Description [EN]

Bayreuth City and Beer History
Descend into the fascinating world of the rock cellars. These tunnels, presumably carved into the sandstone between the 15th and 19th centuries, have the morbid charm of an almost endless crypt - eerily exciting and also quirky... Marvel at a panorama of brewing history and cultural history of the city of Bayreuth. 

Used for Centuries
The tunnels initially emerged through ore mining, were later expanded, and primarily served as storage. In times of war, the facilities were also used as shelter and escape bunkers. Due to the consistently cool temperatures, the cellars were naturally the best place to store the first-class beers of the Bayreuth brewery in the late 19th century. 

Mysterious City Under the City
Gain insight into the underground realm with its exceptional charm and inviting, mysterious atmosphere. Learn how the population retreated here during the bombing raids on the city in April 1945. Immerse yourself in the legendary underworld with the flair of timeless shivers.
