Leipsic
The city of books and furs is well provided with
restaurants. Historically the most interesting of
Auerbach’s these is the Auerbach’s Keller, which
Keller, 2 Grim- was one of Goethe’s haunts when he
maischestrasse was a student at Leipsic, and which he
uses as a background in his Faust , for the scene in
which the devil draws various wines from a wooden
table. The cellar, which is a wine restaurant, is
decorated with mural paintings of the legend on
which Faust was based. As these were painted in
the sixteenth century, and Goethe was a student in
Leipsic in the eighteenth century, it is more than
probable that these paintings first suggested to him
his great work.
A restaurant which is also in Grimmaischestrasse,
and has a reputation for good cookery, is Steinmann’s,
