Stuttgart

One of the largest industrial centers in Germany, the city of Stuttgart (Stuttgart) is known worldwide as the cradle of the auto giants Mercedes-Benz and Porsche. But not only the release of the best cars determines the exclusivity of the metropolis. In his appearance there are many features with signs of superlatives:

Stuttgart (Germany)

The city is considered the greenest in Europe, it is characterized by the highest level of prosperity in Germany, its main street Königstrasse is the longest pedestrian zone in Germany, the reserves of medicinal mineral water of the Cannstatt complex are the largest in Western Europe, the planetarium of the city is the most technically equipped in the world, and the Stuttgart State Theater is the largest in Europe. In the metropolis, everything is presented at the highest level, whether it be museums, cuisine, shopping or cultural life.

The city of "superlatives" is the capital of Baden-Württemberg in the south-west of Germany. It was founded at the end of the 10th century, when the Swabian Duke Ludolph built a stud farm on the site of the current industrial center. Thanks to this fact, a magnificent horse flaunts on the coat of arms of Stuttgart. If we recall in what units the power of automobile engines is measured, the image can be considered not only a historical, but also a modern symbol of the city.

Stuttgart is located in the Neckar River Valley and is surrounded by hills covered with dense forests. Huge "green lungs" provide a clean breath of the metropolis, and the hilly area creates a soft and warm microclimate in which grapes mature perfectly. Products of its processing, including the famous Trollinger, can be tasted in late August, when the city hosts a grand celebration of wine - Weindorf.

Stuttgart has positioned itself as the automobile capital, starting from the Main Station: tourists are greeted by a huge dome with a turret crowned by the famous Mercedes star.

The historical sights of the city are revealed in the Schlossplatz square, where the Jubilee Column is installed, which perpetuated in 1841 the 25th anniversary of the reign of King William I.

On the south side of the square is the Old Castle, which was erected in the XIV century and served as the residence of the Württemberg dukes and counts. Today it houses the Württemberg Museum, whose expositions are dedicated to archaeological finds, the history of costume, luxury goods, icon painting, sculpture.

Nearby are the New Castle - a magnificent example of the baroque of the XVIII century - and the Royal Palace of the second half of the XIX century, built in the style of classicism.

Stuttgart's historic architectural symbol is Monastery churchknown since the XII century and characterized by the heterogeneity of the towers. The Old National Gallery of the city contains works of art from the Middle Ages to the 19th century, and the New National Gallery presents a collection of contemporary creations, including a unique collection of Picasso paintings.

Among the objects that can not be missed in Stuttgart, one should mention the Rosenstein Palace, Solitude Castle, Wilhelm Zoo and Botanical Garden, where more than 10 thousand species of fauna and flora are presented, as well as the Mercedes-Benz Automotive Museum.

Stuttgart has another characteristic feature - a musical one. Bach International Academy, chamber orchestra, philharmonic society, various pop groups and jazz ensembles are integral touches of its image. Music is constantly being played here, which, like everything in this city, is excellent.
