Bad Cannstatt

Bad Cannstatt is a district in eastern Stuttgart, Germany. The quarter spreads on both sides of the Neckar with a spa park, old core and vineyard slopes that appear directly within built-up areas.

Roman troops built a fort here in 98 AD to secure the ford. The village became a market town in the Middle Ages and received city rights in 1330, before incorporation into Stuttgart in 1905.

The name comes from the Roman term Condistat and today refers to a quarter where vineyards reach into residential areas. Small wine cellars and seasonal taverns open their doors following traditional autumn patterns.

Public transport connects the district to downtown, including three subway lines from Wilhelmsplatz. The spa park lies within walking distance from the station, while hillside vineyards offer footpaths for walks.

Nineteen mineral springs make the area the second largest mineral water concentration in Europe after Budapest. The springs feed baths and public fountains whose water is freely accessible for drinking.
