600th birthday celebration: Esslingen's old town hall shines new

The old town hall of Esslingen, an important landmark with a proud 600 years of history, was celebrated with solemn events. Thanks to high investments by the city and the committed work of a support association, the impressive building today shines in new splendor. It not only serves as a conference location for the local council, but is also a popular place for civil marriages and important public events.

At the celebration, which also paid tribute to the 20th anniversary of the Altes Rathaus foundation, prominent speakers emphasized how important this monument is for the city of Esslingen. Mayor Matthias Klopfer described the old town hall as the definitive landmark of the city, which is one of the "most remarkable monuments" in the region, according to the German Foundation for Monument Protection. An overview of the living history and the architectural beauties of the house made the event an impressive experience for the participants. Further details can be found at www.esslinger-zeitung.de .
