Old Nikolai School

As Leipzig’s first municipal school, the Old Nikolai School on Nikolai churchyard is one of the city’s most valuable cultural monuments. It first opened its doors in 1512. Famous Nikolaitans included Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, Johann Gottfried Seume, Richard Wagner and Karl Liebknecht. Today it houses a permanent exhibition on Richard Wagner and the Leipzig University Museum of Antiquities.
