Why visit

Stuttgart is where Giuseppe Antonio Brescianello died on 4 October 1758, after serving as Oberkapellmeister of the Württemberg ducal court for over three decades.

Origins and history

The name Stuttgart appears around 1160 in the Hirsau Codex, in the form Stuokarten, when a Hugo de Stuokarten gave properties at Stammheim and Sasbach to the abbey of Hirsau; around 1220 the place was raised to a town. Its later importance it owes to its choice as a residence: in 1806, with the Napoleonic wars and the founding of the Confederation of the Rhine, the residence town of the old Württemberg duchy rose to the rank of capital of the kingdom of Württemberg.
