Stadtgeschichtliches Museum Leipzig

Coffee and chat

In the middle of the old Leipzig and only a few metres from the Altes Rathaus is Germany’s oldest coffee house. Coffee, Saxony’s favourite drink, has been served here since 1711. The extraordinary sculpture on the house front is the origin of the name “Zum Arabischen Coffe Baum,” meaning “Arab Coffee Tree.”

The seats of famous regulars, such as Robert Schumann, can still be seen in the historic bar on the ground floor. The restaurant on the first floor features reminders of famous people who have visited.

The second floor is home to the Cafe Francais and the Vienna Cafe. The Arab Coffee Shop puts visitors in the right mood for a visit to the museum.
