Dank des Farbanschlages auf das Denkmal am Karlsplatz, schaffte es Kaisers Wilhelm I. auch noch in diese Reihung ;-)
Aufnahmen entstanden am "Christopher Street Day" in Stuttgart, zeigen aber das Geschehen nur am Rande.

Pictured, the Stuttgart Exchange in Germany, 1953.
In the late 1940s after World War II as hundreds and thousands of U.S. troops and their families moved to Germany to help the country rebuild, dozens of military installations popped up on which they were based. Each installation, such as the U.S. Army Garrison at Stuttgart, had an exchange.
The installations also served as Cold War deterrents to Soviet aggression. For example, food trucks from the Berlin Exchange would deliver sandwiches and drinks to the tarmacs for American pilots participating in the Berlin Airlift of 1948-49.
As the Soviet Union crumbled in the late 1980s and early 1990s, many of the U.S. installations closed.
Today, the Army & Air Force Exchange Service still operates stores at Stuttgart, Ansbach, Ramstein AB and other major installations in Germany.
weissenhofsiedlung, stuttgart, 1927, artistic direction: ludwig mies van der rohe
house 13, 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

Stuttgarter Neues Schloß, Corps de Logis
Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg sollte das Neue Schloß in Stuttgart abgerissen werden. "Modern" eingestellte Architekten meinten, das Schloß sei ein Zeichen des Absolutismus und nicht mehr zeitgemäß in einer Demokratie. Die Befürworter des Wiederaufbaus dagegen wollten diesen Teil des alten Stadtbilds retten und setzten sich durch: Das Neue Schloß wurde von 1958 bis 1964 wieder aufgebaut. Die Stuttgarter Bürger verhinderten den Kahlschlag, sonst müßte heute nicht nur in Berlin ein "Palast der Republik" abgerissen werden, sondern auch im Herzen der Landeshauptstadt.
Herzog Carl Eugen von Württemberg (1744-1793) ließ mit dem Neuen Schloß die letzte große barocke Residenzschloßanlage im Heiligen Römischen Reich deutscher Nation erbauen. Von der Stadt und der württembergischen Ständevertretung hatte er die Errichtung einer »standesgemäßen, seiner fürstlichen Dignität convenablen und dem Umfang Dero Hofstaats hinlänglichen Wohnung« verlangt, denn er wollte Stuttgart zu einem zweiten Versailles machen.
Am 3. September 1746 wurde der Grundstein gelegt. Baumeister war Leopoldo Matteo Retti, ein Neffe von Donato Giovanni Frisoni, dem Erbauer des Ludwigsburger Schlosses. Retti errichtete zwischen 1746 und 1751 den Hauptbau, das sogenannte Corps de Logis und den Gartenflügel. Dabei orientierte er sich an der zeitgenössischen Architektur Frankreichs. Um den Mittelbau schlossen sich, einen hufeisenförmigen Ehrenhof bildend, die beiden Seitenflügel an. Die dreiflügelige Anlage ist ein typischer Vertreter ihrer Zeit: Einziger Schmuck an der schlichten Fassade sind die Skulpturen auf den Balustraden. Nach dem Tod Rettis führte Philippe de la Guêpière den Bau fort. Er vollendete bis 1756 den Stadtflügel im Rohbau, setzte 1760 dem Mittelbau die Kuppel auf und schuf bis 1762 die Rokoko-Dekorationen im Gartenflügel und zum Teil im Corps de Logis.
Nach einem Brand im November 1762 verfügte Herzog Carl Eugen den raschen Ausbau von Weißem Saal und Spiegelgalerie im Stadtflügel, um ein Jahr später für seine Geburtstagsfeierlichkeiten den angemessenen Rahmen zu erhalten. Dann aber wurden die Arbeiten am Neuen Schloß für ein Jahrzehnt eingestellt, weil Carl Eugen 1764 die Residenz nach Ludwigsburg verlegte und erst 1775 nach Stuttgart zurückkehrte. Es folgten der Bau des Marmorsaales und des Gartenflügels.
Nachdem Herzog Friedrich II. 1806 König von Württemberg geworden war, ließ er die Räume im Neuen Schloß durch Nikolaus Friedrich von Thouret im Empire Stil umgestalten.
Am 15. April 1920 kam in einer Dachwohnung des Neuen Schlosses Richard von Weizsäcker zur Welt, der von 1984 bis 1994 deutscher Bundespräsident war. Sein Großvater diente als letzter Ministerpräsident des Königreichs Württemberg dem beliebten König Wilhelm II., der nach seiner erzwungenen Abdankung am 30. November 1918 den Stuttgartern nie verzieh, wie sie ihn im Stich ließen. Selbst als Toter wollte er Stuttgart nicht mehr betreten, weshalb der Leichenzug 1921 vom Kloster Bebenhausen nach Ludwigsburg einen Umweg um die Landeshauptstadt herum nehmen mußte.

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.
