Beware candle dinners- lucky it was a small city

Miscellaneous: Actually, you don't really need a map in Leipzig. We managed to burn our map (don't ask how it happened), and did not have any problems even after that accident. The center of the city is quite small and there are some tall buildings you can use for finding the place you are going.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Leipzig is located in the northern part of Germany. During winter, the average temperature is around 2-3C. Make sure you have proper clothes, shoes for snow. Cream is also important because it's dry in Leipzig, especially after the shower.
