Leipziger Innenstadt
Alumni Meeting
This is why alumni from all over the world are invited to join in the 600th anniversary celebrations of their alma mater Lipsiensis.
The first Inter-Faculty Alumni Meeting will be opened by the anniversary patron, Dr. Hans-Dietrich Genscher, former German Foreign Minister and an alumnus of the Law Faculty, together with the vice-chancellor.
The former graduates will be able to trace the 600-year history of Universität Leipzig through guided tours of the Bibliotheca Albertina, the University Archive and the University Museums. Needless to say, all alumni are welcome to visit their former faculties and residences. Meals in the University canteen and receptions on the Friday and Saturday evenings will also help to take them back to their student days. In addition, former graduates have a chance to "rediscover" the University and city during the "campus 2009" science fair which will be taking place simultaneously, as part of the Leipzig City Festival.

Altes Rathaus
Presentation of the 10 Euro commemorative coin and stamp
Round the smooth edge of the coin will be inscribed the motto of the alma mater Lipsiensis: "Aus Tradition Grenzen überschreiten" ("Crossing boundaries through tradition"). The coin is made in 18 gram sterling silver. The picture side of the coin illustrates six hundred years of history - from the founding of the University in 1409 to the present day. This is depicted by the University seal, the portrait of the polymath Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and the new University building on Augustusplatz.
The special stamp shows the three-story Classicist Augusteum which was built from 1831 to plans by Albert Geutebrück after a drawing by Karl Friedrich Schinkel, and which, besides an assembly hall, had nine lecture halls and laboratories.
Entry by invitation only.
