Stuttgarter Stadtgeschichten

In the organizer's words:

The permanent exhibition "Stuttgart City Stories" illuminates the city's history from the end of the 18th century to the present day from many perspectives.

The huge city model turns present-day Stuttgart into a multimedia experience. In the city talks about freedom of the press, electrification or hip-hop, the people of Stuttgart from back then have their say in radio plays and exciting objects. The interactive stations "Geist" and "Gestalt" allow buildings and things from Stuttgart to tell their story - from Filderkohl to Solitude Palace. Pieces from the last 200 years of Stuttgart's past unfold their authentic magic in the century rooms.

Everything here revolves around the questions: What makes Stuttgart so special? What were and are the people of Stuttgart like? And how does one actually become a Stuttgarter?

The exhibition tells the story of the state capital from the end of the 18th century to the present day with authentic exhibits: From the social and technical progress of the rapidly growing royal residence city to the city of fine dust. From the inventors and the industrial metropolis of the founding years to the social commitment of the residents to the poor and sick or to working-class children in the summer retreats of the forest homes. Nothing is left out that has moved the people of Stuttgart: the hard-won freedom of the press, the courageous gay movement, the deaths of the RAF, the Nazi era or the unresolved question of the city's foundation. And the question of who the people of Stuttgart are is also addressed.

The tour begins with a large multimedia model of the city. Here, visitors can find their way around the city. All around, in the "City Talks", there are objects and audio plays to discover. At the interactive "Geist" and "Gestalt" stations, visitors can pick up models and read them from media tables to discover the exciting stories behind them. In the two mirror-image "Century Rooms", the narrative becomes a visual pleasure with a dense variety of exhibits.

The exhibition can be seen on the 1st floor of the StadtPalais.
