The signposting system and the acoustic guide system of the Leipziger Notenspur

Leipzig has a worldwide unique density of originally preserved places of work of famous composers and musicians. The aim of the Leipziger Notenspur initiative is to bring this musical cultural heritage to life by combining city exploration with a musical experience. The Leipziger Notenspur music route connects the most important original sites in the centre of the city over a distance of five kilometres. It encircles composers' houses and performance venues, especially from the Baroque and Romantic eras. The individual guidance of visitors on the music trail is provided by the path and audio guidance system. The signage system consists of curved ground-level stainless steel inlays along the route and information panels at the stations. Since music is best accessed through an auditory experience, it is complemented by an acoustic guide system. Audio examples, stories and sound oases awaken the joy of music. The sound logo, as an acoustic identification mark, is to be incorporated into these listening experiences as a characteristic component, in addition to other media uses.

The opening of the Leipziger Notenspur music route will take place on 12.05.2012 under the motto "Leipziger Notenspur. Auftakt 12.05.12. Musik bewegt die Stadt." (“Leipzig Music Trail. Prelude 12.05.12. Music moves the City.”) will take place within the framework of a musical citizens' festival.
