Schillerplatz is a historic square in Stuttgart’s old town, celebrated for its architectural harmony and cultural legacy. Named after the revered poet Friedrich Schiller, the square dates back to the Middle Ages and was redesigned in the early 17th century by Heinrich Schickhardt under Duke Friedrich’s orders. It is framed by iconic buildings including the Old Castle (Altes Schloss), the Collegiate Church (Stiftskirche), the Fruchtkasten, the Prinzenbau, and the Alte Kanzlei. At its heart stands the Schiller Monument, unveiled in 1839 and cast from cannons, symbolizing civic pride and artistic reverence. Once a princely space, Schillerplatz evolved into a vibrant civic hub, hosting weekly markets and cultural events. Its cobblestone charm and proximity to Schlossplatz make it a serene yet central destination for visitors seeking Stuttgart’s historical soul.
