Unusual meetings in Stuttgart

At eye level with Stuttgart's hillside vineyards - you can enjoy this panorama view from the meeting room on the 9th floor of the station tower. The room can seat up to 70 people theatre-style. In addition, you can use the room on the 3rd floor for a get-together.
Delegates can enjoy different views again from Römerkastell. Built in 1904 by King William as a barracks for the dragoon guards, it is now home to one of southern Germany's biggest movie, music and media centres. Situated over the vineyards of Bad Cannstatt it offers beautiful views of the Neckar valley. The event hall offers space for up to 850 people in theatre-style seating. And there's a courtyard for open-air events.

Cider house as a meeting location

What about a cider house as the venue of your next meeting? Alte Kelterei Heil, where thousands of bottles left the production line until 1998, now offers a meeting room for up to 150 people and several smaller function rooms.

The wooden floors and cider tables create a rugged, cosy atmosphere. In autumn you can even get a taste of cider making: apples are stored in the courtyard and in the air there is a faint whiff of fermenting apple juice.
Catering will be provided according to your wishes and after your meeting you can look forward to an exciting tour of the cider house.
