🇩🇪 Stuttgart Hbf

Major

Germany

Baden-Württemberg's state capital is served by Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof, registered under UIC code 8029034 and built between 1914 and 1928 to designs by Paul Bonatz. Its heavy limestone massing and free-standing clock tower made the building one of the defining works of German railway architecture between the wars, and the tower remains a fixed point in the city skyline. ICE services join Stuttgart with Frankfurt, Munich, Zürich, and Paris, while regional trains work outward across Swabia and the Neckar valley. The station is being rebuilt as part of Stuttgart 21, a long-running and much-disputed project that replaces the terminus with an underground through station set at right angles to the old platforms. Stuttgart Hbf stands at roughly 48.78 degrees north and 9.18 degrees east, in the Europe/Berlin time zone.
