Feuerbacher Heide, Public park in Stuttgart Nord, Germany.
Feuerbacher Heide is a park-like green space on the northern slope of the Gähkopf (409 m) in Stuttgart's Nord district, facing Feuerbach. It consists mainly of meadows grazed seasonally by sheep, plus a Schrebergarten (allotment) area, and runs from the Feuerbacher Heide street in the west to the TC Weissenhof tennis club grounds in the east, bounded north by Am Kräherwald.
The area was formerly known as Frauenberger Heide and became the subject of boundary disputes in the 15th century. The land served for centuries as grazing ground and farmland for local communities.
The name comes from the nearby district of Feuerbach in north Stuttgart. Visitors see sheep grazing on the meadows during certain seasons, keeping alive a traditional way of caring for the landscape.
The meadow lies between the Feuerbacher Heide street in the west and the TC Weissenhof tennis grounds in the east, bounded to the north by Am Kräherwald. A green link connects it northeast to the Höhenpark Killesberg. The open areas west of Feuerbacher Weg have been a protected landscape area since 10 November 1961, covering 21.3 hectares.
A tower at the highest point offers views across Stuttgart and serves as a long-standing viewing destination. Visitors have come here for generations to see the city panorama.
