Your New Home

What distinguishes Stuttgart and what makes the city so likeable? Everyone is sure to have a different answer to this. For us it is primarily the people from over 170 nations who live together peacefully and collectively organise the activities and initiatives. More than half of all children and young people in Stuttgart come from a migrant background. 

There are many parks and green areas, a great cultural scene, iconic city districts with a bustling club scene, vineyards in the heart of the city, mineral baths for relaxation and much more - in short: the city is all about a high quality of life. Stuttgart is modern, urban, cosmopolitan, sustainable and sometimes also a little edgy. A great city with that certain something and a great place to live. 

In any event, we want you to discover "your" Stuttgart and gradually embrace this city with your people, because we want Stuttgart to be your home.

Stuttgart's city districts

Stuttgart has 23 city districts. Each one of these city districts has its own charm and character: ranging from metropolitan to rural. Many Stuttgart residents have a strong affinity with their city district. 

City Hall (Rathaus)

Stuttgart City Hall is located on Marktplatz in the heart of the city. The Lord Mayor, Dr. Frank Nopper, has his office here. Public council meetings are held every other Thursday in the large chamber of City Hall. Stuttgart has 60 city councillors who are elected every five years. They make decisions on all the important matters in the city and set the framework for the actions of the city administration led by the Lord Mayor.

City Hall is an open house for its visitors: you can attend many events and exhibitions there.
