The Café Zimmermann, or was the coffeehouse of Gottfried Zimmermann in Leipzig which formed the backdrop to the first performances of many of Bach's secular cantatas, e.g. the ''Coffee Cantata'', and instrumental works. In 1723, the year Bach moved to Leipzig, it was largest and best-appointed Kaffeehaus of Leipzig and a centre for the middle classes and gentlemen. While women were forbidden from frequenting coffeehouses, they could attend public concerts at Zimmermann's.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht )〕 The coffeehouse was located at 14 Katharinenstrasse, then the most elegant street of Leipzig, connecting the Brühl to the market place. The name of the street had been taken from the old St. Catherine's Chapel which had been demolished in 1544. In Telemann's and Bach's day only the name of the street remained.〔Leipzig – p. 59, Wolfgang Hocquél, Peter Franke – 1998 "Die Katharinenstraße hat ihren Namen von der mittelalterlichen Katharinen-Kapelle erhalten, die sich einst an der Ostecke Brühl/Katharinenstraße 24 befunden hat und im Zuge der Reformation im Jahre 1544 abgebrochen wurde."〕 The four-and-a-half storey Baroque building was constructed by Doering around 1715. It consisted of two adjoining rooms, one approximately 8 x 10 metres, the other approximately 5.5 x 10 metres. It was destroyed during an air raid on Leipzig in December 1943. 〔 George B. Stauffer, Civic Life and Secular Music Making, Leipzig: a Cosmopolitan Trade Centre in "Music and Society: The Late Baroque Era, From 1680s to 1770" (Englewood Cliffs NJ: Prentice Hall, 1993〕 Zimmermann also ran a coffee garden, as a summer venue. ==Music== From 1720 the cafe hosted the Collegium Musicum founded by Georg Philipp Telemann as a law student in 1702〔Bruce Haynes – ''The eloquent oboe: a history of the hautboy 1640–1760'', p. 364 (2001) "Telemann became director in 1702, and members of the Collegium Musicum he founded in that year supplied many of the musicians. The Collegium Musicum was one of a number of concert series in Leipzig, a city with a large music-loving ()."〕 and later directed by Johann Sebastian Bach between 1729 and 1739. Zimmermann charged the Collegium Musicum no fee for hosting their concerts, nor were the audience charged a fee; Zimmermann's expenses were repaid by sales of coffee.〔Iso Camartin ''Bin ich Europäer?: Eine Tauglichkeitsprüfung'', p. 75 – 2006 "Gottfried Zimmermann war ein Kaffeehausbesitzer, der seine Räumlichkeiten von 1720 bis zu seinem Tod 1741 gern den musikalischen Ensembles der Stadt zur Verfügung stellte. Die Zuhörer bezahlten keinen Eintritt, sie tranken dafür Kaffee."〕 The concerts ended with Zimmermann's death in 1741. A French classical music ensemble named Café Zimmermann is named after this coffeehouse. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Café Zimmermann」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
