Talk:Stuttgart

message: Yes, the terminals of Stuttgart Airport are located in Leinfelden-Echterdingen. But as mentioned, the runways are part in Stuttgart and Filderstadt. Additionally, Stuttgart Airport is owned by the local state government and the city of Stuttgart.
Furthermore, the most larger airports are not located directly in a city center. For example Munich Airport in Germany or as an extreme example Tokyo Narita. Since the location of the terminal is clearly mentioned in the attached link, I see no necessity to mention that issue also here directly on Stuttgart page. Sorry, but we should remove this "Echterdingen" patriotism on the Stuttgart page.
:"Patriotism" or not, an encyclopedic article should be based on facts. In an article (yet to be written) on the City of Leinfelden-Echterdingen, one could rightfully include the Airport Terminal as an example of modern architecture located in that city. Could both the Stuttgart and the Leinfelden-Echterdingen articles lay claim to the terminal? No, it is either in one of the cities or the other. One could argue that the terminal should not be mentioned in the Stuttgart article at all, because it is not in that city. However, for the reasons mentioned above (that it is named after the city and owned by it), it can be argued that it should be included. A compromise is to include the reference to the terminal, but to make the note that it is actually located outside of Stuttgart, in another city. The link does explain this, but many readers will not link to the other article and will have the false impression that the terminal is indeed in Stuttgart.
:Sometimes airports are located in the city they are named after (Denver, 40 km from the city center, is one of them); sometimes they are not (Washington National, just across the Potomac River from Washington, D.C., is an example). In other words, sometimes airports "far away" from a city are actually in them, and in other cases, really "close-in" airports are outside the city limits. One can never simply assume that an airport is or is not in a certain city, just because it is named after it. An encyclopedia should make this distinction.

message: Dear authors don't forget to add "the center of the city was devastated by US World War II bombing"!!! --Gutsul
:Even amongst Stuttgart's citizens this objection is disputed. Of course there has been severe damage done by allied air raids, but the most devastating interventions into Stuttgart's architecture have been pursued by the city council itself. Whereas WW II is history, the demolition by construction is still going on, it's latest manifestation beeing the hideous mall behind the "Königsbau".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.180.120.28 (talk) 09:59, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Devastators?

message: Interesting to see this page has been tagged. Indeed it does need references and a major overhaul!! If anyone considers themselves the owner/guardian/custodian/editor-in-chief of this page, please step forward. Otherwise I may volunteer myself though I'm sure there are more worthy people of the role (local historian?).
Having compared it to other pages of this ilk on German cities, in places this page reads like it's been cobbled together by day-trippers, people keen to show folks at home where they live, tourists "doing Europe" etc.
In particular it would make sense to look carefully at
* a) the history section, which is in places cursory and could be expanded vs. the German page
* b) images - too much focus on too few places. Stuttgart is peppered with fascinating historical architecture and sights beyond Schlossplatz and the city centre
* c) transportation - like many pages on Germany this area creates the impression that the only thing to say about the city is how to get there, facts of interests to trainspotters and which underground services it provides; too much weighting on this section versus others
* d) local culture... nothing on the derth of information available on this.
As a first step I propose raiding the rich treasure of info on German pages and thus
* 1) removing detailed Schlossplatz entries and setting up a new page just for this (have just set up stub)
* 2) expanding history, buildings (!), parks, economy, politics, sports (and thus readjusting whole emphasis of this page)
Anyone else interested in delving deeper?
:Ideas for culture: Maybe some stuff about modern Theater productions and the :musicals out by Plenigen. 
:Should Nightlife be mentioned? You know, some stuff about clubs, bars, a mention of Theo-Heuss str. 
:I could knock up a bit about Stuttgart Hip-Hop, you know, a brief mention of big artists and key places.

message: I am trying to clean up Wikipedia to create a standard naming convention for twinned towns.
I propose that we remove 'UK' from Cardiff and St. Helens. 
Town Twinning is decided upon on either a town council or national level - so in my opinon mentioning the country is enough.
Please can I have opinions or if anyone would object.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.91.42.130 (talk) 13:21, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The issue with this particular twinning is what "country" means and that Stuttgart made a conscious effort to have more than one twin town in the "UK". Since devolution and moves to make certain areas of the UK more autonomous, there are valid reasons to show that Cardiff is specifically in Wales and St. Helens is specifically in England. Imagine now a town in Scotland twins with Stuttgart: there is a Scottish parliament and thus you'd probably want to flag the town with the Scottish flag, not the Union Jack (at least most Scotsmen would!). Personally I don't care either way, but I think the distinction should be retained. (btw: if you're making this a personal mission, why not sign up and join a project group?)

message: I'm all for mentioning this, but the content neither reflects the German page on Stuttgart, on which the total overhaul was originally based, nor includes enough reference for it to stand up to scrutiny. e.g. "In a wider sense" - whose sense? "Can be regarded" reads like journalist speak for, "but I have no references for this". "Usually are not included any more" - so what is usual? To what does this refer - people's immediate association, a commuter belt, or a tangible dialect-based regional split? I understand entirely the point being made - Amberg in Oberpfalz is "seen" as being more associated with Regensburg than Nuremberg, while towns closer to Nuremberg but still in Oberpfalz are "seen" as more in the Nuremberg area. But there it is caused by the dialect split between Oberpfälzisch and Fränkisch. Could we find a more factual way to describe this "periphery" around Stuttgart? Rather than what people "consider" the Stuttgart area to be? There must be reliable references for it somewhere? BuzzWoof (talk) 15:57, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

message: The mention of the tram system is severely misleading in my opinion. "Until 2007, Stuttgart also operated regular trams." sounds a lot like the tram system had been discontinued without any replacement, whereas the reality is that the tram lines were replaced with Stadtbahn lines - in quite some cases, it was even more of a "replace older trains that look like traditional trams with newer ones that are called 'Stadtbahn' in Stuttgart" situation. 129.69.215.20 (talk) 07:44, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
