Stuttgart entdecken

Schlossplatz is Stuttgart's largest square, framed by the New Palace on one side and bordered by the Königsbau and the Kunstmuseum. Once a military parade ground, it has been open public parkland since 1918, centred on the Jubiläumsäule column erected in 1841 and renewed for the 1977 garden show.

The Weissenhof Estate is a housing development built for the 1927 Deutscher Werkbund exhibition, with 21 buildings by 17 European architects coordinated by Mies van der Rohe. Designed to showcase affordable modern housing, its flat roofs, strip windows and white facades became hallmarks of modernist architecture. Two houses by Le Corbusier are a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
