Beautifully preserved passages to linger.

The most beautiful passage in Leipzig, with the Meißner Glockenspiel, and Auerbachs Keller.

Every hour on the hour, the carillon of Meissen porcelain can be heard playing a classical piece or a classical folk song. It was built in the rotunda of the Mädlerpassage in the years 1969-1970.

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.

And the Mädler villa is located in Hans-Driesch-Str.
