Gasthof Alt-Engelsdorf takes meetings, training days, company celebrations, family parties and weddings for 5 to 60 guests. The family-run inn, hotel and restaurant has stood in the center of Engelsdorf, on the eastern side of Leipzig, since 1880. It offers three event rooms, a summer terrace, guest rooms and its own bowling lanes.
Seminars and company events
Three meeting packages are offered. Bronze, from ten people, covers three soft drinks each, a coffee break with fruit or cake and a main course at lunch, without equipment. Silver, also from ten, adds a morning break, a three-course lunch or small buffet and an afternoon coffee and cake break, plus a screen, a flip chart, a projector, paper and pens. Gold, from five people, adds unlimited drinks in the meeting room, dinner with three drinks, two hours of bowling, one night in a hotel room and a breakfast buffet. For the evening, the house arranges themed nights with performers, such as a beer evening, a magic evening or an evening on the 1813 Battle of the Nations. It also organizes guided city tours of Leipzig, visits to the BMW plant, cabaret outings and, in summer, rafting at Kanupark Markkleeberg.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings take place in the banquet hall, with a sparkling wine reception on the planted summer terrace. The house keeps local customs: the couple saws through a log together on arrival, then shares bread and salt. Wedding cakes are designed with the couple, from classic to fruity or creamy. A wedding suite with a round canopy bed is available for the night, and a trial wedding night is offered. Tours of the rooms are by appointment.
Rooms and capacities
The Tagungsraum, also called the Kleiner Tagungsraum, seats up to 25 and suits board meetings and smaller family or company celebrations. The Wintergarten, a Mediterranean-style winter garden, takes up to 35 for a meeting and up to 40 for a celebration, depending on the layout, and opens onto the summer terrace. The Kleiner Festsaal is the largest room, bright with daylight, for up to 60 guests, also with direct access to the terrace. Table shape, flowers and decoration are arranged to order. In the restaurant, one festive table can seat up to 20.
Accommodation
The hotel has guest rooms, including double rooms and the wedding suite. The website does not give the number of rooms. Bookings are made by phone or email while online booking is being set up.
Catering
The kitchen serves traditional Saxon home cooking. For events it prepares set menus, buffets or platters, and the house also runs brunches and culinary evenings.

The address is Engelsdorfer Straße 290, 04319 Leipzig. The inn is near the B 6 road, about five minutes from the A 14 motorway, and about ten minutes from both the Leipzig trade fair grounds and the city center.
