Stuttgart

In Baden-Württemberg, few cities have histories as tightly bound to the automobile industry as Stuttgart. The city occupies a bowl-shaped setting of wooded hills and valleys near the Neckar, rather than the flat terrain often associated with German urban centres. Mercedes-Benz was founded here in 1926 after the merger of Daimler-Motoren-Gesellschaft and Benz & Cie.; the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Bad Cannstatt traces this legacy, while Porsche also has its headquarters in Stuttgart. At the centre, Schlossplatz and the New Palace recall the city’s former role as the seat of Württemberg rulers.
