Company events, conferences, product launches, Christmas parties and weddings for up to 400 guests can be organized at the Alte Weberei, a former weaving mill of 1876 in Mittelstadt, a district of Reutlingen between Stuttgart and Tübingen. About 2,000 m² of event space sit under one roof, with a main hall, a separate club, lounge and bar areas, and a garden.
Seminars and company events
The business offer covers conferences, seminars, workshops, kick-offs, product presentations, fashion shows and music events. Group sizes on the enquiry form run from under 30 to 400 people. The main hall can be set with rows of chairs for a plenary or with tables for a banquet, and the round tables seat 8 to 10 each. Sound and microphones are available on request, clients can bring their own equipment, and the building has several power connections including high-voltage supply. Bands are allowed and there is no curfew, since the site stands on its own.
For Christmas parties, the venue offers dinner in the hall for teams of up to 400, with a fire bowl outside for mulled wine. Optional extras include a photo booth, a guest shuttle to hotels, and activities such as wine tastings, casino nights, escape rooms and GPS outdoor tours.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings, birthdays and family celebrations use the same spaces. A non-religious ceremony can take place in the garden in front of the Brunnenplatz, with benches and sunshades, or indoors in bad weather. A sparkling wine reception follows on the Brunnenplatz, then dinner in the hall and dancing in the club. A honeymoon suite for the couple is inside the building, a separate room for a children's program is available on request, and a classic car from Hahn Classic can serve as the wedding car.
Rooms and capacities
The Halle von 1876 is the main room, with cast-iron columns and a flexible layout. The Club has its own dance floor and light show for after-parties. A concert space, lounge areas and a bar with a billiard table complete the indoor offer. Outside, the Brunnenplatz and a garden with old trees host ceremonies and receptions. The venue states up to 400 guests in total but gives no capacity per room; a floor plan can be downloaded from the site.
Accommodation
The building has a honeymoon suite for the couple. For guests, the partner hotel, the four-star Hotel Schönbuch in nearby Pliezhausen, offers special rates, and a shuttle can be arranged. Overnight stays in motorhomes on the car park are not permitted.
Catering
The venue works with four catering partners: Benz & Co., Weller, Culinarium Uwe Förster and Achtender. Clients choose one of them and select their drinks, with an emphasis on regional suppliers and sustainable planning.
History and setting
The mill was built in 1876 for the textile firm Gebrüder Elmer & Zweifel, with cast-iron columns and looms brought from Manchester and steam power driving the machines. At its peak in 1885 the company employed 795 people. The hall later served as a warehouse, and in 2009 it became an event venue. The Müller and Hahn families took over in 2022 and renovated the listed building, and the classic car workshop Hahn Classic opened inside in 2023. Its vintage cars are often shown among the event tables.
Getting there
The address is Neckartenzlinger Str. 110, 72766 Reutlingen. The venue lies between Stuttgart, Tübingen, Reutlingen and Metzingen, close to the Neckar. Hosts and suppliers park on site, and guests use the Gemeindefestplatz car park next door. Stuttgart Airport is the nearest airport.
