Seagull in the rock cellar
Die Möve im Felsenkeller (in short: The Felsenkeller ) is a pub on Akazienstraße in the Schöneberg district of Berlin .
The pub is a hose bar. A little more than five meters wide, it is 4.30 meters high and about 20 meters long. The interior with wooden panels on the walls dates from the 1920s, the back room is furnished with the furnishings of a former pub in Berlin-Mitte from the 1900s. Frank Jansen characterized it in the Tagesspiegel as “Berlin's pub culture in top form”. The furnishings consist of wooden tables, the audience, according to the Berlin city magazine Zitty, consists of “intelligent-looking Schönebergers”, the travel guide Marco Polo locates “academics around their 30s” there.
In 2007 the rent for the rock cellar was to be increased so that the operation of the restaurant would no longer have been economical. The owners Günter Döring and Michaela Friedrich wanted to sell the interior to New York . It was only through press reports and the efforts of District Mayor Ekkehard Band that the landlord was convinced to withdraw the rent increase.
Regular guests included Max Raabe , Markus Lüpertz and Daniel Brühl . The novel Middlesex , for which Jeffrey Eugenides won a Pulitzer Prize , was created during the author's stay in Schöneberg - also in the back room of the rock cellar. The location itself is mentioned in the book, but is just as easy to recognize in the portrayal of Berlin pub scenes.
