With a banner, students demonstrate on June 20, 1968 against the demolition of the Leipzig University Church of St. Pauli and demand its reconstruction. A self-built trigger mechanism caused the banner, which was mounted in Leipzig’s Congress Hall at the Zoo, to unfurl during the final concert of the III. International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition (Photo: W. Gerhard Heyde).
