Faust, Fables & Fine Wine: The Auerbach’s Cellar
<p>According to legend, Dr. Faust rode out of Auerbach’s wine bar on a barrel. Whether or not this really took place is open to interpretation. What is certain, however, is that the scene in Goethe’s ’Faust’ takes place in the famous wine bar and restaurant in Leipzig, which has been frequently visited ever since. The wine cellar dates back to the 15th century and was enlarged over the following years. But who was Auerbach? And why was this wine bar so popular among students back then? Axel and Aileen take you underground to take a closer look at this legendary place.
