Eugensplatz, Square and scenic viewpoint in Stuttgart, Germany

Eugensplatz is a square and scenic viewpoint in central Stuttgart centered around the grand Galatea Fountain on stone-paved ground. The plaza is framed by historic buildings and offers several vantage points for viewing the city.

The square is named after Wilhelm Eugen von Württemberg, a staff officer of the kingdom. The Galatea Fountain has stood on the square since 1890 and counts among the city's most ornate fountains. In 2013 a limestone column about three metres high was added, recalling Loriot, who lived near the square from 1938 to 1941; citizens later donated a bronze pug.

A bronze pug was later added through citizen donations, referencing his line "A life without a pug is possible, but pointless."

Eugensplatz is served by its own Stadtbahn tram stop of the same name, not an underground station. The Eugenstaffel stairway ends at the square, so the climb from the city centre is on foot. The sloping site gives views over the centre of Stuttgart.

The Eugenstaffel stairway guides visitors through different elevation levels, revealing fresh perspectives of the city with each step. This hidden route transforms the climb into an unexpected exploration of Stuttgart.
