Bach Cities and Bach Places – Actually Here's a Way to Remember Them Easily
Not in a children's book about Johann Sebastian Bach – but in a real biography is very complicated in the beginning. And it seems to be a real chaos: Where Johann Sebastian Bach once lived and where Johann Sebastian once worked. Because trips are mixed therewith residences, genealogy with places where he performed. And so on and so on – nothing is really easy with Johann Sebastian Bach.
9 minutes and you are through, with the life of Johann Sebastian Bach. Plus you don't spoil the pleasant anticipation for the children's book related to the Thomas Cantor, if ... just if you are younger than 10 years.
Easy to Remember: The Number Is 8 or 9 or 10
Everything starts in Eisenach, there he is born. He lived in Ohrdruf from the age of 10. In Lueneburg, he continued to attend school. That's a total of 3 locations.
Now, the time in Thuringia is following: A like Arnstadt, M like Muehlhausen, W like Weimar. That is easy to recall. A M W. It's an additional total of 3, so altogether we now have six Bach places.
In Dornheim Bach had married. It was in his era in Muehlhausen. Plus one is seven. From Weimar, he moved to Koethen and finally, he moved to Leipzig, plus two is a total of nine Bach places.
Just to mention it: He was in Weimar twice. However, one period was so short, that many a Bach biographer doesn't even mention this. That is what we do too.

Those who want to bear one more place in mind decides for Wechmar: There everything began, when the family of the Bachs changed into the world-famous Bach family of musicians. With the great-great-grandfather of Johann Sebastian Bach. Veit Bach. So now here they are, nine that is to say ten Bach cities and Bach places.

Bach City of Eisenach, Thuringia
Number 1 of the "Johann Sebastian Bach Cities": Eisenach. However: Johann Sebastian Bach was not born in Wartburg Castle – here in the picture above – plus he was not born in the Bachhaus – which is the Bach House – too. Indeed he lived in the Bachhaus for almost 10 years. You might wonder why I call them "Johann Sebastian Bach cities", not just Bach cities. The answer is related to the number of Bachs, who made music in and around Thuringia over hundreds of years. So not every Bach city is a "Johann Sebastian Bach city".
Bach City of Ohrdruf, Thuringia
Number 2 of the Johann Sebastian Bach cities: Ohrdruf. Johann Sebastian Bach moved into his oldest brother when he had lost first his mother and next to his father when he was almost 10 years old.

Bach City of Arnstadt, Thuringia
Number 4 of the "Johann Sebastian Bach cities: Arnstadt, Thuringia. After his childhood and his youth the time in Thuringia now follows. You best keep in mind the number 4 for that.

Bach City of Mühlhausen, Thuringia
Number 5 of the "Johann Sebastian Bach cities": Mühlhausen. Here was Bach cantor too, like in Arnstadt, however, this was a short period only.

Bach Place of Dornheim, Thuringia
The number 6, however, it's a Bach place, because it's really just a small community. As a Bach location, it's very much worth a visit. The cantor Johann Sebastian Bach married here during his epoch in Mühlhausen.
Bach City of Weimar, Thuringia
Number 7 of the "Johann Sebastian Bach cities is Weimar. The musician performed music and lived here for almost full nine years. First as a musician, later as a concertmaster. Plus he was composing. None of both guys in the pic above – by the way – is Johann Sebastian Bach.
Bach City of Köthen, Saxony-Anhalt
Number 8 in the list. From here it gets easy, as there are just two locations outside Thuringia left ... in the career of Johann Sebastian Bach. That is first number 7 of the "Johann Sebastian Bach cities and Johann Sebastian Bach places", namely Köthen.
Bach City of Leipzig, Saxony
Number 9 of the "Johann Sebastian Bach cities and location": Leipzig. Here the composer spent 27 years. Here he was Thomas Cantor.
Now you are missing number 10? Okay, I presented a first Bach location on top of all Johann Sebastian Bach locations, that is to say, Bach cities and Bach places. It is Wechmar, that small community in Thuringia. Now it's on you, how deep you want to "dive" into the Bach universe. Actually, if it comes to such a famous, large and exciting family, the cradle – so to speak – of this family counts, even if Johann Sebastian Bach had never been there.

If you want it just a little more detailed, add the Bach place of Dornheim, where Bach married his first wife. If you want to surprise your audience, tell them that there is a total of 33 Bach cities and Bach places, however just for those, who want to read deep, very deep into the subject of Johann Sebastian Bach.
