Located in the Sachsenhausen , the Dauth-Schneider is a traditional tavern that has been open for over 150 years where you can taste the typical local apple cider. The place is frequented both by the inhabitants of the city and by many tourists, but it is still quiet. Under a cobbled street, in the cellar of this tavern, the apple wine ( Apfelwein ) is still pressed each fall and the fruity preparation is served in traditional style with plates of sausages, fried potatoes and sauerkraut.

Just a few steps further on in the traditional hostelries of old Sachsenhausen (e.g. Dauth-Schneider, Fichtekränzi and Atschel) cider is served by the “bembel” – an earthenware cider jug. And if you want a cider shandy, you’ll have to settle for mineral water in your traditional lozenge-cut “Geripptes” glass. Mixing with lemonade is a complete no-no in this cider Bermuda triangle.
