Choir. Founded in 1409, the University of Leipzig is one of the oldest universities in Europe, where such luminaries as Goethe and Nietzsche studied. Annual book fairs and the Bach Festival attract visitors from around the world.
As the base of the German automobile industry, Porsche and BMW have factories here. Leipzig's train station is the largest terminal in Europe, and the airport is connected to many national air routes. The city has a high level of green space, a network of canals and the "Leipzig Neue Lakes" provide recreational space, combining historical charm with modern vitality.
