history

The Liedertafel zu Leipzig was founded on October 24, 1815 on the initiative of Jacob Bernhard Limburger . The meetings took place alternately in the rooms of the inviting member. After 1840 the members met only sporadically and on March 13, 1846 there was the last documented meeting.

In contrast to most of the other Liedertafeln that were founded throughout Germany over the years, their membership was always limited to twelve people. There were a total of only 25 members plus their honorary member Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy .
