Stadtgarten Stuttgart, Urban park in central Stuttgart, Germany
Stadtgarten Stuttgart is an urban park in the city center with three hectares of landscaped grounds, walking paths, flower beds, and fountains situated next to the university campus. The space connects to Hoppenlau Cemetery via an underground passageway and includes a parking facility constructed between 1972 and 1974.
The park hosted the first Württemberg Garden Exhibition in 1870 and was officially inaugurated in May 1871 under Garden Director Adolf Wagner. This early development established the park as a central green space for the city.
The paths through the park are named after Joseph von Egle and Max Kade. A memorial stone by Herbert Göser, placed in 1988, commemorates Lilo Herrmann, the resistance fighter executed by the Nazis in 1938. Among the sculptures are Karl Kurtz's three sandstone figures of 1879 representing sculpture, mechanical engineering and astronomy.
The park lies between the university's city-centre campus and the Hoppenlaufriedhof, which it reaches through an underpass, forming an almost continuous green strip. Two paths cross it, named after Joseph von Egle and Max Kade. A car park with a petrol station and restaurant was built on the Kriegsbergstrasse side between 1972 and 1974.
The two main pathways crossing through the park are named after Joseph von Egle and Max Kade, connecting different moments of the city's history. This naming honors individuals who shaped Stuttgart's development.
