The Esslingen City Archive is the archive of the city of Esslingen am Neckar .
building
The main building of the city archive has the address Georg-Christian-von-Kessler-Platz 10, there has also been an organ building branch in the north wing of the cloister of St. Paul Minster since 1990 and the Georg-Christian-von-Kessler-Platz branch since 2006 6, where more recent collections from 1803 are kept.
The building at Georg-Christian-von-Kessler-Platz 10 is the former All Saints Chapel. The first written mention of the All Saints Chapel comes from the year 1326. The chapel was built around the middle of the 13th century on the city wall, the humpback cubes of which are still present in the southern long side of the building. The chapel was originally at ground level and had two floors, the basement was used as an ossuary after bones from the cemetery of the St. Dionys Church had to be reburied. By raising the street level, the ogival blind arcades on the other sides of the basement were later largely covered. The upper floor is likely to have originally had a dwarf gallery with a round arch, which can only be accessed from passages in the buttresses and two preserved consoles with floor approaches. On the west side there was a bell gable with two pointed arched windows. In the interior of the basement there are still nine consoles with arches that point to a once-existing ribbed vault with 4 × 3 yokes. A renovation was carried out in the 15th century, in the course of which a fresco was attached to the east wall of the chapel floor in 1444. It shows the death and the ascension of Mary as well as the crucifixion of Jesus and the last judgment.
The conversion to the archive took place in 1610. In 1940, the interior of the building was renovated and redesigned by Walter Eisele. The former All Saints Chapel is considered the oldest surviving example of its type of building in Baden-Württemberg and, with its orientation towards Hohenstaufen architecture, bears witness to the supraregional importance of the city at the time of construction.
