Dicker Turm for conferences & meetings in Esslingen

The Dicke Turm, Esslingen’s oldest landmark, welcomes you as an impressive conference venue offering panoramic views over the historic Old Town. Experience early medieval history up close at the city’s highest viewpoint and impress your event guests with the venue’s unique atmosphere.

For meetings, conferences and conventions with up to 50 people, the Burgstube offers bright, light-filled rooms. Since October 2025, the beautiful Turmsaal has also been available for events. It accommodates up to 90 guests in banquet seating and up to 160 people in theatre-style seating.

For a supporting programme alongside your business event, take your guests for a walk through the adjacent park or explore the nearby vineyards.

Following extensive renovation, the historic venue reopened in 2021 and was upgraded to meet modern event requirements. Thanks to a lift, the Dicke Turm is wheelchair accessible and is also conveniently accessible by various means of transport. A large public car park is within walking distance.
