Mendelssohn-Ufer
On the site of the clinker-clad new building of the Humanities Center of the University of Leipzig, constructed from 1999 to 2002, stood the New Concert Hall, also known as the second Leipzig Gewandhaus, until it was bombed during World War II. Since 1892, the Mendelssohn Monument had stood there but was removed in 1936 by the National Socialist authorities. Taking this into account and honoring the composer Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809–1847), who was significant to Leipzig's musical life, the name was chosen.
The north bank of the Pleißemühlgraben was designed in terraces and fitted with wooden seating elements. If you view the steps as musical staff lines, the seemingly random arrangement of the wooden elements corresponds to the notes of the opening theme of the first movement from Mendelssohn.' role="button">

An der Stelle des von 1999 bis 2002 errichteten klinkerverblendeten Neubaus des Geisteswissenschaftlichen Zentrums[1] der Universität Leipzig befand sich bis zu seiner Bombardierung im Zweiten Weltkrieg das Neue Concerthaus, auch zweites Leipziger Gewandhaus. Davor stand seit 1892 das Mendelssohn-Denkmal, das 1936 von den nationalsozialistischen Machthabern beseitigt wurde. Diesen Umstand berücksichtigend und dem für das Leipziger Musikleben bedeutenden Komponisten Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy (1809–1847) Reverenz erweisend wurde der Name gewählt.
Das Nordufer des Pleißemühlgrabens wurde stufenförmig gestaltet und mit hölzernen Sitzelementen bestückt. Sieht man die Stufen als Notenlinien an, dann entspricht die scheinbar wahllose Anordnung der Holzelemente den Noten des Anfangsthemas des ersten Satzes aus Mend
