Mendelssohn House is a museum in Leipzig in Saxony, Germany. The composer Felix Mendelssohn lived here from 1845 until his death in 1847; it now contains a collection about the life and work of the composer. Mendelssohn was born in Hamburg in 1809, and in 1811 the family moved to Berlin. He moved to Leipzig in 1835, when he was appointed director of the Gewandhaus Orchestra. In 1841 he left the city to take up the post of court composer to Friedrich Wilhelm IV in Berlin; during his time there he remained guest conductor of the orchestra in Leipzig. He resigned from his posts in Berlin in 1844 and returned to Leipzig; he moved with his family in 1845 to an apartment on the second floor of this building (its address, then Königstraße 5, is now Goldschmidtstraße 12).
