Stuttgart (Swabian: Schduagert) is the capital and largest city of the German state of Baden-Württemberg. Stuttgart is located on the Neckar river in a fertile valley known locally as the "Stuttgart Cauldron." It lies an hour from the Swabian Jura and the Black Forest. Its urban area has a population of 609,219, making it the sixth largest city in Germany. 2.7 million people live in the city's administrative region and another 5.3 million people in its metropolitan area, making it the fourth largest metropolitan area in Germany. The city and metropolitan area are consistently ranked among the top 20 European metropolitan areas by GDP; Mercer listed Stuttgart as 21st on its 2015 list of cities by quality of living, innovation agency 2thinknow ranked the city 24th globally out of 442 cities and the Globalization and World Cities Research Network ranked the city as a Beta-status world city in their 2014 survey.
Since the 6th millennium BC, the Stuttgart area has been an important agricultural area and has been host to a number of cultures seeking to utilize the rich soil of the Neckar valley. The Roman Empire conquered the area in 83 AD and built a massive castrum near Bad Cannstatt, making it the most important regional centre for several centuries. Stuttgart's roots were truly laid in the 10th century with its founding by Liudolf, Duke of Swabia, as a stud farm for his warhorses. Initially overshadowed by nearby Cannstatt, the town grew steadily and was granted a charter in 1320. The fortunes of Stuttgart turned with those of the House of Württemberg, and they made it the capital of their county, duchy, and kingdom from the 15th century to 1918. Stuttgart prospered despite setbacks in the Thirty Years' War and devastating air raids by the Allies on the city and its automobile production during World War II. However, by 1952, the city had bounced back and it became the major economic, industrial, tourism and publishing centre it is today.
Stuttgart is also a transport junction, and possesses the sixth-largest airport in Germany. Several major companies are headquartered in Stuttgart, including Porsche, Bosch, Mercedes-Benz, Daimler AG, and Dinkelacker.
Stuttgart is unusual in the scheme of German cities. It is spread across a variety of hills (some of them covered in vineyards), valleys (especially around the Neckar river and the Stuttgart basin) and parks. This often surprises visitors who associate the city with its reputation as the "cradle of the automobile". The city's tourism slogan is "Stuttgart offers more". Under current plans to improve transport links to the international infrastructure (as part of the Stuttgart 21 project), the city unveiled a new logo and slogan in March 2008 describing itself as "Das neue Herz Europas" ("The new Heart of Europe"). For business, it describes itself as "Where business meets the future". In July 2010, Stuttgart unveiled a new city logo, designed to entice more business people to stay in the city and enjoy breaks in the area.
Stuttgart is a city with a high number of immigrants. According to Dorling Kindersley's Eyewitness Travel Guide to Germany, "In the city of Stuttgart, every third inhabitant is a foreigner." 40% of Stuttgart's residents, and 64% of the population below the age of five, are of immigrant background.

Fernsehturm Stuttgart (English: Stuttgart TV Tower) is a 216.61 m (710.7 ft) telecommunications tower in Stuttgart, Germany. It was the first telecommunications tower in the world constructed from reinforced concrete, and it is the prototype for many such towers worldwide. Although controversial at first, it quickly became a well known landmark of Stuttgart and a tourist attraction.
Die Stiftskirche und der Fruchtkasten
Der so genannte Fruchtkasten, ein spätgotischer Steinbau am Schillerplatz, ist eines der ältesten erhaltenen Gebäude Stuttgarts.
Der Fruchtkasten wurde 1393 erstmals urkundlich als „große herrschaftliche Kelter hinter dem Stiftskirchhof“ erwähnt. Später wurde die Kelter als Fruchtkasten (Kornspeicher) genutzt. 1596 baute Heinrich Schickhardt im Auftrag von Herzog Friedrich I. den Schloss- und Kanzleiplatz. Im Rahmen dieser Maßnahmen wurden fünf Meter des Fruchtkastens abgetragen und die heutige Renaissancefassade errichtet. 1944/45 brannte der Fruchtkasten ab, beim Wiederaufbau in den 1950er Jahren wurde die Rückfront des Fruchtkastens abgerissen, um einen Heizungskeller einzurichten.
Heute wird die Musikinstrumentensammlung des Landesmuseums Württemberg im Fruchtkasten gezeigt.

Die in der Stuttgarter Innenstadt gelegene Stiftskirche ist die Hauptkirche der Evangelischen Landeskirche in Württemberg und Pfarrkirche der Stiftskirchengemeinde innerhalb des Kirchenkreises Stuttgart. Als Innenstadtkirche übernimmt sie weiterhin Aufgaben, die über ihre Parochie hinaus gehen. Der untere Teil des Südturms stellt das einzige erhaltene bauliche Zeugnis der Stauferzeit in Stuttgart dar. Mit ihren beiden ungleichen Türmen ist sie eines der Wahrzeichen der Stadt.

Unter den Lizenznehmern waren Daimler-Benz (ab 1961), General Motors (ab 1970) und Toyota (ab 1971).
In Japan lizenzierte der Hersteller Mazda den Motor und löste erfolgreich verschiedene Probleme im Zusammenhang mit Rattermarken.[9] Der Motor wurde von Mazda erfolgreich in mehreren Generationen seiner RX-Serie von Coupés und Limousinen eingesetzt, darunter der Mazda Cosmo (1967), R100 (1968), der RX-7 (1978-2002) und der RX-8 (2003-2012). Mazda plant die Wiedereinführung des Motors, wenn auch als Range Extender, in seinem MX-30 R-EV im Jahr 2023.[10]

Mazda has planned to reintroduce the engine, albeit as a range extender, in their MX-30 R-EV in 2023.[10]

Mercedes-Benz fitted one of its C111 experimental models in 1969 with a three-rotor Wankel engine. In 1970, the next model had a four-rotor Wankel engine and could reach top speed 290 km/h but never reached production.
Er verkaufte sein Institut für 100 Mio. DM an Daimler-Benz.
Mercedes-Benz rüstete 1969 eines seiner C111-Versuchsmodelle mit einem Dreirotor-Wankelmotor aus. Das nächste Modell von 1970 hatte einen Vierrotor-Wankelmotor und konnte eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von 290 km/h erreichen, ging aber nie in Serie.
Als Antrieb für Gurtstraffer wurden 1997 kleine druckgasbetriebene Einweg-Wankelmotoren verwendet, die VW in den Passat und Mercedes in seine S-Klasse einbaute.
Der Sachs-Wankelmotor KKM 48 wurde auch in die Zwillings-Flugabwehrkanone 20 x 139 RH 202 des Herstellers Rheinmetall eingebaut, die bis 1990 bei der Luftwaffe der Bundeswehr und in anderen europäischen Staaten eingesetzt war.

Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof (main station) was begun in 1914. The first phase was opened in 1922, and the second in 1928. The station, particularly the tower with the Mercedes-Benz star at the top, is a symbol of the city. (I do not know why the postcard cut the star off.)
The station faced Hindenburgplatz, the main streetcar (tram) junction in Stuttgart. It was renamed Arnulf-Klett-Platz in 1976, after Arnulf Klett, mayor of Stuttgart from 1945 to 1974. I usually visited the Bräuning family when I came to Stuttgart. I walked out of the station and waited for a No. 6 streetcar, which took me within two blocks of their home in Weilimdorf (also called Giebel and Gerlingen) in the western part of Stuttgart. The depot is now underground, and I believe that the No. 6 streetcar is called U6 (for "subway").
There is a big American car at lower right, probably from the late 1950s. Most American cars belonged to U.S. military personnel. If you drove past the station, turned right, and went up the hill on Heilbronner Strasse (B27), you reached Robinson Barracks in a few kilometers. In the 1960s, Robinson Barracks was the largest U.S. Army post in Stuttgart, and Seventh Army headquarters.
The No. 6 streetcar turned onto Heilbronner Strasse and passed Robinson Barracks. The yellow streetcar train is probably not No. 6. That line did not have high traffic. As I remember, there was one powered car and perhaps one trailer.

Schlossplatz is the largest square in Stuttgart Mitte and home to the Neues Schloss which was built between 1746 and 1807. From its construction until the mid-1800s it was used as a military parade ground and not open to general public use. It stands next to two other popular squares in Stuttgart: Karlsplatz to the south and Schillerplatz to the south west. The Königstraße (King Street) bisects the plaza from north to south.
The Neues Schloss Palace and grounds have been public property since 1918.
Along with much of Stuttgart Mitte, Neues Schloss was heavily damaged during the Allied Bombing of World War II and the building was restored from 1958-1964 with a modernized interior that houses the ministries of Culture and the Treasury for the government of Baden-Württemberg.
Until the 1960s the King Street that bisects the plaza carried auto and truck traffic. Since that time the Stuttgart underground has built an underground station and tunnels were built to redirect traffic away from the plaza and Königstraße.
The entire square was last fully renovated in 1977 to mark the staging of the Bundesgartenschau (State Garden Show) in Stuttgart. The lawns and flowerbeds were renewed in 2006 following the staging of the 2006 World Cup Finals.
