Beutau - the unique Winemaker's Suburb

This tour is a walking excursion by an experienced, local and native-English speaking guide Tom, who will show you one of the lesser-known parts of Esslingen. This is a great tour for those returning to Esslingen, and want to see more of this historical city.

  • What was Beutau and what did it have to do with Esslingen’s wine industry? 

  • A tour of lower, middle and upper Beutau areas, indicating the geographical and social status of the residences – several from the 14th and 15th century!

  • Sites of the “Pfleghöfe” – church administrative centers which also made wine

  • The best remains of the Beutau city wall, showing how the area was defended

  • An exterior tour of the “Frauenkirche” – the church of Our Lady and its’ incredible stoneworks

  • An optional visit of the 19th century Jewish Cemetery (must be reserved with the City and not available on Fri/Sat)

​​This walking tour is approximately 90 minutes long and has about 3500 paces with some sloped streets and steps.  We can adjust the pace to meet your needs.
