Leipzig, which gained city status in 1165, has been an important commercial center of Germany since it is at the junction of the ancient Via Regia and Via Imperii roads, two important trade routes, starting from the Roman-Germanic Empire period. Leipzig, which is also an important center of education, music, culture and book printing in Europe, lost its cultural and economic importance in the world after the Second World War, although it was the important urban center of communist East Germany, the German Democratic Republic. In the late 1980s, Leipzig played an important role in the overthrow of communist regimes in central and eastern Europe. In the city, which witnessed significant changes after the unification of Germany, important communist-era buildings were demolished and other historical buildings were restored.
