Leipzig: Mendelssohn House Entry Ticket

Visit the Mendelssohn House in Leipzig, the only remaining residence of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy. Explore interactive exhibits and learn about the famous composer, his family and his legacy.
Step into the world of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy at the Mendelssohn House in Leipzig. Visit the only surviving private residence of the world-renowned composer, located just a short walk from Leipzig’s city center.

Explore the music, the people, and the stories behind one of the most brilliant minds in classical music. Discover the historical bel étage, which recreates the last home of Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, who lived here from 1845 until his death in 1847. Lovingly restored and richly furnished, the rooms transport you to the heart of 19th-century Leipzig.

Visit his music salon, admire personal items, sketches, and manuscripts, and feel the presence of the composer in the very place where he created some of his greatest works, including the famous oratorio Elijah.

Head to the Effektorium on the ground floor for an extraordinary, interactive experience for all ages. Take the conductor’s baton and lead a digital orchestra. Choose your instruments, set the tempo, explore acoustics, and discover how music was brought to life in Mendelssohn’s era. It’s a must for children, music lovers, and tech-savvy visitors alike.

Upstairs, the exhibition expands to honor other musical legacies closely connected to Mendelssohn. Discover the fascinating life of Fanny Hensel, Mendelssohn’s sister, a gifted composer and pianist whose influence is often overlooked. Explore the contribution of Kurt Masur, long-time Gewandhaus conductor and co-founder of the museum, whose legacy continues through the International Kurt Masur Institute, housed in the same building since 2016.

The Mendelssohn House is not just a museum—it’s a living tribute to an artistic era. Its authentic, yet modern exhibitions, the historical garden and interactive spaces make it a perfect destination for families, students, musicians, and anyone interested in European musical heritage.
