Stuttgart: Stuttgart-West
Few places in Baden-Württemberg have a history as closely tied to the automobile industry as Stuttgart. Stuttgart-West occupies the rising ground west of the city centre, where compact nineteenth- and early-twentieth-century residential streets climb the sides of the Stuttgart basin. The district is part of a city shaped by the Nesenbach valley and surrounding wooded hills; the Neckar flows through Stuttgart’s eastern districts. At Feuersee, the Gothic Revival Johanneskirche forms a prominent civic landmark. Stuttgart is the home of Mercedes-Benz and Porsche, and its industrial development transformed a former Württemberg royal residence into one of Germany’s leading engineering centres. Hillside quarters, vineyards and parkland give the city its distinctive folded urban form.

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.

Baden-Württemberg is best known within Germany for the Black Forest, the wooded upland region that shapes much of the state’s southwest. Its terrain also reaches from the Upper Rhine plain and its wine-growing areas to the limestone ridges of the Swabian Jura, while Lake Constance marks part of the southern frontier. Stuttgart, the state capital, is closely tied to the automobile industry and hosts the Mercedes-Benz Museum and Porsche Museum. Heidelberg’s old town and castle add another important strand to the region’s identity, alongside renowned universities, spas and regional cooking.

Germany stretches from the North Sea and Baltic Sea coasts to the Alps on its southern border, encompassing northern plains, river valleys and forested uplands. The Rhine, Danube and Elbe have long connected its regions, while the Black Forest and Bavarian Alps give the south a more dramatic relief. Berlin’s Brandenburg Gate and Museum Island reflect the capital’s role in German history and culture. Cologne Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, rises above the Rhine, and the Bauhaus movement, founded in Weimar in 1919, transformed modern design far beyond Germany. Regional cooking, Christmas markets and brewing traditions bring further character to daily life. Browse additional webcams from the surrounding area to extend your view of Germany.
