Stuttgarter Schriftstellerhaus, Literary center in Stuttgart-Mitte, Germany.
Description
The Stuttgarter Schriftstellerhaus is a literary center in central Stuttgart located behind the Charlottenplatz high-rise. The four-story brick building occupies a narrow footprint among the city's cultural institutions.
History
The building dates from the 17th century and faced demolition for many years. In 1983 it became Germany's first writers' house, securing its preservation.
Culture
The house serves as a meeting place for writers and readers who gather for readings and literary conversations. Ground floor rooms host these events, while visiting authors stay in accommodations on the upper floors.
Practical
The center is easily accessible by public transportation near several tram lines serving Charlottenplatz. Visitors should check in advance when events are happening, as the house is primarily used for readings and gatherings.
