Leipzig, Bosehaus, Bach-Museum Leipzig ist um eine Sehenswürdigkeit reicher: Unmittelbar gegenüber der Thomaskirche , in der Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) 37 Jahre als Thomaskantor wirkte, öffnete am 21. März 1985, anlässlich des 300.Geburtstages des Kaufmanns und Kunstmäzens Georg Friedrich Bose nach umfangreicher Rekonstruktion als Bach-Gedenkstätte seine Pforten. Die Familien Bach und Bose waren eng befreundet, oft musizierten die Bachs bei ihren Gastgebern. Für die Tochter Boses schrieb der Thomaskontor eine Hochzeitskantete, die seinerzeit im Sommersaal des Bosehauses (siehe 313N) uraufgeführt wurde. In dem Haus, das Zentrum der Bachpflege in der DDR ist, sind auf 170 Quadratmeter Ausstellungsfläche, Dokumente, Handschriften, Musikinstrumente und andere Axponate zu sehen. Sie geben Einblick in das Leben und Wirken Bachs und über seine Zeit. Reporter: Gahlbeck .1985-0325-309N-copyright: ADN-Zentralbild DDR-siehe auch 310-313N
context_page_description: The Bosehaus is a historic house in the Thomaskirchhof, Leipzig, Germany. The building is of 16th century origin, but was updated in baroque style by Georg Heinrich Bose. It currently houses the Bach-Archiv Leipzig and its Bach Museum along with the Neue Bachgesellschaft.
  The building was known to Johann Sebastian Bach and it was decided in the 1980s that it would be an appropriate site for a Bach Museum.
  The Bosehaus was restored from 2008 to 2010 to comply with the latest safety requirements for archives, and was opened again on 20 March 2010 by the President of Germany, Horst Köhler. The President stressed the importance of avoiding the accidents which had befallen archives such as the Duchess Anna Amalia Library.
