Welcome! 

FEEL THE ENGINEERING SPIRIT! 

We welcome you to the 24 th CADFEM Users’ Meeting – International Congress on FEM Technology and the 2006 German ANSYS Conference 

in Fellbach/Stuttgart. 


The Stuttgart region is renowned for its engineering tradition and its innovative power, which is reflected by its many well-performing hightechnology 

companies, and its outstanding academic institutions. During the next three days, we would like to absorb as much as possible of 

this “Engineering Spirit” and offer you a wide range of presentations, workshops, and demonstrations on all aspects of engineering simulation 

and computer-aided engineering processes. 

Conference sessions will be devoted to a wide range of general topics, including statics, dynamics, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, materials, 

acoustics, fatigue, fracture mechanics, crash, impact and multi-physics simulations. The innovative character of our event will be reflected in 

workshops and sessions, showing new software technology or the application of simulation tools to original areas. Examples are the workshop 

on “Simulation in the Electronic Industry” featuring a new series of ANSYS products, the workshop on the AnyBody Modeling System for simulation 

of human movement, the workshop and session on the ATOMISTIX software for nano-scale simulations, and the sessions on multi-body systems 

and marine & off-shore simulation tools. As in the previous years, we will offer “Industry Update” workshops on various CFD topics like mesh 

generation, quality assessment of CFD calculations, combustion, and fluid-structure interaction. The popular “CFX Live” and “ANSYS Live” 

workshop will complement the workshop program. 

We strive to cover all aspects of the successful industrial application of simulation tools in our conference. Besides software technology, these include 

the design and management of simulation processes and the efficient provision of company-wide and integrated CAE technology. Several sessions 

on Management & Integration as well as the “2 nd Forum Design-Analysis-Test”, organised by Dr. Dirschmid of CAE Consulting, will address these 

challenges and the inherent opportunities. 

2006 is a year of big change for ANSYS. The acquisition of Fluent in May 2006 was a major step in consolidating ANSYS’ vision of being the leading 

provider of “Simulation Driven Product Development” and has further strengthened the ANSYS software portfolio. The plans for the integration of 

Fluent in the ANSYS software portfolio, the status of other new product families like the TASPCB and TASPTB products for electronics system cooling, 

the AQWA/ANSA products for offshore & marine simulations, and the AUTODYN products for short-time dynamics will be presented in the ANSYS 

Update on Friday morning. Presentations will also be given on the organic developments in the ANSYS, Workbench, CFX and ICEM CFD product 

series, with special emphasis on rigid/flexible dynamics and on fluid-structure interaction. 

We would also like to draw your attention to our exhibition in which more than 35 partner companies will present their products and services. 

The exhibition area is located just outside the lecture halls. As per tradition we will offer dinner and entertainment on Wednesday evening in the 

exhibition area, so that you can satisfy your hunger for food and knowledge at the same time. Finally, we would like to thank the authors and our 

partners for their contributions, and especially our sponsors Fujitsu Siemens, HP, LSTC, science + computing, PNY, VDC, and CoCreate for their 

generous support. 

Enjoy the conference!

GREETING OF MAYOR 

I would like to welcome all participants of the 24 th CADFEM Users’ Meeting & 2006 German ANSYS Conference. Since the opening of the Virtual 

Dimension Center (VDC) in summer 2003, Fellbach has emerged as one of the leading centres in the field of Virtual Reality in Germany. As one of 

the largest conferences on numerical simulation in Europe, CADFEM Users’ Meeting will definitely enhance its reputation further. 

For 30 years, the popularity of Fellbach with its Schwabenlandhalle as a“City of Wine and Congress” has spread beyond Baden-Württemberg. The 

recently extended Event and Congress Center will be another corner stone that will help to strengthen Fellbach’s status as an important conference 

venue. 

I wish all participants a pleasant stay in our wonderful city!

Sessions 




SESSIONS 

STATICS – DYNAMICS 

Wednesday, 14:00 – 20:00 h 

Hölderlin Hall 

Thursday, 08:20 – 12:40 h 


The first part of the statics and dynamics 

session on Wednesday afternoon is composed 

of numerous industry applications. 

The TÜV Rheinland certification authority 

will report about the aspects of FEM 

application in collapse load analysis. 

Applications in the development process 

in the automotive industry will also be a 

focus. A paper on nonlinear optimization 

including hyperelastic material and 

contact will be presented by Saufer- 

Danfoss A.S., Slovac Republic . 

On Thursday morning the session covers 

further interesting topics. Lectures will 

be given on an advanced stability 

investigation of an aircraft body, and 

on viscoelastic material modeling. Also, 

recent experiences with contact mechanics 

will be discussed. Furthermore, 

presentations on classical structure 

strength investigations, including studies 

with the well-known FKM code (Analytical 

Strength Assessment). 

One of the papers will discuss different 

numerical methods for examining the 

transient behaviour of a Diesel engine 

crankshaft. 

To complete the session, new features of 

the ANSYS software will be shown in the 

field of “Rotordynamics” and for ANSYS 

Workbench in general. 

CIVIL ENGINEERING 

Wednesday, 14:00 – 20:00 h 

Uhland Hall 

This session provides an overview of 

software development and applications 

in civil engineering and geotechnics. 

Analysis software is used for the planning 

of the reconstruction of historical buildings 

and for the planning of modern 

building projects and whole cities. Also, 

research studies can be carried out for 

the development of new building methods 

and building materials under 

complex static, dynamic, and thermal 

loads. In civil and geotechnical engineering 

many different materials (e.g. 

concrete, reinforced concrete, glass, 

steel, plastics, masonry, wood, rock, geo 

materials, textiles…) with various complex 

material behaviours are used. 

Therefore, the session focuses on the 

formulation and implementation of 

efficient material models. Using powerful 

simulation software products, typical 

phenomena such as cracking and load 

relocating for historical buildings can be 

reliably described. This makes it possible 

to predict the load-carrying capacity as a 

basis for high-quality reconstruction 

planning. 

ANSYS USER CLUB MEETING 

Wednesday, 18:20 – 20:00 h 

Musikschule Ensemble Room 2 

Bi-annual meeting of the German ANSYS 

User Club (AUC). Guests are welcome! 


FLEXIBLE BODIES IN MULTI 

BODY SYSTEMS SOFTWARE 

Wednesday, 14:00 – 17:40 h 


For many years FEM and Multi Body 

Simulation (MBS) software tools were 

separate worlds. Recently an increasing 

number of MBS features has been included 

in FEM packages and vice versa. 

One example for the integration of MBS 

capabilities into a FEM code is the new 

ANSYS Version 11.0. The focus of the 

session is therefore to present the new 

features, future developments and applications 

in coupling flexible and rigid 

bodies in ANSYS. 

Other presentations show state-of-the-art 

applications in the automotive industry, 

how flexible bodies can be implemented 

in standard MBS software and how 

different programs can be coupled to 

simulate all effects of a virtual prototype, 

for example control systems and flexible 

bodies. 

Moreover, MBS applications like 

RecurDyn, Adams, or Simpack will 

be presented.

Sessions 

MECHATRONICS / 

ELECTRICAL DRIVES / 

HYBRID VEHICLES 

Wednesday, 14:00 – 20:00 h 

Musikschule Hall 

A full session will be dedicated to the 

simulations in mechatronics, focussing on 

important application areas like electric 

motors, Hybrid Electrical Vehicles (HEV), 

actuators and sensors. 

Different examples from industry and 

research showing the application of 

ANSYS and complementary tools will be 

presented in the first part of the session. 

Another important topic in this session 

will be approaches to simulate complete 

mechatronic systems, including the 

control system. There are different ways 

to couple system simulation tools and 

FEM simulation. FEM can be used to 

extract parameters for reduced-order 

models of different devices. A co-simulation 

of control-tool and FEM simulation 

is another option. Magnetic actuators, 

mechanical and fluid-dynamic devices will 

be covered. An integrated simulation of 

an electro-magnetic actuator, including 

its power electronics and controls will be 

presented in detail. 

ACOUSTICS 

Wednesday, 14:00 – 20:00 h 


The increasing variety of acoustics simulation 

is reflected by the contributions in 

the Acoustics session. The introduction to 

the session provides an overview of the 

basic capabilities of ANSYS with respect 

to acoustics, covering features and 

applications for structure-borne sound 

(ANSYS/SBSOUND), air-borne sound 

(FLUID30/FLUID130 acoustic elements), 

and acoustic FSI by means of application 

examples. 

The latter topic is picked up in detail 

during the session when simulations of 

acoustic FSI in piping structures (noise 

reduction) and devices for mobile phones 

(radio frequency filters) will be presented. 

A different focus of FSI is the consideration 

of moving fluid media solved by the 

software LINFLOW, where the Boundary 

Element Method (BEM), used to model 

the moving acoustic medium, is coupled 

to the structural ANSYS model. A very 

promising approach to overcome the 

“model size” or “high frequency” bottleneck 

in acoustics is the extension of 

standard BEM. It is called Fast Multipole 

BEM (FMBEM). The commercial software 

WAON is based on this technique. Theory 

and a live demonstration will be presented. 

An industrial application of acoustic 

simulation for a punching machine 

process will show the importance of 

acoustic simulation in the early design 

phase and for trouble-shooting. 

Simulating HiFi components is one of the 

earliest disciplines in acoustic simulation. 

However, details like thin fabric covering 

small openings of microphones complicate 

the application of FEM standard 

features. A smart idea based on structural-acoustic 

analogies will be presented 

to overcome this modeling problem 

within ANSYS. 

Acoustics may not just end up in tasks 

where fast equation solvers are of primary 

interest. For the automotive industry, 

an important acoustic process can 

start before any FE or BE mesh is generated. 

Inspections of the acoustic airborne 

noise paths can be set up on the 

CAD model where small openings to the 

car exterior are tracked and visualized. 

A completely different facet of acoustics 

is sound design that is closely related to 

psychoacoustics, where the human 

perception of sound is investigated. 


SOFTWARE / HARDWARE 

PRODUCT PRESENTATIONS 

Wednesday, 14:00 – 20:00 h 

Heuss-Knapp Hall 

Different simulation software solutions 

and complementary products will be 

presented in the products session. 

MATERIAL 

Thursday, 14:00 – 18:00 h 


Materials and their mechanical, fatigue, 

thermal, and electrical behaviour are one 

of the major ingredients in numerical 

simulation. Tasks for the analyst range 

from a careful selection of a proper 

material model, to material parameter 

identification with material model calibration, 

and model verification. 

Starting with thermo-mechanical material 

models for high-temperature loaded 

structures, the material testing and 

parameter identification for sheet metals 

in metal forming, life-cycle fatigue and 

crashworthiness will be shown. Calibration 

of material models with respect to 

experimental data will be highlighted, as 

well as material databases including lifecycle 

fatigue for design and simulation. 

The second part of the session focuses on 

composite materials. Composites are 

gaining more and more acceptance, not 

only in aircraft design but also in the 

automotive industry. In addition to 

reliable design verification, it is important 

to validate numerical methods which are 

able to deal with the complexity of 

composite materials and their design. 

Besides experimental tests, the rule of 

mixtures or finite element analyses of 

RVEs (Representative Volume Elements) 

provide a good starting point for homogenized 

material parameters of composites. 

Furthermore, a proper description 

of transverse shear stresses is important 

for composites in terms of failure, since 

cross-section properties can vary signifi-

Sessions 




cantly. The latter is especially true for 

sandwich-like structures and their calibration 

and verification, which will be shown 

in the final presentation of the session. 

FATIGUE AND FRACTURE 

Thursday, 08:20 – 18:00 h 

Uhland Hall 

Risk of fatigue and how to handle fatigue 

and fracture before and after they occur 

will be covered using different examples 

from industry. 

Complex loading requires specific algorithms 

for fatigue assessment and material 

behaviour during cyclic loading. Some 

methods for fatigue assessment of local 

multi-axial stresses and plasticity models 

for complex cyclic loading will be presented 

and discussed. 

The initiation and growth of fatigue 

cracks is difficult to understand and 

handle numerically. An understanding of 

crack initiation and progress will be provided 

in several papers. Efficient ways to 

analyze the growth of large cracks without 

the need for remeshing will also be 

presented. 

Fatigue of welded structures has always 

been a challenge for the analyst. There 

are many methods available, leading to 

confusion as to the proper approach. 

Presentations relating to this topic will 

cover the assessment of fatigue strength 

of welded thin sheet structures, pressure 

vessel design, automotive industry, and 

fatigue of carbide coatings. Polymers 

with short fibre reinforcement are materials 

of increasing interest to the industry. 

A presentation will describe the status 

and examples of methods for modeling 

this group of materials. Methods and 

models, material aspects, tools for 

fatigue and fracture assessment, material 

data access, and many cases and examples 

from industry and research will be 

presented and discussed. 

CRASH / IMPACT 

Thursday, 08:20 – 18:00 h 

Hesse Hall 2 

This session is primarily dedicated to 

LS-DYNA, the FEM package for highly 

non-linear simulations. The main application 

fields are crashworthiness simulation, 

where high deformations are usually 

expected. 

The aim of the LS-DYNA session is not 

only to show the “classical” fields of 

application but also to give a broad 

overview of the capabilities of LS-DYNA. 

Further applications are drop test simulations 

for consumer goods like mobile 

phones and other electronic and electric 

devices, for example for household 

ovens. Here, good packaging is of 

interest as undesired impacts can occur 

during transport. 

For cars, crashworthiness simulations 

are state-of-the art. For ships or aircraft 

where full-scale prototypes are not feasible, 

simulations of impact are essential 

to provide insight into the mechanical 

behaviour of complete structures. 

Human FE models are set up to get 

more realistic predictions of the injury 

to pedestrians during car impacts. An 

example is the THUMS (Total Human 

Modeling System) from Toyota, which 

CADFEM is currently evaluating and for 

which first results will be presented. 


Other topics in the session deal with 

LS-DYNA’s and AUTODYNE’s blast simulation 

features, for instance for explosive 

welding, and new concepts to improve 

the speed of the explicit time integration 

scheme. 

MULTIPHYSICS 

Thursday, 08:20 – 18:00 h 


The Multiphysics session covers the 

spectrum of coupled physics simulation 

from macro- to micro- and nano-scale 

simulations. 

The first part deals with coupled simulations 

in electronics design. ANSYS’ new 

tools (PTD, TASPCB, Icepak, Icemax, 

Icewave) for thermal analysis of printed 

circuit boards (PCB) and electronic 

systems will be presented. 

Fatigue in electronic devices is of special 

interest. Stresses inside a mobile phone 

caused by an impact will be discussed in 

detail. A fatigue model of solder joints 

will be presented. 

The second part covers the simulation of 

micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS). 

A piezo-electric hysteresis model that can 

be used within ANSYS will be presented. 

Also, the coupled analysis of piezoelectric 

micro-generators for energy 

harvesting applications will be covered. 

Finally the use of quantum theory in 

nano-scale simulation will be discussed. 

This kind of simulations can be used in 

micro-electronics or in chemistry. 

Nano-scale simulations with the Atomistix 

software for material design will be

Sessions 

presented. This includes the analysis of 

growth of ultra–thin, diamond-like 

carbon coatings for the micro-electronics 

industry. 

MANUFACTURING 

Thursday, 08:20 – 18:00 h 


There are significant advantages in optimizing 

manufacturing processes, such as 

welding, metal forming, or car boy 

painting, by using simulation technologies. 

Problems identified by simulation 

can guide adaptations of the process. 

On the other hand, for a given design, 

simulation can be used to find an optimum 

manufacturing process (adaptation 

of the manufacturing process to the 

design). 

The general challenge of manufacturing 

process simulations is the requirement of 

theoretical knowledge on all relevant 

sub-processes. Valid mathematical and 

numerical models are needed for all 

important sub-processes, i.e. dipping, 

drying, and coating as part of car pody 

painting processes. 

This session provides an overview of the 

state-of-the-art simulation methods in 

manufacturing. The intention is to further 

the integration of sub-process simulations, 

leading to a complete manufacturing 

process simulation. 

COMPUTATIONAL FLUID 

DYNAMICS 

Thursday, 08:20 – 18:00 h 

Mörike Hall 2 

Thursday, 08:20 – 18:00 h 

Hesse Hall 3 

Two parallel sessions are devoted to the 

latest developments in and applications 

of CFD. Session topics include turbomachinery, 

automotive, chemical, process, 

and acoustics. The interaction between 

fluid flow and structural behaviour 

represent a subject of increasing interest 

to analysts in many domains. Therefore, 

one session is dedicated to this subject, 

and other multi-physics applications. 

Turbulence plays a major role in almost all 

technical flows. The latest state-of-the-art 

in turbulence modeling and a new class 

of scale-resolving turbulence models will 

be presented in the concluding session. 

BIOMECHANICS 

Thursday, 08:20 – 12:40 h 


This year’s biomechanics session consists 

of two parts. In the morning, lecturers 

from universities and research institutes 

will present applications of FEM simulations 

in different fields of biomechanics. 

Topics discussed will include the generation 

of FE-models from DICOM data or 

material laws, for instance for the simulation 

of bone healing. 

In the afternoon, the „AnyBody Modeling 

System” software will be presented 

in a workshop on musculoskeletal analysis 

(see the Workshops page for details). 

MANAGEMENT 

Thursday, 08:20 – 18:00 h 


Friday, 08:40 – 12:00 h 


Friday, 08:40 – 12:00 h 

Uhland Hall 


Dr. Dirschmid, former CAE manager of 

Audi AG, guides this session dedicated 

to items like „Return on Investment of 

CAE“, its efficient integration in product 

development, or collaboration between 

design, analysis and test departments 

(2 nd Forum Design, Analysis, Test). 

On Friday, an additional CAE Management 

session covers educational and 

legal aspects. 

SOLUTIONS FOR 

OPTIMIZATION AND 

ROBUSTNESS SIMULATION 

Friday, 08:40 – 12:00 h 


CAE-based optimization and CAE-based 

robustness evaluation are key technologies 

of virtual product development. In 

this session two of the leading general 

purpose parametric software tools, 

optiSLang from Dynardo GmbH and 

modeFRONTIER from ESTECO srl. as well 

as the cooperation initiative of Dynardo 

and ESTECO will be presented.

WORKSHOP ANSYS WORKBENCH 

14:00 bis 15:40 Uhr 

Simulation in Electronic Industry 

Volker Bäumer, Jürgen Vogt (CADFEM GmbH, Grafing) 

ANSYS Inc. provides with its software modules ANSYS 

Multiphysics, ICEPACK, ICEmax, ICEwave, TAS-PCB and -PTB a 

complete suite of simulation tools for the electronic industry 

covering virtually all kinds of applications. In this session we 

will start with an overview of the full spectrum of possible 

applications and the solutions provided by ANSYS. 

The main focus of this session is on the 3D-thermal simulation 

in micro-electronics, starting from the prediction of temperatures 

in electronic components, to the cooling of printed circuit 

boards and finally the thermal and fluid flow analysis on the 

electronic system level. In addition to the lectures short demos 

will be given to provide more insight into the practical application 

of the software.

ANSYS WORKBENCH FOR LS-DYNA 

18:20 bis 20:00 Uhr 

ANSYS Workbench for LS-DYNA 

Matthias Hörmann (CADFEM GmbH, Grafing) 

A new interface “ANSYS Workbench for LS-DYNA” broadens 

the range of applications for Workbench users by giving them 

access to the large nonlinear and transient dynamic analysis 

capabilities of the LS-DYNA program. 

This workshop gives a technical introduction of the interface 

to both ANSYS Workbench and LS-DYNA users. 

Applications and examples: 

- Load limit analyses (large deformations, large nonlinearities) 

- Drop-test simulations (short time dynamic range, 

high frequencies) 

- Problems including sophisticated material damage 

and failure (large nonlinearities)

ANSYS CFX INDUSTRY UPDATE I 

14:00 bis 15:40 Uhr 

Industry Update – Advanced Meshing Techniques for CFD 

Bernd Brasas, Georg Scheuerer 

(ANSYS Germany GmbH, Otterfing) 

This session will provide lectures and practical demonstrations 

on the subject of advanced meshing techniques. At the outset, 

guidelines will be provided about mesh design, efficiency of 

different element types, and grid topologies, including hybrid 

grids. The lecture will be completed with an overview of the 

tools available in ANSYS ICEM CFD, and in the new “Unified 

Meshing” tab of the ANSYS Workbench. The demonstrations in 

the practical part will show geometry import of a CAD part in 

the ANSYS DesignModeler, transfer to the ICEM CFD geometry 

clean-up and meshing tools, meshing of the part with different 

meshing algorithms, and assessment of the mesh quality.

16:20 bis 17:40 Uhr 

Industry Update Quality Assessment and Best Practice 

Guidelines for CFD 

Holger Grotjans, Thorsten Hansen, Georg Scheuerer 


The first part of this industry update will focus on the assessment 

of the quality of CFD results. In the second part, best 

practices concerning geometry modeling, grid design, grid 

generation, selection of physical models, selection of discretization 

schemes and solver parameters, and post-processing 

will be provided. The quantification and subsequent minimization 

of round-off errors, iteration errors, discretization errors, 

and model errors will be discussed. The practical part contains 

the demonstration of procedures for analyzing these errors 

using ANSYS ICEM CFD and CFX, Version 11. 

WORKSHOP 


18:20 bis 20:00 Uhr 

Industry Update – Combustion Modeling 

Jorge Carregal-Ferreira, Hendrik Forkel 


This industry update will show the main developments 

and highlights of ANSYS CFX 11 in the area of combustion 

modeling. The first part will cover models for non-premixed, 

partially premixed, and premixed gas-phase combustion. 

Examples shown will include gas turbine combustion chambers 

and internal combustion engines. The second part will focus 

on multi-phase flow combustion and pollutant formation. 

Typical examples are coal combustion and NOx formation. 

The practical part will focus on the set-up and calculation for 

modeling combustion in a typical industrial furnace. 

Generation of new materials and chemical reactions using 

the Reaction Editor of ANSYS CFX will also be demonstrated.

Congress Center Information 

and Room Overview 





The Congress- and Event Center 

Schwabenlandhalle has been updated 

and extended during the last 18 months. 

Due to the size of our Users’ Meeting, 

three areas of the Center will be used: 

The old building (red), with the lecture 

rooms Hölderlin Hall, Uhland Hall, 

Heuss-Knapp Hall, and Daimler Room; 

the new part (green) with four lecture 

rooms: Halls Mörike 1 and 2, and Halls 

Hesse 2 and 3. Both areas are linked by 

a large foyer, which hosts the exhibition. 

Just a few footsteps away from the 

new part is the Musikschule Building 

(yellow) with its lecture rooms Musikschule 

Hall, Ensemble Room 1 and 2. 

On all conference days, a lunch buffet 

will be offered in the catering area, 

a large air-conditioned tent, which can 

be accessed via the new Congress Center 

area.

pleased to invite you to the recently 

inaugurated New Mercedes-Benz 

Museum in Stuttgart to celebrate this 

year’s social event in the evening of 

Thursday, October 26, 2006. 

The Mercedes-Benz Museum 

The New Mercedes-Benz Museum in 

Stuttgart has opened its doors in May 

2006. Within a construction time of only 

two and a half years, an architectural 

highlight has been created which constitutes 

a remarkable design feature of the 

Stuttgart region. It is the only museum in 

the world which can present the complete 

120-year history of the automotive 

industry. The display concept is unique: 

160 vehicles and more than 1,500 other 

exhibits are presented on two connected 

tour routes occupying an area of 16,500 

square metres on nine levels. The museum’s 

physical proximity to the Mercedes-Benz 

plant in Stuttgart-Untertürkheim 

creates the link between tradition 

and today: The museum shows that 

automotive history has always been 

forward-looking, based on the continuous 

innovative strength of Mercedes- 

Benz. 

The new museum not only presents the 

exciting history of the Mercedes-Benz 

brand, but also affords a look into the 

future. This dual function is also reflected 

in the architecture, which was created in 

the “UN studio” of the world-famous 

Dutch architects Ben van Berkel and 

Caroline Bos. The striking modernity of 

the design appears to have come from 

the future – and yet preserves the tradition 

of the brand. The architecture 

illustrates the genetic make-up of the 

brand. The interior of the building is 

modelled on the double-helix structure 

of the DNA spiral which carries the 

human genes. This in turn illustrates the 

original philosophy of the Mercedes-Benz 

brand, namely the continuous invention 

of new items to maintain personal 

mobility – from the invention of the 

automobile to the future-oriented vision 

of accident–free driving. 

You are cordially invited to visit 

the complete museum during the 

Conference Social.

A View into the Stuttgart Region 




STUTTGART 

The city of Stuttgart is charmingly situated 

in the heart of one of Germany's 

largest wine-growing regions. This 

vibrant metropolis fascinates visitors from 

all over the world. The state capital of 

Baden-Württemberg delights tourists not 

only by virtue of its magnificent panorama, 

its impressive gardens and parks, 

its fine squares, splendid palaces and 

buildings in a wide range of architectural 

styles, but also by its cultural diversity. 

RECOMMENDATIONS 

Mineral Bath Leuze 

Above all with its natural, carbon rich 

and around 20° Celsius fresh healing 

waters directly from the spring for 

swimming without chlorine, the Leuze is 

Stuttgart’s first mineral water address.

Stuttgart Television Tower 

The Stuttgart television tower offers a 

most beautiful view over Stuttgart and 

the Swabian countryside as far as the 

Alps towards the south. The tower, a 

concrete and steel construction was 

opened on the February 5, 1956. 

Since then it has become the technical 

prototype for nearly all television towers 

throughout the whole world.

STUTTGART REGION 

The region around Stuttgart is a varied 

and delightful landscape. It is ideal for 

beautiful walks, cycling tours, horseriding 

expeditions and for boat trips 

along the River Neckar and on the many 


idyllic lakes. Gourmets, wine connoisseurs 

and lovers will appreciate the 

Stromberg area and Remstal, which is 

situated close to Fellbach. 

The Ludwigsburg Residenzschloss is the 

largest preserved Baroque palace in 

Germany. It was built as the ”Swabian 

Versailles“, between 1704 and 1733 for 

Duke Eberhard Ludwig and is surrounded 

by the permanent horticultural show 

”Blühendes Barock“ (Baroque in Bloom), 

a unique park landscape featuring 

garden architecture from different eras 

and regions. 

The alleys of Esslingen am Neckar, the 

former Free Imperial City, will transport 

you back into the middle ages. The 1200year-old 

history of this town becomes 

evident during a ramble through the 

lovingly restored old quarter, on a visit to 

the castle that towers above the town, or 

on a walk along the old city walls. 

The towns of Weil der Stadt, Leonberg, 

Besigheim, Waiblingen, Schwäbisch 

Gmünd, Tübingen, Herrenberg and 

Reutlingen, with their charming medieval 

centres, are attractive excursion 

destinations. Also a visit to the Kepler 

Museum in Weil der Stadt can be highly 

recommended. 

Visitors can go on a castle tour in Remseck: 

Aldingen, Hochberg and Hochdorf 

have castle complexes that date back 

from the 16th century and the remains 

of the mediaeval Remseck Castle can be 

explored in Neckarrems. Backnang offers 

radio fans a chance to visit the ”Manfred 

von Ardenne“ Radio Museum and the 

Märklin Museum in the Staufen dynasty 

town of Göppingen, is familiar to every 

model railway enthusiast.
