Cornelius Gurlitt, Professor of History, describes in this volume from 1896 the older architectural and artistic monuments of the Kingdom of Saxony in the city of Leipzig. The descriptive accounts of the older architectural and artistic monuments of the Kingdom of Saxony were published by the Saxon Ministry of the Interior and the Royal Saxon Antiquities Association in Dresden between 1882 and 1923, and they include comprehensive descriptions of all the antiquities of the region, their history, and their inhabitants. This work is considered the first comprehensive publication on Saxon monument preservation. It describes the churches (St. Nicholas, St. Thomas, St. Paul, St. Bartholomew, St. Peter, St. John, Catholic, among others), monasteries, the university, Pleissenburg, the administrative building, the town hall, the stock exchange, the armory, the scales, the mint, the granary, the St. Thomas and St. Nicholas schools, residential houses, country houses, gardens, and much more.
