Saints Bridge connects Moschelesstraße with Am Elsterwehr street in Leipzig's Bachviertel neighbourhood in the Zentrum-West district.
[4] The story is as follows: After praying to God for children a merchant couple had twins which they named Maria and Katharina with the mother dying soon after in child birth.
Five years later, the sisters would meet again and upon hearing of Marias brutal conditions in the convent Katharina decided to help her escape which succeeded.
Thus, Katharina was put on trial in her twin sister's place but rather than reveal the truth ,out of love, she took upon herself the sentence for a crime she hadn't committed and was given the death penalty.
Soon the story of sisterly love was praised across the city forcing the monastery to award them an honorable burial and the two were spoken of as saints, hence the name of the bridge.
