The Museum Zum Arabischen Coffe Baum is a partner of the Leipzig Card / Leipzig Regio Card. The benefits are described under "Good to Know / Price Information".
A few meters from the Old Town Hall, in the heart of Leipzig's old town, is the Coffee Baum, one of the oldest coffee houses in Europe.
Coffee, Saxony's favorite beverage, has been served here since 1711. The portal sculpture on the facade gave the house its name, "Zum Arabischen Coffe Baum" (At the Arabian Coffee Tree)..
In the historic guest rooms you can find the seats of famous regulars such as Robert Schumann and Johann Christoph Gottsched.
Culture and enjoyment have always gone hand in hand at the Coffe Baum. A tour through the 16 historic rooms takes you on a journey through the history of coffee. Learn more about the strict coffee house regulations of the 18th century, the coffee crisis in the GDR, the colonial entanglements of coffee cultivation, and current global trade relations. In the renovated exhibition spaces of this baroque monument, you'll encounter Saxon figures such as Augustus the Strong, Johann Sebastian Bach, and the famous "Gaffeesachsen" (saxon coffee lovers) with their "Bliemchengaffee" (flower-shaped coffee). Melitta Bentz's filter coffee bag is also a symbol of Germany's multifaceted coffee history.
