Weissenburg Park and Tea House

A grandiose view and good conversation over a treat or two - the reasons why a visit to the Weißenburgpark teahouse is worthwhile have remained the same over the past hundred years. The large green space is located on a hill in the south of Stuttgart.

An architectural gem in Weissenburg Park, the teahouse is worth a visit for its rococo-style ceiling paintings alone.

What would a beautiful villa be without a pavilion, a marble hall and a tennis court? This question was answered by the industrialist Dr. Ernst von Sieglin himself at the beginning of the 20th century, after he had purchased Villa Weißenburg. The villa and the tennis court no longer exist today.

The pavilion where Mrs. Sieglin once met her friends for tea is now a popular excursion restaurant that still exudes the flair of an earlier century. The tea house, with its rococo-style ceiling paintings and columned surround, is worth a visit for its décor alone.

The Marble Hall was used by the Sieglin family as a banqueting hall. It has retained this function to this day: the magnificent hall can be rented for private parties and  civil weddings ; public concerts are also held here from time to time.

But the Weißenburgpark has even more to offer: its winding paths invite you to take a walk. And the observation terrace offers one of the most beautiful views over Stuttgart's city center.
