Rats...keller

Every German town has one: the restaurant within the town hall.

  2. Interesting. Sounds like very friendly town halls. Ours are strictly business — and look ugly to boot.

    Love the long-tailed R.

  6. So, what does Rats keller translate into: rats' cellar? Or is it some guy;s name?

  7. I don't think there is a Ratskeller in Mainz - but since we have a really really ugly Rathaus ... nobody is going to miss the Ratskeller I suppose ...

  10. Thanks for the comments.

    Hilda: Germany has the odd ugly town hall, too, but, at least, they usually have the restaurant.

    Joan Elizabeth: I was in there, but there were no rats on the floor, nor on the menu. Perhaps, something got lost in translation.

    Petra Mafalda: Obrigado.

    Caçador: Yes, but rather quiet.

    Catarina: Gracias.

    EG Wow: Its not a guy's name, but I am not sure of the full etymology. It is obviously the same rat as in Rathaus (town hall), raten (to give advice) and Betriebsrat (works council).

    Martina: I would have guessed an old town like Mainz would certainly have a Ratskeller. It looks like your neighbours in Wiesbaden have one.

    Eric Larouche: Merci.

    Sandra: Thanks.
