Bohnenviertel
One of the few old districts in Stuttgart to survive World War II, with restored historic houses, galleries, antique shops and traditional Swabian taverns along its narrow lanes.
Bohnenviertel (Bean Quarter) takes its name from the poor craftsmen who once grew beans in front of their houses. It lies southeast of the city center and is one of the few old districts that survived the bombing in World War II. Cobblestone lanes are lined with restored half-timbered houses, galleries, antiquarian bookshops, small design boutiques, and authentic Swabian taverns and wine bars. In summer, the outdoor street seating is lively. The neighboring St. Leonhard's Church and the Leonhardsviertel (Red-Light District) form a continuous area. It's best to come in the evening for Swabian food and local wine.
