Seminars and company events
The Hotel Gasthof Alte Vogtei takes conferences, training days and company celebrations for up to 110 guests in its largest hall and up to 60 in its historic Rittersaal, with three smaller rooms for breakout groups and bedrooms upstairs. The house stands on the main street of Wolframs-Eschenbach, a small walled town in Middle Franconia, Bavaria.
The hotel states that modern conference equipment is available in every room. Side rooms, foyers and the outdoor area serve for coffee breaks and informal talks before, during and after sessions. A group can therefore run a plenary in the Wolframssaal, split into workshops in the smaller rooms and keep the whole day under one roof, then stay the night. The Badstubn, a small spa in the vaulted cellar with saunas, an infrared cabin, a massage bench and a relaxation room, gives a residential seminar a way to end the day.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, family parties and festivities are a main part of the house's activity. The team advises couples on the menu, the decoration and the running order of the day, and takes on special requests. The Wolframssaal on the ground floor holds up to 110 guests for a wedding dinner, while the Rittersaal on the first floor takes up to 60 for a smaller celebration. Guests can sleep in the hotel the same night.
Rooms and capacities
The Wolframssaal, on the ground floor, is the largest hall, for up to 110 people. The Rittersaal, on the first floor, is the historic hall of the building, for up to 60. The Tafelrunde, also on the first floor and named Artusrunde in some of the hotel's texts, serves for meetings. The Vogtstube and the Tafelzimmer, which form the core of the restaurant, also work for small meetings and private dinners. The hotel does not publish capacities by layout, so confirm the theatre or classroom figures with the team.
Accommodation
The hotel offers three room categories, all for one or two guests: standard rooms, comfort rooms with a balcony or an infrared cabin, and the Minnesänger suites, laid out on two levels with a seating area. Rooms mix historic features with modern fittings and local building materials. Most are barrier-friendly and one is fully wheelchair accessible. A breakfast buffet is served each morning.
Catering
The restaurant cooks what it calls world-Franconian cuisine, a modern reading of regional dishes built on local produce and wine, with occasional themed menus such as one devoted to Friuli-Venezia Giulia. In summer, meals are also served in a beer garden in the Rathaushof, the town hall courtyard. The kitchen is closed on Mondays.
History and setting
The building was once the administrative seat of the Teutonic Order and has long been a meeting place for the town's social and cultural life. It was fully renovated and restored, and is run by Alte Vogtei GmbH, owned by three local families. Wolframs-Eschenbach takes its name from the medieval poet Wolfram von Eschenbach and keeps an almost complete town wall and many half-timbered houses.
Getting there
The hotel stands at Hauptstraße 21, 91639 Wolframs-Eschenbach, in the historic center. The town lies on the Burgenstraße tourist route, close to the lakes of the Fränkisches Seenland.
