シュトゥットガルト周辺のおすすめ交通量の少ないサイクリングルート

A walk through the Weissenhof Estate reveals the diverse ideas behind the houses built in 1927 and explains their significant role in architectural history. A wayfinding system guides visitors through the estate, providing information about the privately owned houses that are therefore not open to the public. Only the double house by Le Corbusier and Pierre Jeanneret can be visited as a museum. The floor plans from the 1927 book "Building and Living" form the basis for the information displayed on the wayfinding system's steles. Ten of the original 33 houses were destroyed during and after the war and replaced with new buildings.

This was my third visit to the museum. This time, I enjoyed an excellent guided tour led by a very friendly young woman—I believe she's an art historian. I'll double-check this and correct myself if necessary. She provided a wealth of detailed information about the period and, of course, the museum itself. The tour lasted about an hour and a half, and the time flew by. Highly recommended!

What's special about this museum is that the exhibition brings to life the revolutionary ideas that were at odds with the zeitgeist of the time. The crowning glory, of course, is the LeCorbusier House, restored to its original condition. I recognize his formal language in many of today's modern buildings.

A must-see for art and architecture enthusiasts, and for those who simply want to experience the contemporary history of the 1920s in a tangible way. Curiously, many of the building techniques pioneered at that time were forgotten for decades. It's astonishing how buildings that are considered modern today were actually built in this form a hundred years ago.

It's very interesting to see the revolutionary housing and building ideas presented in Stuttgart around 100 years ago. The "Grand Tour," which also includes a short walk past other buildings in the ensemble, is worthwhile. Much of what we consider modern or practical living today was already being put into practice by the Werkbund architects back then, and they were far ahead of their time.

From the Blue Trail there are always beautiful views towards Heslach, the TV tower and the landscape in the valley.

The Hasenbergsteige trail once formed the main traffic route to Calw, along which wine was once grown. Starting at the Gänsepeterbrunnen fountain, the Hasenbergsteige first runs to the saddle between Hasenberg and Karlshöhe. From there, it continues uphill, crossing the Schwab Tunnel and later admiring the impressive view of the Vogelsang Valley and the north and east of the city from a viewing platform (Hasenbergsteige 50).

Good to know that bikers, hikers and pedestrians meet there, there are also delicious snacks here, great idea.
