The Sengelmannshof in Essen-Kettwig organizes company events and private celebrations for 10 to 120 guests, and meetings for up to 50 people. Hotel, restaurant and four event rooms share one half-timbered house in the Kettwig district of Essen, a place of gathering since the 14th century and in the same family since 1817.
Seminars and company events
Meetings and conferences are possible for up to 50 participants, depending on seating and room size. The rooms can be fitted with modern presentation equipment, and the team agrees on the technology with the organizer. Catering ranges from drinks, coffee and snacks to a set menu or a buffet. Breaks can be spent on the terrace or on a short walk in the nearby green area. A meeting can be combined with overnight stays in the hotel, and the house builds a package around the number of participants, the schedule, the technology and the catering.
The house also plans company parties, anniversaries and Christmas parties. For a team event, it runs an ice-stock shooting evening called Stocksause from November 9 to December 18, 2026, which it can combine with food and drinks. Its event planning covers the room concept, food, drinks, service, timing and seating, with a personal consultation before booking.
Weddings and receptions
The Sengelmannshof has a dedicated wedding page and presents the historic setting as the frame for weddings and special occasions. Each wedding is planned individually, and couples are invited to arrange a personal meeting and a visit. For birthdays and family celebrations, the house also offers a party service for up to 200 guests, which brings tableware, cutlery and table decoration to the host's own venue.
Rooms and capacities
Four event rooms cover groups from 10 to 120 people. The largest is a festively decorated hall for up to 120 guests. The Rübenkeller, a vaulted cellar, takes up to about 30 guests. It is not in regular operation and can only be booked exclusively for closed parties. The Kaminzimmer, a fireplace room, suits a smaller group. The website does not publish a capacity for each of the other rooms, so ask for the layouts when you send a request.
Accommodation
The hotel has several room categories and welcomes weekend visitors and trade fair guests. The website does not give the number of rooms. For larger events, room blocks or special requests, the house asks organizers to get in touch early.
Catering
The kitchen serves a regional, seasonal menu in the restaurant and on the terrace. For events, menus, buffets, finger food and drinks are agreed individually with the team. The party service handles catering for up to 200 guests at a location of your choice.
History and setting
The site has been a meeting place since the 14th century. It has belonged to the same family since 1817 and is run today by the Schriever family. The half-timbered house keeps its historic atmosphere and offers modern comfort for guests.
