City Overview
Stuttgart is the capital of Baden-Württemberg and Germany’s automotive capital — home to Mercedes-Benz and Porsche (HQs and museums), with dense high-end manufacturing, engineering and "hidden champion" firms and incomes among Germany’s highest. The city sits in a green basin ringed by hills and vineyards. Housing costs run high and the terrain is hilly — the industry, engineering and R&D center of the southwest.
