The cellarius , more often Cellerarius , in the German vernacular up to the early modern times mostly cellarer (also called cellar or waiter ), was a profession on the labor yard of a manor or in monasteries . On the Fronhof the shelter Kellerer the Meier .

The cellarius or cellarer had the right to supervise the vineyard as well as other parts of the property and, above all, the storage cellar (s) (lat. Cellarium). The office was thus similar to the court office of cupbearers . The office of cupbearer was, however, occupied exclusively by people from the high nobility, whereas the cellarer did not have to be from the nobility, especially on the small estates and monasteries.

In the early modern period he was, for. B. Württemberg , the bailiff assigned, and was responsible for drawing the income from the domains , sometimes he pulled a taxation. The office was then called Kellnerei or Kellerei .

Some people who are called Kellerer or Keller today have their name due to an ancestor who held this office ( professional name ).
