The Music Quarter 1906 - View from the tower of the New Town Hall to the Imperial Court building

The residential area of Leipzig's south-west suburb is unofficially referred to as the music district . The name goes back to the first music institutions built in the district, the second Gewandhaus (aka New Concerthaus ) and the new building of the Royal Conservatory of Music . Several streets in the district are named after composers, which is why the term musicians' quarter is also used - incorrectly . The large number of historicist buildings is characteristic of the music district ; numerous buildings are under monument protection . An ensemble monument and conservation statute has been in force for the entire quarter since 1991 . It has an area of ​​around 40 hectares and around 5,000 inhabitants.

Location and local characteristics

The music district connects to the city center of Leipzig in a south-westerly direction. It is bounded in the east and south-east by the Pleißemühlgraben , and in the south-west, west and north by the arched Karl-Tauchnitz-Straße . To the west and north of the district are the Clara-Zetkin-Park and the Johannapark ; to the east borders the inner southern suburb . According to the applicable since 1992 municipal subdivision of Leipzig is the music quarter of the western part of the district in the center-south.

The northern part of the music district is characterized by representative public buildings: the building of the Federal Administrative Court , the university library , the colleges for graphics and book art and for music and theater as well as a branch of the university for technology, economy and culture , the literature institute , the humanities center of the University of Leipzig and the Contemporary Art Gallery . The district has many magnificent villas and bourgeois apartment buildings, which made the music district one of the most elegant areas in the city. The gaps torn in the Second World War were partly closed with prefabricated buildings . After the fall of the Wall , a number of new villas, residential and office buildings were added from the mid-1990s. Nevertheless, some gaps in the original structure could not be closed until today. The music district is crossed by the Pleißemühlgraben , which has been partially restored since 1990 after being covered in the 1950s; a complete opening of the trench is planned.

history

Until 1880

The island of "Buen Retiro"

Until the first half of the 19th century, Leipzig's south-western suburb was a poorly developed meadow and garden landscape. Muddy meadows, ponds and pools, alluvial forest and gardens shaped the terrain.

In the Middle Ages, the Cistercian nuns of the Georgenkloster had settled in the southwest in front of the city wall near the Pleißenburg (No. 2 on the map) until 1543 and built a mill on the Pleißemühlgraben, the nun's mill (No. 3) that existed until 1890 . They also ran a brick factory, for which they used the clay from the floodplain. The remaining holes in the clay pits remained as ponds. To the west of the Pleißemühlgraben there were gardens and ponds at the beginning of the 19th century, first Schwägrichens Garten (No. 4) followed by Trier's Garden (No. 5) with two large ponds, which served the university as a botanical garden from 1806 .

It was followed by the Schimmelsche Gut (No. 6), which bordered the raft place , on which the wood rafted from the Vogtland and Altenburger Land to Leipzig was stacked. The Schimmelschen Gut had three ponds, the largest of which was an island. The farmer Johann Friedrich Schimmel had acquired the estate in 1823 and set up a restaurant on the island that was very popular with the Leipzigers and could be reached via a wooden walkway or by boat. He named the island (No. 7) " Buen Retiro " (Good Refuge).

In 1861, the Johannapark was completed on a former meadow by Peter Joseph Lenné on behalf of Wilhelm Theodor Seyfferth . The efficiency of the railroad made it possible to cease rafting operations in 1864, so that the raft place could be redesigned into a decorative place. A year later, the regulation of Pleiße and Elster began and new building land was gained by draining the area and backfilling the old Pleiße . In 1876 the botanical garden was relocated to today's Linnéstraße.

1880-1945

In 1880, the city acquired the Schimmel property, among other things, and extensive land development and redesign, including parceling, began . The remaining holes of the drained ponds were filled in and the entire building site of the district was leveled in an elaborate manner, whereby the earthfill was immense. To protect against flooding, the terrain level of the built-up area was raised by around two meters compared to the meadows of what would later become the König-Albert-Park . In 1882 the foundation stone for the construction of the New Concert House was laid and the development of the music district began. In 1884 this building - soon called the New Gewandhaus (second Gewandhaus ) - was inaugurated. The inauguration of the Royal Conservatory of Music followed in 1887 . The imperial court building was built from 1888 to 1895 . In 1890 the Royal Academy of Graphic Arts and Book Trade was completed and in 1891 the University Library Bibliotheca Albertina . In 1891 the new building of the municipal trade school (today part of the HTWK ) was also handed over to its intended purpose, although its west wing was not completed until 1903. With the completion of the Reichsgericht in 1895, the construction of the large public buildings in the music district was almost over. From 1896 the electric tram ran through the music district. In 1897 the Saxon-Thuringian industrial and commercial exhibition took place on the outskirts of the new district .

From the mid-1880s, residential construction began in the music district. It emerged villas and multi-storey apartment buildings in closed and open development. Most of the buildings erected first can be assigned to one of the so-called neo-styles of historicism ( neo-renaissance or neo-baroque ). The style model for the private builders was the large public buildings in the quarter. An example of this is the striking Roßbach -Eckhaus (Beethovenstrasse 8) in the neo-renaissance style, which was designed by the architect of the Bibliotheca Albertina and completed in 1893. After 1900, echoes of Art Nouveau can be found in some buildings , which can be seen in the ornamentation and decor of the facade design of some houses.

For the development of the area there were detailed regulations such as building height, building spacing, number of floors and degree of building over the property. The approval of the facade was also reserved for the city council. With the Music Quarter, Leipzig received an area that is particularly valuable in terms of urban development and clearly structured through closed quarter structures, which is now a listed building as an ensemble .

The sides facing or close to the park were decorated with a wreath of villas. The villa plots were quite generous in size and ranged from 1,200 to 2,500 m², so that there was enough space for outbuildings ( sheds ), meter-high fenced in front gardens and lavishly designed gardens. This was particularly true of the villas on Karl-Tauchnitz-Strasse , a good third of which (13 of 32) have survived. Of the total of 71 villas in the district, 21 were based on designs by Max Pommer . He is followed in number by Peter Dybwad (10) and Arwed Roßbach (5).

Around 1900 the development of the music quarter could in principle be regarded as complete. On February 20, 1944, there was an air raid on Leipzig and its southern suburb . In the music district, more than 50 percent of the buildings, including the Gewandhaus, the Conservatory Hall, the Imperial Court, the university library, many villas and residential buildings were totally destroyed or seriously damaged. Further attacks hit the music district on February 27 and April 6, 1945. In the latter case, the central wing and the eastern part of the Bibliotheca Albertina building were destroyed.

1945–1990

The clearing of rubble , which had already begun in 1945/46, was intensified from 1947 onwards by the operation of the rubble railway over the music district, which transported the rubble along Karl-Tauchnitz , Ferdinand-Rhode and Wundtstraße to the Bauernwiesen, where the Fockeberg was created.

On October 1, 1946, the former conservatory was reopened as the State University for Music - Mendelssohn Academy (since 1992 University of Music and Theater "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" Leipzig , short: HMT Leipzig) and on April 26, 1947 the State Academy for Graphics Arts and bookselling . The Georgi Dimitroff Museum was opened in the former Reichsgericht on June 18, 1952 , and the Museum of Fine Arts also found a new home in the former Reichsgericht. In 1953 the Leipzig Theater Academy (since 1967 "Hans Otto") was founded after the German Theater Institute, which was established in Weimar in 1947, moved to the Leipzig Music Quarter.

In 1955, the arching of the Pleißemühlgraben , begun in 1951, was completed. In 1968 the rebuildable ruins of the second Gewandhaus were demolished, as were some of the partly well-preserved residential buildings in Ferdinand-Rhode-Straße. In the Schwägrichenstrasse a guest house of the Council of Ministers of the GDR was built by 1969 , which was used especially during trade fairs and where the billion-euro loan for the GDR was negotiated with Franz Josef Strauss in 1983 .

From 1969, five 11-storey apartment blocks, contradicting its earlier character, were built in the middle of the music district using prefabricated panels. In each of these cases, 4 to 5 of the original plots from the time of construction were built over with monotonous so-called “residential slabs” by the architect Wolfgang Scheibe (1928–2006). To make room for this, some of the relatively well-preserved and partly inhabited old buildings were demolished. In the Pestalozzistraße (today Telemannstraße) a primary school ( Polytechnische Oberschule Clara Zetkin ) was built in 1972 and in 1973 a high school ( Extended Thomas Oberschule ), which the Thomaner also attended.

In 1978, in the north-west corner of the Musikviertel, three 16-storey high-rise buildings of the type PH 16 were built on Karl-Tauchnitz-Straße and Wächterstraße , popularly known as "the three equals". Regardless of the local characteristics, a total of six large plots of war-torn villas (four by Max Pommer , one each by Arwed Roßbach and Carl Weichardt / Bruno Eelbo ) were built over.

After 1990

The first efforts to open the Pleißemühlgraben began as early as 1990 with the “Pleiße to Light” campaign. In 1998 the first completely completed opening section between Mahlmannstrasse and Braustrasse was handed over; In 2002 the section in front of the Reichsgericht followed by the area behind the prefabricated building on Grassistraße and finally in 2008 the Mendelssohn-Ufer between Mozartstraße and Beethovenstraße. In 2000, the light steles, glowing blue at night, were erected along the opened section of the river in front of the Imperial Court building and the wave-shaped Fritz von Harck facility was handed over.

In 1992 the "Hans Otto" theater school merged with the music school to form the "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" college of music and theater , and the US consulate general in the Amerika-Haus in Wilhelm-Seyfferth-Strasse was reopened. In 1995, the Saxon Academy of Sciences in Leipzig moved to a villa in Karl-Tauchnitz-Straße and the former literature institute "Johannes R. Becher" was reorganized as the German Literature Institute Leipzig with connection to the university .

In 1998 the Galerie für Zeitgenössische Kunst Leipzig opened in the Herfurthschen Villa in Karl-Tauchnitz-Straße, which was supplemented in 2004 by an exhibition pavilion. From 2000 to 2002, the University of Leipzig built the new building for the humanities and social sciences on the site of the former second Gewandhaus . When it was completed, the completely rebuilt and expanded university library was handed over. In the same year, the Federal Administrative Court began its work in the Reich Court building, which had previously been extensively renovated over several years.

Numerous villas and town houses were extensively renovated in the entire music district after 1990 . A highlight and a certain conclusion was the restoration of the residential palace built by Arwed Roßbach in Beethovenstraße 8 in 2004/2005 . But the prefabricated buildings were also modernized. Because of their favorable location to the city and the park, they have an occupancy rate that is far above average for prefabricated buildings. In recent years, numerous new residential and commercial buildings, some of which have a very individual style, have been built in the music district. On the site of the former guest house of the Council of Ministers , a high-quality new residential complex is currently being built next to the GDR building, which has since fallen into ruin.

After the Thomas School in Leipzig moved out of the building on Telemannstraße in 2000 and had been vacant for a few years, the buildings were demolished except for the gymnasium and a new high school complex was built, which went into operation in the 2017/2018 school year under the name Gymnasium Telemannstraße . In 2018 the school was named Gerda-Taro-Schule - Gymnasium of the City of Leipzig .

The guest house by the architects Wolfgang Scheibe and Frieder Gebhardt , which had been vacant for decades , has already been the subject of media reports several times because of its condition and various failed usage concepts. A solution for the listed ruin of the guest house as a prime example of GDR modern architecture is currently not in sight.

On the music history in the quarter

The first Mendelssohn monument from 1892 based on a design by Werner Stein

In the music district, music history has been written for decades since the opening of the New Gewandhaus (1884) and the conservatory (1887). Cities in northern and central Germany (Berlin, Dresden, Leipzig) emerged around 1830 as centers of a new musical style ( Romanticism ). Until then, the Viennese classical music ( Haydn , Mozart , Beethoven ) had been predominant in contemporary musical life. In Leipzig, the romanticism was prepared by Robert Schumann and Clara Schumann , and Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy developed the so-called "Leipzig School" in music. From a musical history point of view, the construction time of the building falls almost exactly in the middle of the Romantic era in music - the heyday of High Romanticism. The Leipzig music tradition founded by Mendelssohn in the previous buildings in the city center (between Universitätsstrasse and Neumarkt) has been continued in the new buildings in the music district since the mid-1880s. The two music institutions in close proximity to one another - as before at the old location - enabled a mutually beneficial combination of professional training and musical practice, as Mendelssohn had dictated as a maxim.

In front of the main entrance of the Gewandhaus, the Mendelssohn memorial , which the Nazis had erected on September 9th and 10th , stood in recognition of his services to music since 1892 . November 1936 in a night-and-fog operation. It bore the inscription on the front (east side) of the granite base: " Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy ". On the side facing the Gewandhaus entrance (west side): “ Noble things only tell the language of music ”. A portrait stele by the sculptor Walter Arnold (1909–1979) stands just a few meters away from the old site of the first monument . In 1947 the second Mendelssohn memorial was unveiled on the front of the ruins of the Gewandhaus on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the composer's death. This has been implemented several times over the years and roughly returned to its old location in 2006. Today, however, the Mendelssohn bust looks at the former temple of the Muses, which no longer exists. In 2008 a replica of the first memorial by Werner Stein (1855–1930) was made and set up opposite the main portal (Mendelssohn portal) of Leipzig's St. Thomas Church. The monument faces south towards the old location in the music district, which is about a kilometer away.

Arthur Nikisch in 1901, Gewandhaus Kapellmeister from 1895 to 1921

From the Old Gewandhaus the motto on which was loft from the time of the Great Concert adopted the now the triangular pediment ( tympanum ed) the new house:

RES SEVERA [EST] VERUM GAUDIUM - The serious business is a real joy .

The first Gewandhaus Kapellmeister at the New Concerthaus was Carl Reinecke , a friend of Felix Mendelssohn. He had worked in this capacity at the old house since 1860 and remained in this position at the new one until 1895. A monument to the Gewandhaus Kapellmeister Arthur Nikisch von Hugo Lederer (1871–1940) has stood at the back entrance (staff entrance) of the building since 1930 . It was Nikisch who, in its 26-year era (1895–1921), led the orchestra to world fame as conductor and Gewandhauskapellmeister . In 1918, Arthur Nikisch also established the tradition of New Year's Eve concerts at the second Gewandhaus with the performance of Beethoven's 9th Symphony - a tradition that would later spread worldwide. Arthur Nikisch made great contributions to the establishment of Eastern European composers ( Tschaikowski , Smetana , Dvořák ) in Germany by introducing the people of Leipzig to their music as Kapellmeister at the New Theater (opera house) and at the same time Gewandhauskapellmeister. His successor, Wilhelm Furtwängler , was like Arthur Nikisch in personal union Gewandhauskapellmeister and chief conductor of the Berliner Philharmoniker . Furtwängler's era at the Gewandhaus only lasted from 1922 to 1928. Bruno Walter , who succeeded Furtwängler until 1933, was expelled from the office of Gewandhaus Kapellmeister as a Jew and emigrated to the USA, where he later became chief conductor of the New York Philharmonic . Hermann Abendroth was the last Gewandhaus Kapellmeister at the second Gewandhaus from 1934 until its destruction in 1944.

Until 1944, the venue of the Gewandhaus Orchestra was located in the music district . Some of the most famous conductors of the period between the end of the 19th century and the 1940s also worked at the Gewandhaus as orchestra conductors (Gewandhauskapellmeister). A number of works from world music culture ( Max Bruch , Anton Bruckner , Antonín Dvořák , Edvard Grieg , Max Reger and others) were premiered here. The composers Johannes Brahms , Peter Tschaikowski , Edvard Grieg, Richard Strauss , Paul Hindemith , Igor Stravinski , Hans Pfitzner stood at the conductor's desk themselves to play one of their works. Often these were the first performances in Leipzig or in Germany. From the many musical highlights over the years, some stand out. Arturo Toscanini gave a guest appearance with the New York Philharmonic . The London Philharmonic Orchestra gave a concert with Sir Thomas Beecham conducting. What is remarkable about the two guest performances by the foreign ensembles is that they remained the only exceptions. During the six decades from 1884 to 1944, the house was actually played by the Gewandhaus Orchestra alone. Guest conductors at the second Gewandhaus, on the other hand, appeared more frequently. Among them were as important as Karl Böhm , Fritz Busch , Eugen Jochum , Erich Kleiber , Otto Klemperer and others.

In 1930 the 14-year-old Yehudi Menuhin first stepped onto the Leipzig concert stage here. The list of famous soloists who performed at the second Gewandhaus cannot be approximated for reasons of space. Representing the many musicians, just a few of the most famous names are mentioned:

The ruins of the 2nd Gewandhaus in 1947 - in front of it Mendelssohn's portrait stele by Walter Arnold

Numerous instrumental musicians , soloists and virtuosos , composers and conductors, singers and choirs worked at the second Gewandhaus or had their apprenticeship years as students at the local conservatory . Due to the abundance of names and events, the history of music in the district can only be sketched out. In any case, the demolition and clearing of the ruins of the Gewandhaus in 1968 was an event of great significance. For a long time, the prospect of resurrecting the war-damaged building from the ruins either as a concert hall or a new function as the conservatory hall (Hochschule for music), which was totally destroyed. In the mid-1960s, the city council decided to demolish the building and build the third Gewandhaus on today's Augustusplatz across from the opera house . In this way, what was once the mainstay of musical life in the quarter was finally removed. Karl Zumpe , the then Gewandhaus director (head of the Gewandhaus office), put his impressions in the following words:

“ On March 29th we watched the collapse of the building from the window of our apartment, two weeks later a demolition bullet began removing the remains of the wall. A site of world music culture from 1884 to 1944 was razed to the ground. "

With the construction of the new concert hall in 2001 at the "Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy" University of Music and Theater, there is now, for the first time in decades, an event location for a larger audience (400 seats) in the music district. For comparison, the capacity of the second Gewandhaus: The Great Hall had 1,700 seats for concerts and the Small Hall held 650 listeners for all forms of chamber music . In 2003 a memorial plaque was unveiled for the ruins of the Gewandhaus on the east side (corner of Mozartstrasse) of the Humanities Center of Leipzig University, which were demolished in 1968 . On the board the relief of the second Gewandhaus and some information about the builders, the Gewandhaus Kapellmeister who worked here and the destruction of the house.
