Mädlerpassage, Covered passageway in central Leipzig, Germany

The Mädlerpassage extends through multiple levels featuring high ceilings, detailed stone carvings, and glass-covered walkways connecting numerous retail establishments.

The passage originated in 1525 when Dr. Heinrich Stromer von Auerbach established a wine bar, leading to the construction of Auerbach's Hof five years later.

The structure incorporates murals depicting the legend of Dr. Faustus, commissioned in 1625 by council member Johann Vetzer for Auerbach's Cellar.

Visitors can access the passage from both Grimmaische Strasse and Neumarkt, exploring various shops, restaurants, and the historical Auerbach's Cellar restaurant.

The 1912 reconstruction introduced a central rotunda with intricate architectural details, making it a principal venue for porcelain, wine, and leather exhibitions.
