Description
Pharus-Plan of Stuttgart in 1917 : the capital of the Kingdom of Württemberg, its central railway station, the castle park (Schlossgarten), Rosenstein Park and the surrounding hills.
This Pharus-Plan shows Stuttgart in 1917. At that time, the city was the capital of the Kingdom of Württemberg (Königreich Württemberg), part of the German Empire, under the reign of King William II of Württemberg. Today, it is located in the state of Baden-Württemberg (Bade-Württemberg), of which it is the capital and largest city. Its population passed the 300,000 mark during World War I.
Stuttgart's history at the beginning of the 20th century was marked by exceptional industrial and technological growth, becoming the global birthplace of the automobile with iconic figures such as Gottlieb Daimler and Robert Bosch. Nestled in a verdant basin surrounded by hills and vineyards, the royal city harmoniously combines its princely heritage — symbolized by the Old Castle (Altes Schloss) and the New Castle (Neues Schloss) — with rapid industrial modernization. In 1917, the city was undergoing a major transformation, notably with the construction of its monumental new central railway station (Hauptbahnhof).
Places and neighborhoods shown:
-
The historic center and royal castles: the Schlossplatz, the Old Castle (Altes Schloss), the New Castle (Neues Schloss) and the major public buildings are shown in three-dimensional drawings in the center of the plan.
-
The central railway station (Haupt-Bhf) and the castle park (Schlossgarten): the Hauptbahnhof, highlighted in red, borders the vast royal gardens of the Schlossgarten, which stretch to the northeast.
-
Rosenstein Park and the Wilhelma zoological garden: to the northeast, the map encompasses the vast Rosenstein Park estate and its green spaces along the Neckar.
-
The West and South neighborhoods: the straight streets of the Stuttgart-West neighborhood and the suburbs extending south to Heslach and the wooded hills of the Bopser.
-
The East hills and neighborhoods: the map highlights the districts of Ostheim, Gablenberg and Berg on the eastern slopes of the basin.
-
The terrain and wooded massifs: the city's distinctive topography stands out through the representation of the valleys, the hillside slopes and the surrounding forests to the south (Hasenberg, Dornhalde).
-
The railways and tram lines: the extensive railway network, the rack railway (Zahnradbahn) and the trams (Straßenbahn) are carefully mapped.
Cartographic reference: this "Pharus-Plan Stuttgart" at scale 1:11,000 is part of the same series as the plans of Berlin, Frankfurt, Hanover, Kiel, Leipzig, Lübeck, Magdeburg, Munich, Stettin, Aachen, Bremen, Breslau, Koblenz, Cologne, Darmstadt, Dresden, Duisburg and Düsseldorf from 1917, with the railway stations in red and the buildings drawn in perspective. The banner of the Magdeburgische Zeitung crowns and borders the map ("Größtes politisches und Handelsblatt Mitteldeutschlands"), and the legend indicates the exit routes for cars and bicycles in orange, with orange labels pointing toward neighboring cities. A grid of letters and numbers allows each location to be identified.
In short: for anyone with ties to Stuttgart or Baden-Württemberg, interested in automotive history, the royal heritage of Württemberg, topographic cartography or the Pharus-Verlag collection, this plan offers a faithful and aesthetic representation of the Swabian capital in 1917, with more than 300,000 inhabitants.
