Madlerpassage and Auerbachs Keller

It began with a simple wine bar in 1525. A century later, the Madlerpassage was expanded with the construction of an exhibition hall. Today, visitors to the Madlerpassage and Auerbachs Keller discover one of the world’s most distinctive venues for shopping and dining. The expansive cellar features a number of restaurants, where guests can enjoy both traditional German and international meals. The wine bar continues to use the vaults originally constructed in the sixteenth century. Over the past century, the passageway and the rotunda have displayed wines, leather goods and porcelain as part of the city’s trade fairs. Today, shops in the Madlerpassage represent many of the world’s leading luxury brands.
