Welcome to the Stuttgart Region In the heart of Europe and SouthWest Germany 2|3
Welcome
to the Stuttgart Region View over Stuttgart
Fascinating and beautiful, cosmopolitan and charming,
traditional and future-oriented: the diversity of the Stutt-
gart Region makes it worth visiting more than once. Its
economy and its culture are equally thriving – whereby
the one is often interlinked with the other, as in the case
of the world-famous automobile brands whose names
are synonymous with the Stuttgart Region.
There‘s something to gratify all the senses here. Brilliant
achievements are evident at every turn: castles and pa-
laces bear witness to a great past – and bold, futuristic
architecture to an equally great present. The fine arts
have always been given ample room to flourish, and
many visitors are astonished at the wealth of outstan-
ding gems which the Stuttgart Region has to offer. The
regional cuisine also has much to delight, and the fa-
mous Württemberg wines are the ideal accompaniment
to its specialities.
So welcome to a particularly pleasant part of
the world: welcome to Swabia!

The Stuttgart region can look back on a century-long
tradition of wine growing, so there‘s no better place to
learn lots of interesting facts about the history of vini-

and of course to relax and sample some local wines. The
main varieties grown today in the Stuttgart region are
the popular red Trollinger and racy white wines such as
Riesling, Kerner, Silvaner or Müller-Thurgau. The nicest
