Discover Deizisau: Press House, Culture and Forest

Deizisau can be explored through three specific themes: the history of the press house and the town, recreation in the forest, and cycling along a regional circular route. There are also cultural venues with different purposes and a bus connection to Esslingen. When planning your trip, you can first decide whether you would like to focus on historical themes, time in the great outdoors, or a combination of both.

The history of the press house and winegrowing

The press house in Deizisau was built by a hospital in 1706 and is a listed building. A notable architectural feature is the remarkable half-timbering in the attic, with its distinctive construction. The building’s history is closely linked to the area’s former winegrowing: Deizisau was once a winegrowing community. Historically, residents were required to press their wine at the press house; anyone who failed to do so faced a penalty imposed by the hospital. The building’s history therefore also preserves a reminder of how the wine trade was organised at the time.

The renovated press house provides space for cultural events, exhibitions, meetings and private celebrations. If you are planning a visit or event, check the latest dates and arrangements in advance, as its use may change. The press house thus represents both a part of local history and its present-day cultural uses, with the specific arrangements depending on the occasion.

Cultural venues with different focuses

The listed tithe barn is located in the heart of Deizisau and serves as a cultural venue. Its regular programme includes events and projects, as well as swap markets and collaborations with schools. Its range of activities combines community events with cultural offerings, giving the tithe barn a different focus from the press house, with its history and wide range of possible uses.

The Deizisau Village Museum explores the history of the town and of the Clauß family, who once owned land there. If you are interested in local development, the museum offers another historical perspective: alongside the winegrowing tradition and buildings, it also focuses on a family connected with Deizisau. Together, the press house, tithe barn and village museum offer a range of ways to explore the area during a stay focused on culture and local history.

Forest, trails and views

The municipality’s forests include a woodland playground and well-maintained hiking trails for local recreation. The playground offers families a direct connection with nature, while the trails provide a more active option. This gives you the chance to shape your stay differently from a day devoted mainly to cultural venues and history. Deizisau is also associated with views towards the Neckar Valley and Esslingen.

Deizisau on the cycling route and the connection to Esslingen

On the Plochingen Filder Route, cyclists cross the Neckar Bridge to Deizisau and continue via Sirnauer Straße and Herrenlandweg. Over the longer route, the regional circular tour passes through Altbach and Deizisau into the Körsch Valley. This makes the route a distinctive way to see the area: it combines a ride through Deizisau with a regional itinerary. Before setting off, check the latest route information or GPX track, as the route may change.

Bus route 104 connects Deizisau with Esslingen. Check the current timetable before travelling, as routes and times may change. Looking at the wider travel destination of Esslingen, the view expands to the entire district, which is shaped by six landscape areas: Schurwald, Schönbuch, Fildern, the Neckar Valley, the foothills of the Swabian Jura and the Albtrauf escarpment. The orchards are also part of this broader landscape; they include 1.5 million fruit trees and shape the scenery. Since 2020, cyclists in the district have had around 1,200 kilometres of district cycling routes at their disposal, and continuous bicycle route signage is provided throughout the district.
