Schillerplatz

Schillerplatz is a paved central square at the heart of Stuttgart, surrounded by several buildings that define the city's character. A memorial to the poet sits in the middle, framed by grand architecture and open spaces designed for pedestrians.

The site began about 1000 years ago as a horse breeding ground near Stuttgart's first brick building. It received its current name in 1934 after the city had undergone significant changes.

The square is named after German poet Friedrich Schiller and draws people daily who walk, sit, and watch the world around them. The surrounding historic buildings frame a place that matters deeply to the city and its residents.

The square is fully accessible to pedestrians and offers several seating areas where you can enjoy your surroundings. Parking and public transport are nearby if you arrive with luggage or need to travel on.

The memorial at the center was created in 1839 by a Danish sculptor and was Germany's first monument to Schiller. Many visitors don't realize this artwork from the early 19th century put the city on the cultural map at the time.
