🇩🇪 Leipzig has an old restaurant with a history of more than 500 years, which has been open since 1525. Because the earliest opening was for wine, although it is now a restaurant, the name is still Auerbach's Keller. 🍴 This restaurant is said to be the favorite place for the famous literary Goethe. In terms of the present, Goethe was supposed to be a standard "rich second generation". He came to Leipzig from Frankfurt at 16 when his father asked him to study law, but he didn't like law, he liked literature. It is said that Goethe dropped out of school after only one law class, and then used the money to study literature. In this tavern, Goethe first heard the story of Fushide and was deeply fascinated. Later, he produced the famous opera Faust, which tells us that... no matter what age, it is important to have a rich father. Faust is more known for his work, and this tavern is famous for Faust. 👹 Faust sold his soul to the devil, so there was infinite mysterious power. At that time, a few drinking students bet that whoever could bring up the big barrel in the cellar would win money. Faust asked for the devil's help, and finally he flew out of the cellar on a wooden barrel. The devil helped him, but finally ate Faust's soul when he died. 🗿 There are still many Faust-related works in the restaurant, and there are sculptures of Faust and the Devil at the entrance of the restaurant. 🦶 Remember to touch his left foot when passing by, it is said that this will bring good luck. 🍗 The main dishes provided here are traditional dishes in Saxony, which taste quite good. In its current reputation, the price is OK, and the per capita consumption is almost 20 euros. 🥔 In Saxony traditional foods, there is one of the most popular Dongdong called "Potato dumplings (Potato dumplings)". But from the shape, it is obviously a potato ball, and there is no filling inside, the taste is very Q-pop... In summary, it should be called "potato glutinous rice dough." 📍 Detailed address: Auerbachs Keller Leipzig GmbH, Mädler Passage, Grimmaische Strasse 2-4, D-04109 Leipzig💰 Per capita consumption: 20 euros 🍲 Dishes recommended: bacon platter, beef roll with potato dumplings 🕙 Business hours: 12:00 ~ 0:00, rest on December 24 📝 Note: At present, only takeaway is accepted
