Guided walk through old Esslingen on Saturday, 27 October 2018

Dear members and guests,

On Saturday, October 27, we offer a guided walk through old Esslingen focusing on the 13th Century, when Esslingen was a booming town which simultaneously built 4 large churches, the town wall, the Neckar bridges and many beautiful half-timbered houses, including the oldest half-timbered houses in Germany. We will take a leisurely stroll through Esslingen and learn about all these landmarks. A real highlight is the "Altes Rathaus", a beautiful half-timbered building with a Renaissance facade containing a fabulous astronomical clock. Meeting time 14.45 pm on the marketplace next to the tourist info center, on the north side of the Stadtkirche (church with two towers). The tour will be in English and last about two hours. The tour will end around 17.00 pm at the Weinkeller Einhorn, Heugasse 17, (Tel:0711-353590) where we will enjoy a light meal and local Esslingen wines. Come and join us!
