A famous advertisement showing two scampering ‘Piccolos’ was designed by the “Simplicissimus“ cartoonist Josef Benedikt Engl (1867-1907) in 1904. Younger waiters were once referred to by this name in restaurants and hotels. Today the KESSLER Piccolos are the symbol of the KESS-LER Sekt brand. During that same year renovation of the Speyerer Pfleghof commenced. Included among various improvements was the installation of one of the first telephone lines in Esslingen. It had the number 13.
