What awaits you on our tour:

In the luxurious Mädler Passage, you will breathe the architectural splendor of the turn of the century. An absolute highlight is “Auerbachs Keller”—the city’s second-oldest surviving inn.

For no less than 27 years, Johann Sebastian Bach worked here as the Thomaskantor, leading the famous St. Thomas Boys Choir, which is now over 800 years old.
