Yesterday I got three postcards: two from Germany and one from France.
One of the cards from Germany is the Chronicle card of Stuttgart. Stuttgart was first mentioned in 1229 and got the town privileges in 1254. In 1316 became Stuttgart the residence of the Counts of Württemberg and in 1482 the capital of Württemberg. During World War II was Stuttgart heavily destroyed, but later rebuilt. From 1945 to 1952 was the city the capital of Württemberg-Baden and since then it has been the capital of the German State of Baden-Württemberg, of which it is also the largest city. Today is Stuttgart the sixth largest city of Germany and an important location of the economy.
