The city of Leipzig commemorates the Peaceful Revolution in the fall of 1989 with numerous events. The celebrations began with the prayer for peace in St. Nicholas Church, where many people found courage and hope in the midst of uncertain conditions at the time. In the evening, all the city center bells rang out and several light installations lit up the center. On October 9, 1989, at least 70,000 people had demonstrated in Leipzig. This large demonstration is considered decisive on the way to the fall of the Wall a month later. Photo: Hendrik Schmidt/dpa. - Leipzig/Saxony/Germany
