La propriété — Auerbachs Keller
Auerbachs Keller sits in Plauen's town centre as a practical, no-fuss base with a traditional German tavern downstairs. The lobby feels like a modest hotel from the 1990s: clean carpet, a reception desk with brochures, and the faint smell of beer from the Keller restaurant. It suits travellers who want a central location and solid 3-star comfort without paying for frills.
Chroniques de Plauen
Plauen grew around a 12th-century castle and became a major textile centre after the invention of the sewing machine boosted its lace industry. The city was heavily bombed in World War II, losing two-thirds of its buildings, and was rebuilt in functional GDR style during East German times. Today, its old town mixes restored medieval churches, post-war plattenbau blocks, and a lively pedestrianised Hauptstrasse. The city is best known for Plauen lace (Spitze), still produced locally, and a quiet, resilient identity as a Saxon manufacturing hub.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Auerbachs Keller, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the second floor overlooking the courtyard at the back of the building. These rooms are quieter and have better natural light than street-facing ones.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid first-floor rooms facing Theaterstraße: street noise from traffic and pedestrians is loudest here, especially near the entrance and lift.
Best views
Theatre Street view gives you a glimpse of Plauen's classic architecture, but the courtyard view is calmer and greener. No grand vistas, but the courtyard is the better bet.
Quietest floors
Second and third floors are quieter, particularly rooms away from the lift and facing the courtyard.
🔊 Noise notes
Theaterstraße is a busy town-centre road with foot traffic and vehicles. The lift is small and audible from adjacent rooms. No bar or restaurant noise in the data, but the street is the main disturbance.
Insider tips
1. Use Parkhaus Am Rathaus for parking (€10/day, 300 m walk) — reserve online if possible. 2. If you need accessible bathroom facilities, confirm with the hotel ahead: standard rooms don’t have them, and the lift is small.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field

Principales attractions à Plauen
💡 Start at the footbridge near the viaduct for the best view of both the bridge and river; take the southern section for quieter stretches with wildflowers in spring.
💡 Walk to the base at the Elster River for the best upward angle photos; sunset light hits the red brick beautifully.
💡 The lace collection on the second floor is world-class but often skipped; ask staff to see the rotating textile display in the basement.
💡 Go on a clear weekday morning around 10am to avoid school groups; the bell rings on the hour, so time your descent.
💡 Book online in summer as tours sell out; wear sturdy shoes—the cave floor is damp and uneven, and bring a light jacket as it stays 10°C year-round.
