The Leipziger WissensSpuren form a network of sites that have witnessed eminent contributions to science and knowledge. Predominantly they are located on a strip of the city beginning at the Alte Messe, passing through the Science Quarter to the Grassi Museums, and continuing through the city center into the Music Quarter.

Once every month we offer a half-day excusion addressing a topic with a focus on a topic of current interest. Recollections of the tour are available in our blog.

The following routes can also be booked by groups or school classes:
