if you go to Stuttgart make sure you do it in a timeframe where the S-Bahn is driving. we are having a little construction going on here and it can be a little confusing at times especiallay for people who don't use it every day and are not up to date. Also our mainstation is literaly a construction site, you might heard of it "Stuttgart 21" so be aware of that.

Both, Mercedes and Porsche, have built museums to put their history and their cars on display. The "Neue Staatsgalerie" is a museum of contemporary art and certainly worth a visit for those interested in such things. Apart from the TV tower (Fernsehturm) I'd highly recommend the Wilhelma, the zoo of Stuttgart. There's a model railway somewhere near the main train station (Hauptbahnhof) which is showing the old main train station in the scale 1: 160 (scale N). It's quite impressive how realistically it has been reconstructed as a model. The city's own galery (at the Königsplatz) is showing some remarkable paintings of modern classics like eg. Otto Dix. During the 1970ies and 1980ies downtown Stuttgart was a very attractive place for shopping - not only for clothing. Unfortunately I have no idea of how much is still left of that. And I hope that I'm correct about that: Stuttgart has a musical theatre. And of course a well known ballet company, an opera, a theatre and a political cabaret theatre (Renitenztheater). And - last not least - a huge construction site where the new main train station is supposed to be.😅

Stuttgart has some beautiful sights worth seeing. The mentioned Fernsehturm is one of them. Also the Mercedes-Benz Museum or the local Zoo Wilhelma with it's moorish style buildings and Europes biggest magnolia grove (blossom is traceable online)

The first bicycle prototype was also invented in Baden-Württemberg btw, by Karl von Drais in Karlsruhe.

4:04 No. It did not all happen in Stuttgart. Carl Benz lived in Mannheim, where he first founded an iron foundry (together with August Ritter, whose share was then bought out by Benz's fiancée, Bertha Ringer) in 1871. In 1882 they had to take additional shareholders in to get the credits necessary to market their inventions of a 2-stroke engine, spark plug, carburetor, gear shift, ... and changed the factory's name into Gasmotoren Fabrik Mannheim. But in the end Benz could only hold 5% of the shares, and was not allowed to design new products, so he left in 1883 and founded together with bicycle repair shop owners Max Rose and F.W. Eßlinger the Benz & Cie. engine factory while working on his ideas for an automobile, which he patented in 1886. In 1888 Bertha took a Model III prototype to drive with her 2 sons about 100 km to visit her mother in Pforzheim - without telling her husband and without driver's license - the first "long distance" ride in an automobile (which led to some modifications of the Modell III, including an additional gear for climbing steep hills and better brakes). Gottlieb Daimler and Wilhelm Maybach on the other hand met in Karlsruhe and went in 1872 to Cologne to the Gasmotorenfabrik (gas engine factory) Deutz, led by Nicolaus Otto (the inventor of the Otto engine), where they developed together a stationary 4-stroke engine, which was in 1875 patented in the USA. After a dispute with Otto Daimler left Deutz and started his own enterprise in Cannstatt (which city was later merged with Stuttgart) to develop light engines for use in vehicles. In 1885 Daimler and Maybach presented the first motorcycles with an Otto engine (0.5 hp), and in 1889 they presented at the Paris Exposition the first 4-wheel car constructed by Maybach. Daimler and Benz never met, but they had a lawsuit against each other for patent infringements. 1921-1924 a Berlin stock exchange speculator and car dealer could get major shares in both Benz & Cie and the Daimler Motor Company, but caused also major problems for those corporations, which forced them to merge as Daimler-Benz AG in Stuttgart. 6:43 Donaueschingen claims to have the spring of the Danube, but actually it is only a small spring, while most of the water of the Danube comes from rivers Brig and Bregach which merge near Donaueschinngen. And all this water never reaches Ulm, let alone the Black Sea, because it seeps away only a few dozen kilometers later to flow subterraneously to the Aachtopf, the karst spring of the Radolfzeller Aach which flows into Lake Constance and therefore into the Rhine. So this Danube is only a minor subsidiary of the Rhine. The Danube river valley is then refilled by rivers coming down from the Swabian Jura. The first major inflow is the Bära; my geography teacher therefore stated: not the Danube, but the Bära is Europe's second longest river and flows to four capital cities before draining in the Black Sea. (Actually the Bära is geologically older than the Danube.) 😁 Stuttgart is wealthy not only, but also because it siphons much wealth from the other regions. There are some other industrious, innovative and wealthy regions in Baden-Württemberg, e.g. in the southeast between Ulm and Lake Constance, also the Upper Rhine valley, especially the regions around Freiburg and in northern Baden (Mannheim, Karlsruhe).
