Auerbachs Keller is the most renowned and second oldest restaurant in Leipzig, established in the 16th century.

Located at Grimmaische Straße 2–4, under the Mädler Passage, this venue features historical wine cellars and accommodates up to 600 guests in its main hall. The name comes from its founder, Dr. Heinrich Stromer, who constructed it in 1530.
