Leipzig Audio Tour: Echoes of Legacy on the Academic Mile

A secret web of revolution and renaissance pulses beneath Leipzig's cobblestones, echoing with the footsteps of artists, rebels, and explorers few ever notice.

This self-guided audio adventure unlocks the city’s hidden corridors and forgotten tales, guiding you from the historic halls of E. A. Seemann to mysterious exhibits at the Museum of Ethnology and beyond. Each stop reveals the stories most travelers miss—if you dare to look deeper.

Which scandal at Roßplatz once threatened to unravel Leipzig’s political future? Who vanished among the artifacts at the museum, leaving only whispers in the records? What strange obsession ties together a mapmaker and a secret studio above a publisher’s shop?

Stride through centuries of uproar, artistry, and shadow, peeling back the past in alleys and galleries where history breathes around every corner. Feel Leipzig come alive in ways most eyes never see.
