Goethe’s ‘Fost’ set in Auerbach’s Keller
Goethe’s drama is about the aging Melancholi teacher Heinrich Fost, who sells his soul to become a young man to Devil Mefisto: “Fustian Bargain.”
Fost gets a new enthusiasm for life, but it is not free from the evil of Mefisto. For example, when the Fast Youth Tampering and Plays them, she kills her illegitimate child, is arrested and arrested in jail for the redemption of God.
Mefisto is also for mischief in the scene set in Auerbachs Keller. To bring the fous to “Meera Company,” he connects delicious wine in front of some drinking colleagues before getting out of the basement on a liquor barrel.
For 30 years, actor Hartmut Muller is taking guests through a popular “barrel basement ceremony” tour in the barrel basement of 9 meters (30 ft) restaurant under the ground. As a “barrel seller master”, he guides visitors through the history and vaults of the building.
“In an advanced hour, we then pass through a separate door from this barrel basement, which go back to the kitchen of the witch,” the paper said while describing a small shovel 12 meter underground.
This is the place where guests – such as Goethe’s play – is given a rejuvenating drink.
Dr. Inspired by Fastus Legend
Goethe did not invent his fustian barrel ride; This idea was a magician Dr. The Fastus is derived from the 16th century folk tale, which sells his soul to Satan for special powers.
In the barrel basement, Goethe saw two wooden panels of 1625, with Dr.. The legendary barrel ride of Fostus was depicted. They are said to have tried to maneuver and make fun of the barrels weighing over the liquor basement. He made a condition that he could ride the barrel.
“Goethe was so fascinated by these two wooden panels that he was hanging there that he wrote to us in the drama,” said the paper.
In the 18th century, the restaurant was still purely a wine bar. In those days, the liquor was not bottled up, but was served from the barrel stored in the basement.
Till the 19th century, there was no cooking in Auerbachs Keller, the paper said.
