History of Stuttgart
The oldest traces of settlement can be found in the Cannstatt district. Already in the 1st century AD, there was a Roman fortress here, which served as a protection for the intersection of important trade routes. In 260, the fortress was destroyed by German raids, thus ending the era of Roman settlement. The city of Stuttgart itself was then founded in 950 by Duke Herzog Luidolf of Swabia. Hermann V. von Baden promoted Stuttgart to a city in the middle of the 13th century. Until 1918, Stuttgart was the capital and seat of the Württemberg family. After 1918 it became the capital of the Free State of Württemberg. Anglo-American air forces significantly damaged the city towards the end of World War II. Stuttgart became the capital of Württemberg-Baden in 1946. In 1952, it became the capital of the state of Baden-Württemberg.

Near Stuttgart, in a place called Leinfelden-Echterdingen, you will find an airport serving flights to leading German and European capitals such as London, Barcelona, Lisbon, but also to Istanbul or Palma de Mallorca. The best way to get to the center of Stuttgart is by public transport. Transport in the city is provided by buses, trams and the so-called suburban railway S-Bahn. You won't find a metro here, but the S-Bahn lines, which are underground in the center and several lines converge on it, perform a very similar function.
