The Bärenkeller ("Bear cellar") is a cave in Königsee-Rottenbach (Thuringia/Germany). In or near the cave various bones of the wild horse, of the Saiga antelope and cave bear as well as cultural items dating between 13th and about 8th millenium BC were found.

Similar Palaeolithic finds were discovered in the nearby caves Wildpferdhöhle, Dachshöhle, Höhlenbäreneckfelsen and Mönchskapelle.
