Bach's grave (Leipzig)

Germany / Sachsen / Leipzig / Thomaskirchhof, 18
Johann Sebastian Bach died in 1750 and was originally buried at Old St. John's Cemetery in Leipzig. His grave went unmarked for nearly 150 years. In 1894 his coffin was finally found and moved to a vault in St. John's Church. This building was destroyed by Allied bombing during World War II, so in 1950 Bach's remains were taken to their present grave at Leipzig's Church of St. Thomas.
The place is located in St. Thomas Church
