The property was built between 1530 and 1911 with the building complex Auerbachs Hof. On January 1, 1911, Auerbach's farm and a neighboring property were sold to the suitcase and leather manufacturer Anton Mädler (1864–1925). He had all the buildings demolished and, from 1912 to 1914, the Mädler-Passage exhibition hall built according to plans by the architect Theodor Kösser.
The result was a five-story passage house with a 142 m long, four-story passage. The arched portal at the entrance to the passage is flanked by two life-size female garments that carry grapes and a vase. They refer to the purpose of the house as a wine cellar (Auerbach's cellar) and exhibition house in the porcelain, ceramics and earthenware sectors (exhibition area 5,700 m²). A porcelain bell game made of Meissen porcelain has been in the rotunda of the passage since 1969. Until 1989 the Mädler Passage was used as a trade fair building.
