Why are Stuttgart's streets so clean, and why is 'build a little house' the highest life goal? This walk leads deep into the collective psyche of the Swabians. From the town hall to the hidden poverty of the Bean Quarter and up to the villas of the rich, the tour follows the red thread of Pietism, social control, and tireless work ethic. Discover how a plaster plan from the 15th century became a cultural phenomenon and why the dialect knows a word for 'to work' that sounds suspiciously like 'to create'. Explore the soul of a city built on order, frugality, and concrete.
