Everything about Auerbachs Keller totally explained
Auerbachs Keller (
Auerbach's Cellar in English) is the best known and second oldest restaurant in
Leipzig. Auerbachs Keller most notably appeared in
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's play
Faust I, as the first place
Mephistopheles takes Faust on their travels.
Auerbach's Cellar is located below the
Mädlerpassage at Grimmaische Straße 2 in Leipzig's historical district near the market. It has four historical dining rooms; the
Fasskeller (
Barrel Cellar),
Lutherzimmer (
Luther Room),
Goethezimmer (
Goethe Room),
Alt-Leipzig (
Old-Leipzig), and since
1913 the
Großer Keller (
Large Cellar). There is also the
Mephisto Bar on the floor above available for drinks.
The restaurant owes much of its fame to
Goethe who frequented Auerbach's Cellar as a student and called it his favorite
wine bar. According to legend, the
Alchemist Dr. Johann Georg Faust once rode a wine barrel from the cellar to the street at Auerbach's Cellar, and that only with the help of the
Devil could he have accomplished this feat. This legend is most likely what led Goethe to add the scene Auerbach's Cellar to his play Faust I.
