Gohliser Schlösschen

In Leipzig's northern district of Gohlis, in Menckestrasse, is the Gohliser Schlösschen, a mansion built by F. Seltendorff in 1755-56 for C. Richter, a Leipzig councilor. In the Great Hall is a ceiling painting, "The Life of Psyche", by A. F. Oeser (1779).

A little way north, at Menckestrasse 42, can be seen the last surviving cottage from the old village of Gohlis. The composer Schiller lived in this little house in 1785 and composed his "Ode to Joy" here.
