Stuttgarter Schriftstellerhaus, Literary center in Stuttgart-Mitte, Germany.

The Stuttgarter Schriftstellerhaus is a literary institution housed in a listed 17th-century building at Kanalstraße 4 in Stuttgart's Bohnenviertel. The four-story structure has a nearly square plan and is only 4.98 meters wide. It contains event rooms and a small apartment on the top floor for visiting writers.

The building on Kanalstraße 4 dates from the 17th century and is a protected monument. Poet Johannes Poethen and architect Johannes Wetzel persuaded mayor Manfred Rommel and state premier Lothar Späth to save it from demolition during the old town renovation. After renovation it was handed to the Stuttgarter Schriftstellerhaus association on 4 October 1983.

Since 2012 the house has organised the festival "Stuttgart liest ein Buch" every two to three years, based on Chicago's "One city – one book" idea; previous picks include Judith Schalansky's "Der Hals der Giraffe" (2015). Fellows are expected to introduce themselves to Stuttgart's literary public and contribute to the blog "Kanalstraße 4".

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.

The building is less than 5 meters wide, making it one of the narrowest cultural buildings in the city. This unusual proportion gives it a hidden quality, nestled between the taller structures around Charlottenplatz.
