Thietmar von Merseburg first reported an urbs Libzi in 1015. The name Leipzig can be translated as city of lime trees from the Sorbian lipa - lime tree. With the founding of the city, the two large church buildings emerged - the Thomaskirche and the St. Nikolaikirche. In 1519, Martin Luther, Andreas Karlstadt and Philipp Melanchthon met the Catholic theologian Johannes Eck at the invitation of the university in the Pleissenburg for a debate that went down in history as the Leipzig Disputation. The fur trade and the further processing of fur semi-finished products for furriers and the manufacture of the associated tools and machines were particularly important for the later development into a trade fair city. As a trading and trade fair city of increasing importance, Leipzig benefited from the wealthy Leipzig merchant class. Between 1631 and 1642 the city was besieged five times, from 1642 to 1650 it was occupied by the Swedes. The Battle of the Nations near Leipzig took place in 1813 as part of the wars of liberation. Leipzig gradually developed into the most important transport hub in Central Germany, which was also reflected in the fact that Leipzig Central Station was built from 1902 to 1915 as one of the largest terminal stations in Europe at the time. In 1989, the Monday demonstrations that started at the Nikolaikirche helped herald the end of the GDR.
