The cellar in the Mädler arcade, where Goethe set a scene of Faust, celebrates 500 years; Saxon cooking in vaulted rooms, every day.

The cellar of Faust
Auerbachs Keller is the cellar that Goethe frequented as a student in Leipzig and in which he set a scene of his Faust, with Mephistopheles; the figures of the two guard the staircase of the Mädler arcade, on Grimmaische Straße. The house is now celebrating its 500 years with events lasting months. It has several rooms: the great Keller, the historic wine cellars and the Mephisto bar.
What to order
Traditional Saxon and German cooking in the great Keller, with set menus and à la carte. It is a classic for a special meal or for your first night in Leipzig.
When to go
Monday, Thursday and Sunday from 12:00 to 22:00; Tuesday and Wednesday only from 17:00 to 22:00; Friday and Saturday from 12:00 to 23:00. Book by phone.
