Eine hübsche Säule

Die Nikolaisäule und die Kirche ⛪️ hat uns sehr gut gefallen 😃 👌

Bei meinem Besuch der Stadt Leipzig waren wir auch an der Nikolaikirche und dem sehenswerten Platz. Die markante Säule hebt sich gut hervor und soll an die "Wende" erinnern. Wir hatten auch noch Zeit genug um im Cafe daneben einen Kaffee zu trinken.
