Driving to Schloßplatz through Stuttgart City from Stuttgart-Untertürkheim (Germany). Captured in 4K Quality.

Schloßplatz Location

The square divides the approx. 1.2 km long main pedestrian area of ​​Stuttgart, the Königstraße into the lower Königstraße towards the main station and the upper Königstraße in the direction of Rotebühlplatz.

On the southern side of the square, the planie runs at right angles to Königstraße. This traffic-calmed street in the area of ​​the Schlossplatz connects the Schlossplatz at the adjoining Karlsplatz and Charlottenplatz, where it flows into the main roads running there. It should be noted that many of the straight roadsets in the city center do not have an exact compass orientation; this also applies to the facades of the New Palace and the sides of the square. The Königstraße leads from its upper end in the south in the direction of north northeast to the main station.
building

The palace square consists of a baroque garden with fountain and music pavilion. In the center is a 30-meter-high anniversary column with a figure of the goddess Concordia from 1841. The square was redesigned in 1977 on the occasion of the Federal Horticultural Show and has remained until today in this form.

Towards the east, the New Palace with its main courtyard forms the conclusion of the square. In the extension of the New Palace, separated by a traffic axis, the Old Castle on the south side joins - in the west the Old Chancellery with the Mercury Column, which was built in 1598 as a water tower for the well works of the Lustgarten. The gilded figure of a youth dates from 1862.

On the north side of the New Palace, the exhibition building of the Württembergischer Kunstverein follows at a right angle. Next to it rises the Queen Olga Building, where for many years a bank had its Stuttgart headquarters (namely the Dresdner Bank).

On the northwest corner is the Marquardtbau, which formerly served as a hotel and next to the 1922 was the first Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof. The building was rebuilt after the war in a simplified form. It opens, so to speak, the continuation of the Königsstraße to the east. Today there are, among other things, the comedy in Marquardt and a cinema. On the square stands on this corner an equestrian statue of Duke Christoph.

Directly opposite the New Palace, the square in the west along Königstraße is bordered by the Königsbau. The two buildings are the most striking of the square and contribute significantly to its appearance. The late Classicist royal building was built in 1855-1859 by court architects Johann Michael Knapp and Christian Leins. Directly - seen from the square - behind it opened in April 2006, the ten-storey shopping center Königsbau Passagen with 25,000 m2 of retail space.
