What's the timezone history of Stuttgart?
Stuttgart keeps Central European Time with the rest of Germany, switching to summer time under the EU's daylight-saving schedule. Its position in the south-west places it a little closer to the offset's solar meridian than the cities of the north and east, so the gap between clock and sun is modest. The borders with France and Switzerland, both within around a hundred kilometres and both also on Central European Time, bring no change of clock for the region's heavy cross-border trade.
What are the working hours in Stuttgart?
The working culture is shaped by the engineering and manufacturing firms that dominate the regional economy, with a reputation for precision and diligence captured in the Swabian stereotype of hard work and thrift. Office and factory hours run broadly 08:00 to 17:00 on weekdays, often keyed to production and supplier schedules. The Protestant and Catholic mix of the region sets a calendar of Christian holidays, and the autumn Cannstatter Volksfest, a great beer and funfair festival, is the city's largest annual event.
Where is Stuttgart?
Stuttgart sits in a basin among wooded hills in the south-west of Germany, the capital of the state of Baden-Württemberg, threaded with vineyards that climb the slopes within the city itself. The metropolitan area holds around 2.8 million people. It is the heartland of German automotive engineering, the home city of both Mercedes-Benz and Porsche and a dense surrounding network of component makers and machine-tool firms, giving the region one of the strongest industrial bases in Europe.
