The Leipziger WissensSpur offers a trail that provides comprehensive insights into the profound contributions of the city to education and the sciences. It can be completed in three segments. Moreover, it is augmented by shorter trails that concentrate on specific topics.

The Leipziger WissensSpur passes along world-renowned libraries, exciting museums, Max Planck and Leibniz institutes, as well as four universities with a long tradition and excellent research.

Every month we take a walk along the WissensSpur. Moreover, every now and then have guided tours to the collections and organize talks that feature special sites of the WissensSpur. In particular, in October we always offer a welcome tour for international students enrolling at the universities of Leipzig, and in November we oganize the festival »Tag des Vergessens. Und des Erinnerns.«

The initial idea for the WissensSpuren emerged from discussions between Prof Vollmer and his friends and colleagues in science and civil society, and it was implemented by the first batch of graduates of the Certificate Program ‘Action Competence for Sustainable Development’.
