It is the home of the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, one of the oldest and most respected orchestras in Germany; Felix Mendelssohn served as its Kapellmeister from 1835 to 1847 and significantly shaped its identity.

Throughout its existence, the Gewandhaus has been central to the development of German musical culture, hosting premieres by composers like Schumann, Mendelssohn, and Wagner.
