Funkhaus Stuttgart

Funkhaus Stuttgart is a broadcasting center in Stuttgart-Ost with 18 floors and a distinctive blue and silver facade that serves as headquarters for Südwestrundfunk. The building houses radio studios for various programs and numerous editorial offices distributed across multiple levels.

The building was constructed between 1972 and 1976 following a design by architect Rolf Gutbrod and replaced the former city hall that previously stood in the Berg district. This new construction marked a transformation of the neighborhood and Stuttgart's growth as a media center.

The building shapes the skyline of Stuttgart-Ost and functions as a place where radio broadcasts are created daily. Its architectural design and role as headquarters for a major regional broadcaster make it a visible symbol of media production in the area.

The building is located in an easily accessible area of Stuttgart-Ost and can be reached by public transportation. Visitors should note that it is an active working building and not all areas are open to the public.

A distinctive feature of the building is the triangular glass window known as 'God's Eye' that directs natural light into specific areas of the complex. This architectural element often goes unnoticed by visitors but adds a special visual quality to the structure.
