Activities in StuttgartIndividual Sights in StuttgartSight 1: Burg Frauenberg
Frauenberg Castle is a ruin in the Feuerbach district of Stuttgart, Germany. The hilltop castle was built in the early 13th century. The central tower was about 20 m high. The small interior – which is still visible today – served as a prison around 1390. The walls measured between 3 and 3.8 m thick. From the end of the 14th century, seven families became co-owners. However, the castle was demolished at the beginning of the 16th century and it was not until 1971 that remains of the wall were discovered, which were secured in 1973 and surrounded by a complex.
Sight 2: Gruhe
A Ruhstein, also called Ruhestein, Ruhbank, Grubstock, Gruhe, Gruhbank, Krugstatt or Gruegstätt as well as Raststein, is a single or multi-part bench that was used in earlier times for load carriers to rest. While there were originally comparable devices made of wood, the benches that have survived to this day are made of stone. As witnesses of earlier forms of transport and old traffic routes, many benches are now considered small or field monuments.
