An audio walk through Stuttgart: from the station tower and its Mercedes star, past the Stuttgart 21 construction site and through the palace gardens to Palace Square, then via the New and Old Palaces, Schiller Square, the Market Hall and the Town Hall to the Lucky Hans fountain, St Leonard's Church and the Bean Quarter. Find out why police searched Daimler's garden shed for counterfeit money, how a queen fought famine with a savings bank, why a palace and a market hall were each saved by a single vote, and why Swabian pasta parcels are nicknamed little God-cheaters. 3.5 km, about 90 minutes, ending at a wine tavern inside a city tower from 1564. With scenes from Stuttgart history and up-to-date 2026 information.
