Gasthaus Barthels Hof

Barthels Hof Leipzig

ABOVE: Barthels Hof was built in 1871 and renovated in 1996. The Renaissance façade was added in 1872, but it's older than the building behind it: According to Denkmal-Leipzig.de, the façade was taken from a structure dating back to 1523 and is "the oldest fragment of a Leipzig bourgeois building façade."

By Durant Imboden

Gasthaus Barthels Hof is a restaurant-tavern in Barthels Hof, the oldest shopping arcade in Leipzig. From just beyond the restaurant's entrance on Hainstrasse, a passage leads to Leipzig's historic Market Square. The passage and its courtyard were once used for merchants' trade or sample fairs, which were a staple of Leipzig commercial life in the 19th Century.

The Gasthaus has several dining rooms, and you can drink or dine in the paved courtyard in nice weather. The well-prepared dishes include stick-to-the-ribs Saxon cuisine, pasta specialties, salads, and other options.
