Treasures At 2nd View

Look the building. What do you notice about it?
I became attached to these filligree roofings. They have their own charm. Enjoy!

Diamonds In The Heusteigviertel

This building is one the eye-catchers in the Heusteigviertel. There is a coffeeshop in the ground floor. It is owned by a known bakery which is situated cater-cornered.
I like this light-coloured row of houses very much. There is also a small and cosy coffee shop in the ground floor of the corner building. The coffee is very good and the selection of pastries is manageable.

Fabrication In The Heusteigviertel

This building at Christophstraße and Mozartstraße has sheltered the publishing company named "Greiner & Pfeiffer".
A detailed shot from the building which was obviously renovated and spruced up.

Oases In The Heusteigviertel

Behind the wooden fence could lie quiet a small recreation oasis with trees, bushes and flowers. There could be some benches for the grown-ups and a sandbox for the kids too. I don't know anything about it because this private property was inaccessible for me.

Liselotte u. Manfred Rommel Platz, Vers. 3.0

It's been a long time now since I was in Sillenbuch. The Liselotte u. Manfred Rommel Platz was changed again. Now it looks like a Beltane place.

The Chokepoint

Some streets in the Heusteigviertel have chokepoints like the pictured one. They should be conducive to traffic calming in this busy quarter. The passage is forbidden on weekdays from 9:30 pm tp 6:30 am, on Sundays and on public holidays.

A Little Bit Austrian Atmosphere

View into the Mozartstraße
These two buildings have piqued my interest
The ornaments at the house walls are quite washed out. But they are anyhow beautiful. The eponym of this street is clearly visible. The sculpture looks neat as a pin.

Buildings In The Heusteigviertel

I show you two examples of the buildings from the threshold to the 20th century. The pharmacy named Mozart Apotheke is situated at Heusteigstraße and Immenhofer Straße. It looks like it has had its days. But the building is essentially still beautiful.

Education In The Heusteigviertel

This is the Heusteigschule at the Heusteigstraße. It is a Grundschule (elementary school) and a Werkrealschule (a special form of secondary modern school). The impressive building was built from 1904 to 1906 by architect Mr. Theodor Fischer.

The Golden Sign

The Swabian pretzel is an important and popular food. This golden sign of a bakery at the Theodor-Fischer-Platz in the Heusteigviertel invites to a stopover with a cup of coffee and a pretzel with butter.
View to Theodor-Fischer-Platz.

The Markuskirche

This is the Protestant church named Markuskirche. It was built from 1906 to 1908 by the builder Heinrich Dolmetsch. I want to show this building from different perspectives.
View from the Filderstraße.

Living Conditions In The Heusteigviertel

This is one of the characteristical streets of the Heusteigviertel. It is characterized by thick building development and too little parking space for the cars. The most buildings in the Heusteigviertel were built at the turn of the 20th century. The pictured street is named Weißenburgstraße and it has even some trees and plantings.

Stuttgart Doorways #17

This handsome building is also situated at Olgastraße.
It has an impressive doorway.
I was amazed at these brawny men.

The Saint

We start our tour on Wilhelmsplatz. We go along the Wilhelmstraße to Olgastraße.
This building is situated at Olgastraße and it is an old people's home. It's strictly speaking not part of the Heusteigviertel but I want to show you the interesting wooden sculpture.

Overview

Today I want to invite you to a walk through a quarter named Heusteigviertel. But it is not easy to locate it. There are an historic quarter and an official one. I've decided to explore the historic place at first. It is delimited by Wilhelmstraße, Olgastraße, Filderstraße and Hauptstätter Straße. Please be cordially invited to accompany me. I hope it will be an informative walk. Let's go.
View to Wilhelmsplatz at Hauptstätter Straße (right) and Wilhelmstraße. The Wilhelmsplatz was unenlivened during making this shot.
Two hours later there was a demonstration against the S21 project. The participants have formed up for a protest march through the city centre.
The other end of the historic quarter is situated near Marienplatz in the South at Filderstraße and Hauptstätter Straße.

Art In The Killesberg Park, 2

If you walk down from the hill with its tower and along the small allotments you'll behold some mysterious objects around a small lake named Egelsee. I've selected two examples of these artworks.
This silver and glittering object and the Bülow-Tower match excellent, don't they?
Silver snakes? Laundry racks?
A view back.

Gardening In The Killesberg Park

There are some allotment gardens in the Killesberg park too. I assume that they were already here before the Killesberg park was created.
Looks like an intellectual guardian.

Art In The Killesberg Park, 1

Oh my goodness! What a rusty canister! It can't be an artwork!
But it is! It's an "homage" to the consumption from Mr. Rainer Wochele. Please note that I'm not a professional translator:
To take we have to do
We have to take
We still have to take
What the market is giving

Everything else
Would be against the nature

It still rises permanently

A View Again

He Has Just Tried It

Felix wanted to make some shots in the Killesberg park too. I've fulfilled him his desire. So he has taken pictures of a dog, of clouds, of an hedge scaffolding and of his mother and a mysterious object. This object is very interesting. I'll show you some more photos on Saturday.

March 2012 Theme Day: Electricity

These three modernized apartment houses in Mönchfeld have solar collectors on their roofs.
That way the residents produce their own electricity. Maybe they supply it with current. I'm sure that the people reduce their electricity bill.
Needfull informations about current output power, total power and CO2 savings for the residents, visitors and interested people.
