Boerse Stuttgart, Stock exchange in Stuttgart, Germany
Börse Stuttgart is Germany's third-largest trading venue after Xetra and Tradegate, handling around €121 billion in 2025 across structured securities, shares, bonds, ETFs and funds. It operates from the Carl Eugen Bau in Stuttgart and, through its group, runs NGM in Sweden and BX Swiss in Switzerland.
The first predecessor was founded on 12 March 1860, when textile merchants met in the Königsbau; the Stuttgarter Börsenverein followed on 11 February 1861. A May 1877 decree by King Charles I of Württemberg and the city council authorised exchange and brokerage regulations, after which courts recognised the prices set there. Trading stopped during World War I until 1919 and again for several months in 1931; after air raids forced a move in 1944, business resumed in November 1945 in the burnt-out building of the Württembergische Landeskreditanstalt. Electronic processing of transactions began in 1974.
The exchange's name comes from the Stuttgarter Börsenverein, founded on 11 February 1861 after textile merchants first met in the Königsbau on 12 March 1860. Since 1866 Württemberg's daily newspapers printed a daily stock exchange price quote sheet, and in 1881 the first official quote sheet appeared. The Euwax trading segment for securitised derivatives, established in 1999, is named after the Euwax AG broker.
Börse Stuttgart has no public visitor programme; trading runs electronically, so there is no floor to watch. Its premises are in Stuttgart, with group offices in Berlin, Frankfurt, Ljubljana, Milan, Madrid, Stockholm and Zürich. The exchange is supervised by Baden-Württemberg's economics ministry, its independent trading surveillance unit and BaFin.
The Bison app, launched in January 2019, was the first cryptocurrency trading app in Europe backed by a traditional stock exchange. Users buy and sell 63 cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum and Litecoin through Euwax AG as broker, while Börse Stuttgart Digital Custody GmbH holds the coins in trust.
