Stuttgart 21 Rail Hub Project is a controversial development. The project will replace Stuttgart's historic railway terminus with a through station, largely underground, integrating into Europe's Paris-Vienna trunk route. Opponents of the scheme argue that the billions it is costing would be better spent on modernising smaller stations and regional lines. The development will destroy a large section of the city park, require the uprooting of many very old and beautiful trees, and threaten mineral water sources. Part of the historic railway terminus building will also be demolished.
In 2010, a demonstration by many thousands of Stuttgart residence ended in controversy as a result of a heavy-handed police response in which a 66 year old engineer, Dietrict Wagner, was effectively blinded when he was hit in the face at close range by a water canon blast. In February this year, Dietrict travelled to Britain to warn Boris Johnson against controversial plans to deploy water canon in London.

weissenhofsiedlung, stuttgart, 1927, artistic direction: ludwig mies van der rohe
house 14, 15, architect: le corbusier and pierre jeanneret
The Weissenhofsiedlung is one of the most significant landmarks left by the movement known as "Neues Bauen”. The development was erected in 1927 as a residential building exhibition arranged by the City of Stuttgart and the Deutscher Werkbund. Working under the artistic direction of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, seventeen architects created an exemplary residential scheme for modern urban residents.
The architects participating in the exhibition - including Le Corbusier, Gropius, Mies van der Rohe, Scharoun and others - were known at that time only in those circles devoted to the international avantgarde. Today they are amongst the most notable masters of modern architecture. To be found at the Weissenhof development are numerous homes built by these architects, all in close proximity one to another. And that's what makes this residential development unique around the world.
The ever-changing story of the Weissenhofsiedlung reflects the societal and cultural changes of the Twentieth Century. Largely shunned during the Third Reich, destroyed in part during World War II, the development was later approached with a lack of understanding for its precepts. It was only in 1958 that the Weissenhofsiedlung was enrolled in the register of historical monuments , excursion aeta autobahn, day 03
