Description
Official map of the city of Stuttgart from 1936: the metropolis of Baden-Württemberg, the main railway station, Rosenstein Park, Bad Cannstatt, the Neckar River and the hilly terrain.
This official map shows the city of Stuttgart (Amtlicher Plan der Stadt Stuttgart) in 1936 (at a scale of 1:14,000). At that time, Stuttgart was the capital of the People's State of Württemberg (Volksstaat Württemberg). Today it is in the state of Baden-Württemberg (Baden-Württemberg), of which it is the capital and largest metropolis. Its population exceeded 450,000 in the mid-1930s, amid a boom in industry, automotive manufacturing and technology.
Stuttgart's history in the 1930s was marked by the extensive modernization of its infrastructure, its role as the center of the German mechanical engineering industry (Bosch, Daimler-Benz), and the gradual incorporation of the surrounding suburbs. Published by the city's official surveying office (Städt. Vermessungsamt), this highly accurate scientific map documents the urban development of the Swabian city: the metropolis now extends well into the Neckar Valley towards Bad Cannstatt and Untertürkheim, while remaining nestled in its distinctive natural setting of hills, valleys and wooded uplands.
Places and districts shown:
-
The historic center and the “Innere Stadt” inset: at the top left, a detailed inset at a larger scale (1:9,000) highlights the city center (Stuttgart Innere Stadt), including Schlossplatz, the Old Castle, the New Palace and the main railway station (Hauptbahnhof).
-
The main railway station and Rosenstein Park: in the center of the map, the extensive railway tracks of the Hauptbahnhof lead towards the green spaces of Rosenstein Park (Schloß Rosenstein).
-
The districts of Bad Cannstatt and the Neckar Valley: to the northeast, the map encompasses the large historic district of Bad Cannstatt (Bad Cannstatt), the course of the Neckar, the river port facilities and the district of Untertürkheim.
-
The suburbs of Feuerbach, Botnang and Degerloch: the map extends north towards Feuerbach, west towards Botnang, and south to the heights of Degerloch.
-
Valleys, forests and topography: the rugged terrain of the Stuttgart basin is depicted precisely with detailed contour lines, highlighting the wooded areas (Rotwald, Degerloch Wald).
-
Official legend and location map (Übersichtskarte): at the bottom right, a general map (Übersichtskarte, scale 1:150,000) locates Stuttgart within its regional basin, accompanied by a technical legend (Zeichenerklärung) showing built-up areas (Baublöcke), public buildings (öffentl. Gebäude) and administrative boundaries.
Cartographic landmark: this “Amtlicher Plan der Stadt Stuttgart” at a scale of 1:14,000, produced by the Städt. Vermessungsamt (city surveying office), stands out for its fine graphic detail and harmonious colors. Built-up areas and urban blocks are shaded in a warm brick terracotta, public spaces and parks (Rosenstein, Schlossgarten) stand out in soft green, while wooded elevations are highlighted in shades of forest green. An alphabetical (D to Q) and numerical (11 to 24) grid frames the document to make locations easier to find.
In brief: for anyone interested in Württemberg history, official topographic cartography, Stuttgart's industrial and automotive heritage, or the landscapes of the Neckar Valley, this map offers a comprehensive and elegant overview of the metropolis in 1936, when it had a population of over 450,000.
