Located in a historic park, the Lapidarium offers a special approach to the architectural and cultural history of the state capital. Over two hundred sculptures and remains of destroyed or demolished buildings in the city are exhibited in the greenery.

In addition to the antique wall of the Renaissance garden, the most outstanding objects are the remains of Stuttgart's oldest buildings, including the portal and windows of the Old Stone House (around 1286), the entrance façade of master builder Heinrich Schickhardt's house (1596-1602) and the portal of the large mill in Berg (1613). The atmosphere of this "stone picture book" with terraces, fountain courtyard and old trees is unique in Stuttgart.

The Lapidarium was created in 1905 as a private park by Karl von Ostertag-Siegle, modeled on an Italian Renaissance garden next to his home in Mörikestrasse. 45 years later, in 1950, the city acquired the grounds and, on the initiative of Gustav Wais, established the Municipal Lapidarium here. Some of the more than 200 objects on display today come from buildings that were demolished during the redevelopment of the old town at the beginning of the 20th century, from the former royal property of Villa Berg or are remnants of the Second World War.

The Lapidarium is located in a residential area. Please respect the privacy of our neighbors!
