    It is one of the oldest continuously run coffee houses in Europe. First mention was in 1556.

    Translated by Google •

      The world's oldest surviving coffee house was built around 1500, but only founded in 1694.

      "To the Arabian Coffee Tree" is the full name. But "coffee tree" is easier to remember.

      From 1718 the electoral Saxon court chocolatier was allowed to serve coffee for the first time.

      It was the hangout of famous people. The following people have already been seen sitting in the coffee: Goethe, Lessing, Liszt, Wagner, Schumann, Gellert, Napoleon, etc.
      From 1833 to 1840, Robert Schumann, the founder of the "New Magazine for Music", assembled a group of young artists here, the so-called Brothers of David. After reunification, the house stood empty for seven years and was extensively renovated in 1998.
      The 02.11.1998 was the ceremonial reopening. Since then there has been a café and a restaurant again.

      The "Museum of the Arabic Coffee Tree" is also housed on the 3rd floor and brings the 300-year history of coffee culture back to life.

      BUT:
      unfortunately closed, a new tenant is being sought.
