Bayreuth Catacombs: A fascinating journey beneath the city
On October 23, 2026, the Bayreuth Catacombs Tour at Maisel & Friends leads into a mysterious world of historic rock tunnels, brewing history, and dynamic city history. Beneath the streets of Bayreuth, an extraordinary discovery experience unfolds, impressively connecting cultural heritage and Franconian beer tradition.
Historic Cellars with a Mysterious Atmosphere
Many steps lead down into a vast sandstone labyrinth, whose corridors were probably created between the 15th and 19th centuries. Originally shaped by the extraction of ores, the underground facilities were later expanded and primarily used for storage. The constantly cool temperatures made the cellars an ideal place for keeping beer.
Tangible Bayreuth City and Beer History
During the city tour, the close connection between the brewing craft and the development of Bayreuth comes to life. The guide tells stories of communal breweries, historic storage sites, and the significance of the cellar facilities for local beer culture. Thus, the tour becomes a cultural enrichment for everyone who wants to discover Bayreuth beyond the classic attractions.
Memorial Site of City History
The catacombs also reflect formative chapters of more recent history. During the bombing raids on Bayreuth in April 1945, people sought refuge in the underground facilities. The narrow corridors still convey a direct impression of the oppressive atmosphere of that time and make local history experienceable in a special way.
Practical Tips for the Discovery Experience
The tour lasts about 60 minutes and is complemented by a tasting. The catacombs have a consistent temperature of about 10 degrees Celsius throughout the year. Warm clothing and sturdy footwear are therefore also part of the appropriate equipment in summer. The areas of the tour are not accessible for people with disabilities. The public tour can only be booked with an online ticket.
