4 FOREWORD ARRIVING 5

Stuttgart has been described as the world’s

biggest village, and it’s not only this paradox that
makes it worth a visit. Nestled in the Neckar valley,
one quickly gets the feeling of knowing the city, yet
it is the third largest metropolitan area in Germany.
Picturesque hills surround the city and parks fill
the calm centre, but the economy bustles with
production in the automobile sector. Inhabited by
a folk obsessed with cleanliness and tradition,
Stuttgart is also home to one of the most
technologically and research-driven areas in
Germany.
Though the German national drink is beer, Stuttgart
is Germany’s biggest winemaking area. Sausages
are popular here, but Stuttgarters prefer the ravioli-
like Maultaschen, inside which meat is hidden
when they shouldn’t be eating any. And after the
city’s team, VfB Stuttgart, survived a mediocre
and testing (2 coach changes) season, every
Stuttgarter is waiting for redemption during the FIFA
World Championships.
Enjoy Stuttgart, and remember to write in with any
comments about the city, or about this city guide,
at stuttgart@inyourpocket.com.
Cover story
Stuttgart’s gleaming new KunstMu-
seum building, known as the cube,
proudly forms a new highlight in the
city centre. See the Sightseeing
chapter for more information.
Europe In Your Pocket
In Your Pocket continues to expand, launching no less
than eight new city guides in Germany, in time for the soccer
World Cup. All World Cup host cities now have their own In
Your Pocket, in print and available locally at hotels, and also
online as both browseable text and a free downloadable
PDF guide. Apart from that, there’s the free Football In Your
Pocket insert guide which can be found in all In Your Pocket
guides in Germany - the booklet has information on teams
and stadiums and has a nifty fixtures table. Elsewhere,
new guides will hit the streets of Kosovo, Macedonia and
Montenegro this summer. If you would like to be a part of
Arriving by car
Stuttgart is connected to the Autobahn network with the A8
to Munich to the south-east and Karlsruhe to the north-west,
and the A81 heading south to Singen and the Swiss border,
and north Heilbronn and Würtzburg. When arriving, follow
the S-Zentrum signs, and use P+R to keep your parking
costs low (see Transport). Keep an eye out for Mercedes
prototypes being taken for a spin on the Autobahns around
Stuttgart or in the city itself. Areas to try to avoid during
rush-hour include Pragsattel on the route from the A81 from
Ludwigsburg to the centre; A8 direction Karlsruhe around
Pforzheim; A81 direction south from Stuttgart to Herrenberg
on Fridays and holidays.
Arriving by plane
Stuttgart airport is 13km from the city centre. From the air-
port to the downtown, take the train S2 or S3. The one-way
fare is €2.90. A taxi to the centre will cost about €26.
Arriving by train
Stuttgart’s main train station, or Hauptbahnhof, is just east
of the city centre, a few minutes walk from all the action.
Inside, the DB ReiseZentrum railroad travel agency (open
08:00-20:00, Sat 09:00-16:00, Sun 13:00-18:00, longer
during the World Cup) sells all tickets. The Arnulf-Klett-Pas-
sage is a large underground commercial centre that connects
the station with the VVS regional trains and trams; find the
VVS-Kundenzentrum public transport customer service
centre here (open 09:00-18:30, Sat 09:00-16:00, Sun
11:00-16:00). It also connects directly to Königstrasse, the
main shopping mile and pedestrian artery of Stuttgart, with
the tourist information centre. SB

Stuttgart In Your Pocket June - July 2006

6 HISTORY
About 950, Stuttgart was founded by Duke Liudolf of
Swabia, one of the sons of the Holy Roman Emperor Otto
I the Great, and used for horse breeding (especially for his
father’s cavalry, see Battle of Lechfeld). The original name,
“Stutengarten”, in English roughly “mare garden” or “stud
farm” and the coat of arms of the city, a black, rampant horse
on a golden field, come from this early settlement.
About 1300, Stuttgart became the residence of the counts
of Württemberg. In 1496, they were promoted to dukes by
the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. After Napoleon’s
break-up of the Holy Roman Empire, they earned the title of
kings and Stuttgart became a royal residence.
The name of the royal family of Württemberg and of the
state originates from a steep Stuttgart hill, formerly known
as the Wirtemberg, nowadays called the Württemberg. On
top of this hill, the mausoleum of Queen Katharina (daughter
of Czar Paul I of Russia) and King Wilhelm I of Württemberg
was built in 1824.
During the revolution of 1848-1849, a democratic pan-
German national parliament was formed in Frankfurt to
overcome the division of Germany. The members of this
parliament were driven out of Frankfurt, and the most radical
members (those who wanted to establish a republic) fled
to Stuttgart. A short while later, this rump parliament was
dissolved by the Württemberg military.
In 1871, as an autonomous kingdom, Württemberg joined
the German Empire or Kaiserreich, created by the Prussian
prime minister Otto von Bismarck through diplomacy and
several wars.
After World War I, the monarchy broke down and the Free
State of Württemberg was established, as a part of the
Weimar Republic. In 1920, Stuttgart was the seat of the
German National Government, since the administration had
to flee from Berlin.
Stuttgart In Your Pocket
During World War II, the city
centre of Stuttgart was nearly
completely destroyed during
Allied air raids.
In 1945, the Allied Forces
took control of Germany. They
merged parts of the former
German States of Baden and
Württemberg.
In 1952, the democratic
state Baden-Württemberg (the
third largest German state)
with Stuttgart as its capital
was created by referendum.
The inhabitants of Baden felt
deceived and a (more or less)
friendly rivalry exists between
the two parts until today.
On 6 September 1946 an early
concept of the Marshall Plan to
support the reconstruction and
economic and political recovery
of Europe was presented during
a speech given by US Secretary
o f S tate Ja m es B yrn es at
the Stuttgart Opera House.
This speech led directly to the
unification of the British and
American occupation zones, resulting in the so called bi-zone.
Two years later, the French also joined the bi-zone, creating
the tri-zone and thereby paving the way for the foundation of
the Federal Republic of Germany. Stuttgart, like Frankfurt,
was a serious contender to become the federal capital, but
finally Bonn succeeded.
In the late 1970s, the district of Stammheim was centre
stage to one of the most controversial periods of German
post-war history: the trial of the Red Army Faction terrorist
group at the Stammheim high-security court and the
subsequent suicides of Ulrike Meinhof, Andreas Baader,
Gudrun Ensslin and Jan-Carl Raspe (all imprisoned in the
Stammheim jail). The trial and the period thereafter were
accompanied by several new terrorist assaults to liberate
the inmates.
During the Cold War, the joint command centre of all
American military forces in Europe, Africa and the Atlantic
was moved to Stuttgart (US European Command, EUCOM).
EUCOM is headquartered there till today.
Since the 1970s, a stable conservative government,
intensive R&D investment, and tradition for mechanical
and high-tech engineering have led to constant economic
growth and prosperity. Even as other German cities
struggle with many issues, Stuttgart and the area around
have consistently had low unemployment, high educational
standards, and a good distribution of wealth.

Driving
Germany has a brilliant network of Autobahn (motorways,
prefixed A) and Bundesstrasse roads (major roads, prefixed
by B. Traffic drives on the right with speed limits of 130km/h
or 100km/h outside built-up areas, and 50km/h in built-
up areas. And indeed, there are really no speed limits on
Autobahnen which makes for some fun driving and some
truly ghastly accidents. Keep a close eye on the rear mirror
if you’re planning to overtake or if you’re in the left lane,
as those headlights in the distance behind you may get
uncomfortably close very quickly. Seatbelts must be worn
at all times and children under 12 years can only travel in
the front seat with a child restraint. German laws are strict
by many accounts when it comes to driving after you have
had a few pints, glasses or snifters full of booze. The legal
maximum alcohol to blood ratio for driving is 0.05%.
Language
The German language has been somewhat misrepresented in
the foreign media over the past decades, and when you hear it
spoken it’s not as harsh as you may expect. Although you won’t
be able to learn it on a short trip, it’s always nice to memorise
a few key terms like thank you (danke), please (bitte), hello
(gutentag) and goodbye (auf wiedersehen). You’ll notice
that written German has some odd characters, such as the
ß, the ü, ö and ä. Annoyingly, these are interchangeable with
combinations of letters and can (and often are) replaced by ss,
ue, oe and ae respectively – which explains why the website
of Cologne (Köln) is spellt www.koeln.de.
Money
The best way to get cash in Germany is to use an ATM
machine, of which there are plenty all over the country.
German banks do not charge for using foreign cards in
their machines, so check with your own bank if you’ll pay
any commission. Even if you do have to pay a euro or two
to use an ATM, it’ll be better value and easier than going to
one of the banks or train station exchange offices (like the
Reisebank chain) as they have worse exchange rates and
will charge a commission.
Germany ditched the Deutsche mark in 2002, adopting the
euro, pronounced locally as oi-ro. Germany’s economy is
the largest in Europe, and therefore the majority of coins
in circulation now are German ones; you’ll see Berlin’s
Brandenburg Gate on the €0.10, €0.20 and €0.50 coins,
and the German eagle flapping around on the €1 and €2. the
banknotes, if you’re wondering, are the same for the whole of
euroland, and are adorned with generic European bridges.
Shopping practicalities
German retail laws were incredibly strict in the past, with
shops not even regularly opening on Saturdays a year just
a decade ago, and still are not as flexible as elsewhere. On
Sundays nearly everything shuts down, with perhaps just a
few shops at the train station open, and on Saturdays you’ll
see many smaller shops closing around 14:00. Though it
may thwart your purchasing plans, it does result in a special
relaxed feel to the Sundays, which is quite nice for a change.
Credit cards are still to be embraced by most shops, much to
the annoyance to big-spending foreigners. This is due to the
system of electronic debit card payments that was in place
in Germany and other mainland European countries much
earlier; this is a safer and cheaper system than credit card as
it always requires PIN identicication rather than a signature,
and is free of the 3% commission for the shopkeepers
(eventually paid by you, dear shopper).
GLOSSARY 7
Swabian food
Stuttgarters pride themselves on the culinary tradition.
Several local specialities differentiate the cuisine from
other regions in Germany.
Spätzle The most important word to learn if planning to
eat local, Spätzle are noodles made of egg, flour, water
and salt. They are eaten as side dishes with meat and
normally drenched in thick sauces. As a main course, they
are roasted with cheese and onions (Käsespätzle).
Laugenbrezel The original pretzel came from the area,
and once you’ve tried them here, all others will fade in
comparison. The Laugenbrezel is produced by spraying a
lye or brine mixture onto the unbaked dough. In the mean-
time, the Swabian bakers have turned this technique into
an obsession, producing Laugen versions of all baked
goods and pastries. A typical snack is a Laugenbrezel
with butter - also available from small booths directly
on the Königstr.
Gaisburger Marsch Known as the national meal, this
former peasants’ food is a casserole of Spätzle, pota-
toes, beef, vegetables, broth, onions roasted in butter.
Linsen mit Saiten Lentils and sausage are a favourite
of the Swabians, most often eaten with Spätzle.
Maultaschen Ravioli-like and filled with sausage and
mince meat, spinach, egg, onions and parsley. Originally,
they were invented to cunningly hide meat on religious
fast days.
Schwäbischer Rostbraten Basically a good steak, but
with a thick gravy and a topping of fried onions.
Zwiebelkuchen After the grape harvest and the first
mash has fermented, locals gather for outdoor festivals
to stuff themselves with this onion pie and wash it down
with the low-percentage “new wine”.
Safety
Germany is a very safe country to travel in, and other than
the usual precautions against pickpocketing, there are no
special preparations you should make. Although Germany
has been in the news recently for racist attacks, these
incidents are quite rare and are by no means a purely German
phenomenon. Germans are aware that their country is more
closely scrutinised than others when it comes to this, and
racism and violence is not tolerated, witness the impressive
level of security around synagogues and Jewish institutions:
sturdy barriers and round-the-clock armed guards.
Time
Germany uses the 24-hour clock system, known as military
time in some places, but as simply as ‘the time’ here. By doing
away with all the am, pm, noon and midnight nonsense, it’s
really quite useful for avoiding confusion, and Germany is one
of the few places where the 24-hour clock is even used in
spoken language. You may be told that the museum closes at
sixteen-thirty, or that the train departs at twenty-thirtyeight.
Visas
Citizens of EU and EEA countries do not need visas to enter
Germany; most others do. For more details, visit the website
of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, www.auswaertiges-amt.de.
Germany is part of the Schengen treaty, which allows free flow
of goods and traffic between member states. This means that
your passport only gets checked when entering and leaving the
Schengen area, and once you’re in, you can travel overland from
Portugal to Finland without being stopped at the borders.

Stuttgart In Your Pocket
It’s Brazil’s Cup to Lose
The idea that this could be
one of the most open and
fiercely contested World
Cup tournaments in history
has been doing the rounds
in the press – especially
the UK press – ever since
England beat Argentina in a
rather meaningless friendly
match, held in Switzerland
at the end of last year. (The
match was also memorable
for England captain David
B e c k h a m’s p r e - ga m e
comment that ‘it is a neutral
venue for both teams.’)
Since then the idea that Fresh from Champions
the tournament is ‘open’, League success with
in fact code for ‘England Barcelona, Ronaldinho
have a chance’, has been
increasingly winning friends will be looking for another
and influencing people. World Cup triumph with
To p u t a n y E n g l a n d Brazil.” © Mediafax Foto
supporters reading this
out of their self-induced hubris: England have absolutely
no chance whatsoever of winning the World Cup; with or
without Wayne Rooney. Indeed, the now legendary Rooney
metatarsal injury has given the English press a ready excuse
when England do indeed crash out of the tournament. It
should not, however, hide the enormous failings that England
currently suffer from. They still lack a proper goalkeeper, they
have little depth up front, no genuine left-sided wide man, and
in Steven Gerrard, Frank Lampard and David Beckham too
many square pegs in round holes. England lack balance.
Other nations in this tournament do not, and Brazil is one
of them. Though the wealth of talent they have does – as it
has to – mask their own failings, there is no question of their
coach Carlos Alberto Parreira using all six of his best attacking
players at the same time. Indeed. His decision to name his
first XI as long ago as April was classic one-upmanship: the
rest of the pack now knows exactly what it has to beat.
England as we have discussed, are not qualified to do so.
With their original tactic of ‘keep it tight at the back and hope
Wayne knocks one in from 30 yards’ now out of the window.
They have woken up to discover there is no plan B. Expect
then, a variation on plan A: ‘keep it tight at the back and hope
Frankie/Stevie/Becks knocks one in from 30 yards.’ Hardly
the stuff of legend.
Is any other nation prepared to meet Brazil’s challenge? Of
the traditional ‘big guns’ Argentina looks frail and lacking in
cohesion, Italy – amid scandal at home – look less capable
even than England of putting together a decent run in the
tournament, the host nation Germany currently possesses
the worst team in their memory, Spain – crippled by the bizarre
selection policy of its coach – will underachieve once more,
and France are an ageing, wilting team hardly set for one last
glorious hurrah. Only Holland, conspicuously absent from all
talk of potential winners, look capable of mounting a decent
challenge to Brazil. And even that will depend on their mood.
Indeed, the In Your Pocket prediction is that Brazil’s likeliest
challengers will be an outsider. We – for no reason more
scientific than a hunch – think the Ukraine will do well. We also
like the look of the United States, and if they can find the net
often enough Portugal will do well. Yet none of these three
will beat an on-form Brazil. And Brazil are the best team in
Germany. Not since Italy surprised even themselves to take
the trophy in 1982 has the best team in the World Cup gone
home empty handed.
The cup then is Brazil’s to lose. We doubt very much that they
will do so. But as we said four years ago (while we were heavily
tipping France) in a cup competition, anything can happen…

12 STUTTGART’S SPA CULTURE
© Stuttgart-Marketing GmbH
A little known fact about the industrial centre, Stuttgart
has the second highest amount of natural mineral spring
water in Europe after Budapest. This natural spring water
bubbles out of the ground in the city’s largest and oldest
district of Bad Cannstatt, and in the adjacent quarter
Berg, fed by an underground river running below the city.
Nineteen individual springs produce more than 22 million
litres of healthy mineral water daily, containing dissolved
mineral salts and other valuable substances. You can see
the pressure release valves at the westernmost edge of
the Schloßgarten near the Mineral Bäder station. These
conical structures allow the spring water to spout out if
it’s not needed for the baths.
The city of Stuttgart benefits from this enormous natural
resource. There are three indoor mineral spas, two outdoor
mineral water pools, as well as three cure centres and 20
public mineral water fountains. One, at the banks of the
Neckar near the station Mühlsteg, offers constantly flowing
water, that you can bottle and take with you.
Twelve of the mineral water sources are state-recognized
medicinal springs, one namely, the “Stuttgart Cure”.
In cooperation wi th doctors and h eal th insurance
organisations, an ambulatory therapy programme offers
full treatment for a number of ailments for people in their
homes and places of work. It is based on the curative effect
of the mineral water and is supplemented by a wide range
of additional therapies, chosen according to the latest
medical findings.
According to legend, “spa” comes from the
Latin acronym, “Sante per Aqua”, meaning
“health through water”. Two thousand years
ago, the Romans became progressively
aware of the mineral springs’ curative effect
and established a fortress, upon which the
foundation for the former spa of Cannstatt
was built. This spa came to be a meeting
place for aristocrats, the place to flaunt
wealth and indulge in elegance. This spa
tradition has continued (although on a bit
more humble scale), at two municipal health
spas, Leuze and Bad Cannstatt, and at the
mineral bath Berg, which has been family-
owned for over one hundred years.
The public spa in Bad Cannstatt has
integrated a new cure and treatment centre,
and both facilities are part of the Pannonia
Hotel complex. A state-of-the-art health
facility with a distinctive spa character and
versatile, modern services are available
directly in the city. Among other things,
Stuttgart In Your Pocket
one can take advantage of whirlpools, Kneipp basins,
fitness room, solarium, steam bath, and various sauna
opportunities. The swimming area, with its multi-purpose
swimming pools, warm, cold and hot water basins, is supplied
from three state-recognized medicinal springs and a recently
discovered thermal salt water spring. The mineral springs,
are seen as fountains of wellness, constantly bubbling, and
presiding as the most important assets for health awareness
and prevention in Stuttgart.
This bath and spa culture is something not be missed in
Stuttgart, because sweating in the sauna is a favourite
way for locals to relax or treat themselves to some of that
wellness that Germans like so much. Baths and spas have
sprung up all around Stuttgart, even in areas where there
is no mineral spring water. The SI-Centre for example also
offers a very posh spa, although without natural spring water,
with all sorts of treatments influenced by every bathing
technique, from Japanese to Turkish.
Note that spas and baths have swimming areas, where
bathing suits are worn, but also have wellness areas,
where men and women go naked. Germany is the home of
FKK culture (Freikörperkultur, or naked recreation) and the
traditional Anglo-Saxon embarrassment about the own body
is viewed with some curiosity. Once you get over the fact that
nobody’s body resembles anything you see in the ads on TV,
it’s easier to relax – so strip and have fun. In Your Pocket
takes no responsibility for wrinkly fingers.

WINE, VINEYARDS AND WINE FESTIVALS 13
Talking about grapes in Stuttgar t is an exercise in
superlatives. Stuttgart is the largest wine producing
community in Germany and, consequently, a lot of activity
focuses on its production... and consumption. Most Stuttgart
restaurants serving German or local Swabian food also offer
a good selection of wines and most bars and clubs will have
at least some local wines.
Historically, winemaking had its first large-scale success
here, when, in the third century, Roman emperors had
vineyards built in the entire area. In the 16th century, the
region Stuttgart was the largest wine producer in the Holy
Roman Empire of the German nation. Today, reds are
produced mainly from the grapes of Trollinger, Spätburgunder
and the exquisite Lemberger, and whites from Riesling,
Kerner, Silvaner and Müller Thurgau. These plants are
especially suited to the region and yield wines typical for
the area: light to mid-heavy, dry to semi-sweet. And there
are several producers of excellent sparkling wines, known
as Sekt.
The best way to get to know the winemaking tradition is a Besenwirtschaften are open only for limited times, get

Butcher and baker
Since Stuttgarters are usually stressfully heading from
job to Mercedes dealership to shopping, their breakfast
and lunch are usually enjoyed at a bakery or butcher.
Several bakery chains (Lang or Kamps) offer inexpensive
and somewhat more healthy fare than your average
fast-food hunger-blocker. Even cheaper, there are several
“self-service” (SB) bakeries - the one in the pedestrian
underpass at the main station has great pastries filled
with cheese. Most butchers offer excellent and very
reasonable lunch specials. The choice is somewhat
limited and you normally eat standing up, but a complete
and delicious meal of some local specialities for under
€ 4 is hard to beat.

of a lounge bar full of eclectic folk playing cards, reading and
reclining on similarly eclectic furniture between its two doors.
Great bowls of pasta (€5) and soup (€3) comprise their food
menu while the drinks list is handily scrawled above the hard-
working bar folk. DJs spin a varied roster of chilly tunes. Q Open

Mezzanin C-3, Bolzstr. 8b, MSchlossplatz, tel. 284 68

place to smoke a cigar (a large variety of fine Cuban cigars is
available), drink a cognac and have a light lunch Spanish-style
in the middle of the city. In the evening, this becomes a hot
meeting spot and often is completely packed, both down-
stairs at the bar and upstairs in the almost hidden lounge.

Mos Eisley C-3, Fritz Elsass-Str. 20, MStadtmitte, tel.
284 29 57, www.moseisley-kostundlogis.de. This is place
is popular with DJs, students and younger artists (no connection
with Tatooine). The food is surprisingly good and the brunch pos-
sibilities varied and delicious. It gets very packed in the evenings
and though this is not usually a problem in Stuttgart, beware of
pickpockets here. The atmosphere is friendly, if it only weren’t for
those yellow windows that give the place a strange glow during
the day. QOpen 10:00 - 01:00, Fri, Sat 11:00 - 02:00.
Oblomow C-4, Torstr. 20, MCharlottenplatz, tel. 236
79 24. Oblomow’s almost bone-like stone interior is always
packed with hedonistic young things perched on the lofty
chairs or tucked into tight corners while the bar throngs with
a more fluid crowd and the sportsters play table football out
back. Loud and late, this bar funks on into the early morning.

Rohbau C-3, Theodor-Heuss-Str. 26, MStadtmitte, tel. 222
08 88. In the evenings, the pervasive aesthetic designed by Markus
(of Deli and Switzerland fame) makes this the place for twenty-to-
thirty-something architects, designers and media artists. The live
DJs usually produce an excellent mix of sound and the well-mixed
cocktails a charged atmosphere. Come early or you won’t fit inside.
If you’re an insider, have a booth reserved so you can be admired by
jealous others. QOpen 20:00 - 02:00, Fri, Sat 20:00 - 04:00.
Schaufenster Mitte C-3, Theodor-Heuss-Str. 4, MStadt-

you’re more into the student atmosphere and not the made-up
and pretty crowd of the rest of the Theodor-Heuss scene, come
here for a different atmosphere. It’s of course not as elegant
or well-dressed, but there are interesting exhibitions, concerts

another café/bar around the Hans-Im-Glück fountain, here

welcomes anyone into fairly hardcore punk, rock, hip hop

tables at the other end of this large space making more of
a pub feel. Schwabian specialities, soup, salads plus burg-

large portions. Try käsespätzl for a great base for a night’s

dance and can’t hear yourself breathing, is somehow more

it does kick off, dance their socks off. The vibe is retro and
the music meanders wildly from rockabilly rock n’ roll, swing,
hip hop and metal. Good long bar in a single room. Q Open

32 WHAT TO SEE
Main sights
Altes Schloß C/D-3, Schillerpl. 6, MCharlottenplatz.
Originally a 13th century moated castle (see the museum
models) for the ruling counts, the building was not deemed
worthy to be the residence of the dukes who came to
power in the 15th century, so was transformed into this
magnificent Renaissance castle and courtyard. Also here is
the first Protestant church north of the Alps dating to 1562
(reformation occurred in1534) and the equestrian statue
is of the well-loved Eberhard V, first of the dukes. Check
out the fluted columns in the courtyard, they are actually
fluted with flutes, and the bucks on the clock head-butt
each other on the hour. The four granite blocks behind the
building were shipped from Brazil and form the Memorial to
the Victims of Hitler.
Bismarckturm B-1, Am Bismarckturm 36, MKillesberg
Messe, tel. 256 02 37, www.bismarcktuerme.de/web-
site/ebene4/bawue/stuttg.html. On the Killesberg north
of the centre, this tower was built in honour of Bismarck by
students of the former Technical University in 1904, a part
of a large Bismarck student movement of the time. The view
is excellent and makes for a nice walk when visiting the other
sights at the Killesberg.
Bohnenvier tel (Bean Quar ter) D-4, Between
Charlottenstr. & Holzstr., MCharlottenplatz. Originally
a settlement outside the city walls, this is currently the
oldest part of the city, laid down in the 14th century for the
town’s craftsmen, winegrowers and Jews. The name was
cultivated because of the beans grown in their gardens as
the food staple. The only surviving building from this time
is the Schellenturm (1564). For a long time, the quarter was
infamous as the red light district, but widespread renova-
tions and intensive gentrification have lined the cobbled
streets with boutiques, designer hotels and wine bars. A
trace of naughtiness is still left near the petrol station and
the small alleys southwards.

serviced by two ear-popping lifts and gives great views over
the city and across the fertile fields growing, among other
things, filderkraut (a strange cabbage unique to this area).
On good days you can see the Swiss and Austrian Alps. Pri-

Fruchtkasten C-3, Schillerpl. 1, MSchloßplatz. Next
to the Stiftskirche and now housing the Musical Instruments
Museum, this house was originally a granary and wine press
– see the statue of Bacchus on its apex. The building was
almost totally reconstructed after suffering heavy damage
in the war but keeps its late gothic heart and renaissance
façade.
Grabkapelle auf dem Württemberg Württembergstr.
340, MUntertürkheim, tel. 33 71 49. This tomb was built
by Wilhelm I for his young wife Katharina who died at the age of
30 in 1819. Designed by Giovanni Salucci, it has also served
as a Russian Orthodox chapel and is still in use on special
occasions. This is a great destination when going for a walking
through the picturesque vineyards of Untertürkheim. The view
over the vineyards and Neckar valley to Stuttgart should not
be missed. Q Open Wed 10:00-12:00, Fri, Sat 10:00-12:00,

Admission free.
Killesbergturm Am Kochenhof, Höhenpark, MKilles-
berg Messe, www.killesbergturm.de. In the middle of
the Höhenpark, this 43-metre tower offers fantastic views,
like all towers built on the hills surrounding town. However,
this one is constructed with tensile steel cables and ex-
panded metal platforms (designed by Jörg Schlaich), and
is very light - and rocks back and forth in the wind. Fun for
an adrenaline rush.
Klösterle Marktstr. 71, MBad Canstatt, www.proalt-
cannstatt.de. This is the oldest residential building in Bad
Canstatt, built in 1463. The name Klösterle means “little
monastery” and comes from a free order of nuns who lived
here until reformation. This is a good place to start exploring
the old part of Bad Canstatt.
Königsbau C-3, Königstr. 28, MSchlossplatz. This mid-
19th century building was originally used for court purposes,
but now it’s an altogether happier affair, filled with cafés and
shops. Behind the Königsbau, a large commercial complex
is now opened, the largest city centre mall in Stuttgart. It
was destroyed during the war, rebuilt, and housed the stock
exchange in Stuttgart. QOpen 10:00 - 18:00. Closed Sat.

the building can be arranged. There’s also a restaurant where
one can hope to rub shoulders with local politicians.
Markthalle C-3, Dorotheenstr. 4, MRathaus, www.

plus great interior design shop upstairs, and café and restaurant
that uses the fresh, organic and delicious wares from the market

Open 07:00 - 18:30. Sat 07:00 - 16:00. Closed Sun.
Neues Schloß D-3, Schloßplatz, MCharlottenplatz. In
1744, the 16 year old Herzog demanded this 365 roomed new
palace to be built, but 60 years later when it was completed,
he had four other palaces and it wasn’t needed by the Kings of
State. Four architects participated in its design, including a French
one, hence the French architectural overtones in its U-shaped
body. Almost totally destroyed in WWII, it was rebuilt and today
holds the Ministries or Finance and Education. The Marble Hall
in its centre welcomes visiting heads of state and the building
is not usually open to the public. Visiting days are announced in
the newspaper and are heavily oversubscribed.
Rathaus (City Hall) C-4, Marktplatz 1, MRathaus,

was rebuilt in simplified form (though the original tower is en-
cased in the new one) between 1953-56. A monthly changing

34 WHAT TO SEE
Fast cars
The Stuttgart region is home to approximately 150000
companies and the area is known for its high-tech, mechani-
cal engineering and automotive industry. Some of its most
prominent companies include DaimlerChrysler (Mercedes
Benz automobiles), Porsche, Bosch (components supplier and
mechanical engineering), Celesio (pharmaceuticals), Hewlett-
Packard (computer and peripherals) and IBM (software), all of
whom have located their international or German headquar-
ters here. Stuttgart is the place where the motorbike and the
four-wheeled automobile were invented, hence the statement
that Stuttgart is the birthplace of individual mobility. The car
was first developed by Gottlieb Daimler and Carl Benz, and
industrialised production began here in 1887 by Daimler
and Wilhelm Maybach in their Daimler Motoren Gesellschaft.
Famous and prestigious brands (Mercedes-Benz, Porsche,
Maybach) are produced here. The very first prototypes of
the VW Beetle were fabricated in Stuttgart, based on a
design by Ferdinand Porsche. Proving the links to the region,
the Porsche logo has Stuttgart depicted in the centre, and
the horse and stag antlers are derived from the symbols
of Stuttgart and Baden-Württemberg. The region currently
has Germany’s highest density of scientific, academic and
research organisations, and has the most patent applica-
tions. More than 11% of all R&D-expenses in the Germany are
generated here (approximately €4.3 billion yearly). In addition
to several universities and
colleges, the area has six
institutes of the Fraunhofer
Gesellschaft, four institutes
for collaborative industrial
research at local universi-

The point of landscapes
The dotty genius Claude Monet and his peers were accused
of being “painters of mere impressions” by critics around
1874, after the group came up with a revolutionary new
way to depict natural lighting and incorporate freshness
in their paintings. Now, 132 years later, the Staatsgalerie
Stuttgart has organised an anniversary exhibition around
Monet’s Fields in Springtime painting that has been the
star exhibit in the museum for 100 years, since 1906, and
that was purchased despite having been slagged off in the
press as “polka dots” and “colour study”.
The exhibition unites the painting with 45 superb other
paintings, on load from the world’s most famous col-
lections, including the Museum of Modern Art (New
York), Museo Thyssen-Bornemisza (Madrid), Musée
d’Orsay (Paris) and the State Hermitage Museum (St.
Petersburg). Together, they form a unique combination
of paintings, cunningly used by the Staatsgalerie to
illustrate one of Monet’s most important themes, the
depiction of fields and meadows.

Stif tskirche C-3, Stif tsstr. 12, MRathaus, www.
stif tskirche-stuttgart.de. Also named the Collegiate
Church, the main Protestant church in Stuttgart was originally
built in the 14th century and enlarged by the dukes (along
with their castle) in the 16th century, hence the uneven
towers and mixed early and late gothic look. The nave was
destroyed in 1944, reconstruction was completed in 1958
with conversions continuing today. The renovation revealed
archaeological findings from 950, dating back to the original
settlement of the Stutengarten (stud farm). Art works inside

Bauhaus architecture
Weissenhof Siedlung MKillesberg Messe.
Stuttgart’s Killesberg is home to a fascinating part of
architectural history, the Weissenhof Estate, one of the
most important developments in modern architecture. It
was designed in the late 1920s by prominent architects
of the day as part of a 1927 competition and exhibition
for “Die Wohnung” by 17 architects from five European
countries, including Walter Gropius, Mies van der Rohe,
Le Corbusier and Hans Scharoun. Eleven show houses
from the exhibition have survived and are still occupied
today. In the summer of 2006, the Weissenhof Museum
will reopen in the renovated Le Corbusier House, a semi-
detached house built by the architects Le Corbusier and
Pierre Jeanneret in 1927. Architecture historians describe
the building as an icon of modern architecture. As well as
having an opportunity to view this iconic building, visitors
will find an interesting information centre documenting
the Bauhaus tradition.

get into the primordial heart of this region (or at least as

© Stuttgart-Marketing GmbH
Stuttgart has a blessed location when it comes to planning
trips around town: to the east there’s the Schwäbisches Alb
(Swabian Alps) and Bavaria (two hours to Munich, traffic
allowing); to the west, the Schwarzwald (Black Forest),
and Alsace in France; to the south, the Bodensee (Lake of
Constance), the Alps and Switzerland.
The Swabian Alb is a chain of hills stretching north-south,
about 50km east of Stuttgart. Take the A8 towards Munich, and
you’ll see the area that produces a substantial amount of wind-
generated energy in inland Germany. The area around Blaubeuren
sits on top of a complex system of underground rivers and lakes,
and features several caves as well as the Blautopf, an incredible
pool fed by an underground spring with (naturally) turquoise blue
mineral water. Another attraction is the Panorama Therme in
Beuren, where you can relax in hot mineral spring water.
The Black Forest, famous for clean air, endless green
meadows, cows and dark pine forests, was originally a
chain of volcanic mountains later reworked by the glaciers
of the last ice age. Take the A81 direction Singen. To
primordial as you can get in Germany) take the exit at
Donaueschingen and follow the signs in the direction of
Freiburg or Titisee-Neustadt. This most spectacular region is
the Hochschwartzwald (High Black Forest) around the Titisee
(Lake of Titus, named after the Roman emperor who swam in
it) and the Feldberg (at over 1400m the highest “mountain”
in the Black Forest). The whole area is dotted with charming
small towns, and with tourism being the main industry, it’s
usually not a problem finding a bed & breakfast, since almost
every inhabitant offers rooms for rent. The central town here
is Neustadt (www.titisee.de). The Titisee, Schluchsee (www.
schluchsee.de) and countless smaller lakes make this an
excellent summer escape from the city - for a cool dip, a
hike, camping or a civilised five-course meal on a terrace
overlooking the rolling hills covered in pine forest. Close to
Neustadt there is an excellent inn, the Jostalstüble (www.
jostalstueble.de), with fabulous and reasonable cuisine and a
very comfortable wellness hotel with golfing possibilities.
The area is known for the excellent food and drink. A regional
speciality is schnapps distilled from cherries, pears and
whatever other fruit the locals can get their hands on.
Generally, the souvenir bottle will be cheaper and of higher
quality from the Edeka supermarket in Neustadt, than if
you buy it at a tourist shop. The famous and heavy Black
Forest Cake can be found at every bakery and is flavoured
with Kirschwasser (cherry schnapps). Black Forest ham
is smoked and dried, the best available from the butcher
Kopfmann in Neustadt. The Glottertal, a valley in the direction
of Freiburg from Titisee, offers quaint inns and fabulous
restaurants, the two best being (each with Michelin stars)
Engel and Hirsch.
Smaller towns that lie around the Black Forest, like Villingen-
Schwenningen (www.tourismus-vs.de) and Freudenstadt
(www.freudenstadt.de), also offer excellent possibilities to
get away and back to nature. Although there are several
legends describing how the main square came to be (from
feuds to untimely aristocratic deaths), today, this market
place is the biggest in Germany, and the city’s most popular
and luxurious stores, cafés, bars and restaurants are
situated around this square in the arcades.
Baden Baden (www.baden-baden.de) is an ancient spa town
lying between the Black Forest and France. Here you’ll find
probably the most luxurious spa and wellness landscape
in Germany, the nation’s oldest and certainly most elegant
casino, and high-class restaurants and hotels to no end.
Not surprisingly, Baden Baden is the playground of the
independently wealthy.
Cycling
Unusually for Germany, Stuttgart is not really well-adapted
to cyclists. First, there are lots of hills. Secondly, Stuttgart’s
roads are designed for big fat cars. Although there are a few
cycle routes, it’s still tricky getting around, especially when
the SLK behind you is getting nervous about not being able
to apply all 300 HP. However there is a nice cycle route start-
ing in the Schloßgarten, continuing toward Bad Canstatt to
Rosenheim Park, and then along the Neckar either toward
Esslingen and Plöchingen, or in the upriver direction towards
Remseck and the Max-Eyth-See, a large lake along the river.
It’s a flat route and offers wonderful scenery: vineyards,
quaint garden settlements and the Neckar valley.
Driving & Car rental
Although the city itself is best explored on foot and by public
transport, car rental is at hand for daytrips and further forays
into Stuttgart’s celebrated surroundings. Parking in the city
centre is not cheap at €3/hour, so it may pay off to leave
your car at one of the commuter train stations around the
city, where parking is cheap or free.
Public transport
With buses, trams, U-Bahn and S-Bahn and DB trains
zipping around town, Stuttgart’s public transport is a
delight - and often the fastest way to get around. Most
services run every 10-12 minutes during the day. Tickets
can be bought at the orange machines at almost every
stop (credit cards accepted), and on buses at the driver
(cash only). A one-way ticket costs €1.80 (1 zone) for
the centre, with the €1.00 Kurzstrecke ticket available
if you’re going 3 or fewer stations. There are day tickets
BELFAST
Stuttgart’s districts
The City of Stuttgart is subdivided into 23 city districts,
among the most well-known are:
• Bad Cannstatt (Western Europe’s largest mineral spas
/ Zoo Wilhelma / beer festivals “Cannstatter Wasen” and
“Stuttgarter Frühlingsfest”)
• Moehringen (Musical Theatres)
• Stammheim (High-security court & jail)
• Untertürkheim (DaimlerChrysler HQ and Original Mer-
cedes-Benz plant)
• Vaihingen (One of two campuses of Stuttgart’s
university)
• Zuffenhausen (Home of the Porsche Sports Cars
Company)
• Feuerbach (Home of original Bosch plant)
for the centre and immediate surroundings (€5.10 for 2
zones - this does not include the airport), or for the entire
network stretching more than 50km around Stuttgart
(€10.50). As a group it’s cheaper to buy a group day ticket
(€8.50 for 2 zones, €13.50 for the whole network). The
useful 3-day-ticket is valid for three consecutive days for
one adult and two children (age 6 - 17 years) for an un-
limited number of rides on all busses and rail lines within
the specified territory. This ticket costs €9 for Stuttgart
including Fellbach, Korntal and the airport, and €12.30
for the entire VVS network. The 3-day-ticket is for sale at
at hotels and the tourism information centre, and is only
available for people who can prove they’re staying in a
local hotel - the bill will do.

The Lake of Constance is a great place to visit in summer.

A must is the island of Mainau (still under aristocratic rule)
with it’s palace and botanical gardens. Constance is a pretty
university town, with a young night scene and plenty to see
and do. The best way to spend several days here is a bike
tour around the lake - contact the tourist office in Constance
(www.bodensee-tourismus.com) for more information. The
Swabians may call the lake the Swabian Sea, but on a bike you
have the possibility to ride through Swabia, Bavaria, Austria,
Switzerland and, back into Germany, through Baden.
