Folklore / Culture

the place where beer used to be stored in the 18th century has now been turned into the epicenter of culture for the people of Gera.

The foundation “Verein zur Erhaltung der Geraer Höhler e.v.” has been organizing the event „Höhler Biernale“on a regular basis since 2003.
The former deposit in the underground maze of the town of Gera – a widely ramified system of allies with round arches, cross connections and nooks and crannies – now unfolds its archaic beauty underneath the shopping malls. 


This is where local, national and international artists install their art in the stony “passe-partouts”. The artistic objects are exhibited to the spectators in a solitary surrounding, beyond the urban jungle and the shopping frenzy. Every two years internationally recognized artists present their work in the historic cave underneath the town of Gera.

Cultural arrangement of City Partner Hotel Gewürzmühle Gera

During your culture trip we recommend the historical Höhler in Gera as well as our local Cabaret “Fettnäpfchen” for a good laugh.

The City Partner Servicehotel Gewürzmühle Gera will provide you with a small bottle of frizz as well as fresh fruit in your room upon your arrival. To begin your short trip, we suggest a visit to the “Geraer Höhler” – a mesmerizing underworld. The town underneath the historical town center with its maze of allies and caves, hollowing out the overground areal, is a unique attraction in Gera, not only beca, green use of its expanse but also because of its conservation status. Yellow Sulphur, bright blue azure and green malachite – in short: an immense colour spectacle – is waiting for you in the exhibition of the Natural History Museum.

Enjoy a delicious 3-course dinner in our restaurant (only Friday or Sunday).
