Kellerhaus Restaurant
Kellerhaus Chemnitz
An ancient half-timbered house at the foot of Schlossberg, said to be the city’s oldest restaurant, serving fresh Saxon home cooking and a wide selection of spirits.
Located at the foot of Schloßberg (Castle Hill), the birthplace of Chemnitz, this is one of the city’s oldest houses. Built in the mid-17th century on top of an even older cellar, it stands among a group of restored half-timbered buildings. Dining takes place on three levels, the ground floor, first floor and vaulted cellar, seating about 170 people, plus a beer garden. The focus is freshly prepared Saxon food, with the signature Chemnitz-style braised beef served with apple red cabbage and potato dumplings. Other dishes include egg-battered plaice, seasonal mushrooms in cream with semolina dumplings, and a wide range of spirits. Main courses cost about €10–25, and reservations can be made on OpenTable. About 10 minutes by bus from the city center.
Opening hours
Tuesday–Saturday roughly 11:00–22:00, Sunday from 11:00 (sources vary, so please check the official website)
