About Stuttgart-Ost
Where to stay in Stuttgart-Ost
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Eugensplatz and the streets around the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart mark the two ends of a stay in Stuttgart-Ost, one a square with the district's own life and the other a museum quarter. Most visitors come for the museums. A bed taken for the Neue Staatsgalerie also serves the City Museum of Stuttgart and the Schellenturm, while Eugensplatz suits anyone who wants the district rather than its exhibits.
About Stuttgart-Ost
What are the main landmarks in Stuttgart-Ost?
Three galleries share one name in Stuttgart-Ost, the Alte Staatsgalerie, the Neue Staatsgalerie and the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, and the House of History Baden-Württemberg and the City Museum of Stuttgart stand with them. Not every landmark is a museum. The Schellenturm, the Loriot Memorial and the König-Wilhelm-Denkmal count among the district's other marks, with Robert-Bosch-Haus and the Museum of the Germans from Bessarabia and Dobruja completing the list.
What is the history of Stuttgart-Ost?
The Schellenturm is the one tower among the district's landmarks, standing apart from the galleries around it, while the König-Wilhelm-Denkmal keeps a royal name fixed in the same streets. Two museums make that explicit. The House of History Baden-Württemberg sets out the state's past, and the Museum of the Germans from Bessarabia and Dobruja keeps the record of one community named in its own title.
Where is Stuttgart-Ost?
Stuttgart-Ost takes its name from the city's east, a district holding Eugensplatz and the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart.
