Schlossplatz is Stuttgart’s central palace square, set along Königstrasse, the city’s main pedestrian street. Historic buildings from Stuttgart’s time as a ducal and royal capital frame its gardens and open paths. Look for the Jubilee Column, erected in 1841 to mark 25 years of King William I’s reign, then take a break on the lawns. The square is a useful stop between city-centre sights, and its open public spaces also host seasonal markets and other events.
The Jubilee Column
The column in the square was erected in 1841 to mark the 25th year of King William I’s reign. It gives the open gardens a clear point of focus and recalls Stuttgart’s history as a ducal and royal capital.
