Garnisonsschützenhaus

Garnisonsschützenhaus is a military building in Stuttgart featuring Swiss-style architecture with half-timbered facades and a corner tower at its core. The site occupies the northern edge of a former shooting range and includes several outbuildings and grounds from the original military complex.

The building was constructed in 1893 as a canteen and workshop for the Royal Stuttgart Garrison. It remained part of an active military complex that shaped this area for more than a century.

The building houses collections related to regional military history, with exhibitions in the carriage house telling the story of soldiers and their role in local life. Visitors can see how this place was woven into the community for many generations.

The site sits at the edge of a forest and connects to nearby train stations via walking paths through wooded terrain. If driving, parking is available along Karl-Kloss-Strasse, making it accessible for different types of visits.

Nine original shooting ranges survive on the grounds, having operated until 1969 and now standing as quiet reminders of the site's training past. These ranges clearly show how central this place was to military instruction decades ago.
