experience history

When in 1525, the renowned physician and philosopher Dr. Heinrich Stromer von Auerbach (1482-1542) began serving wine to students in the wine cellar of his house on Grimmaische Gasse, the extraordinary success story of Auerbach's Keller began. Since then, many different hosts have turned our establishment into what it has always been and still is today: a globally renowned place of conviviality in Leipzig!

The Helena and Anton Mädler salons offer a rather romantic and intimate ambiance. Here, smaller groups especially enjoy being pampered culinary-wise, by candlelight, at a festively set table. Wedding parties also love to celebrate in these salons in order to keep this special occasion as an unforgettable memory.

In the entrance area to the Great Cellar, you will find our souvenir shop and the event office. Here, you can book guided tours and reserve tables, as well as pick up your event tickets or purchase vouchers. Many offers can also be found in our online shop.
