Rohr combines traces of the past with S-Bahn and bus connections. The history of the site of St. Lawrence’s Church dates back to the 14th century; several modes of transport are available when planning your journey. Current timetables can help you assess which connections suit your travel times.
Church History and the Townscape of Rohr
The history of the historic site of St. Lawrence’s Church dates back to the 14th century. The Gothic choir tower, with a half-timbered upper section dating from 1740, has been preserved. The former nave was replaced by a modern community centre in 1980. A Gothic renovation of the former St. Lawrence’s Church in 1588 is also documented.
The dates relate to different chapters in the town’s history: the long history of the church site, the Gothic renovation, the half-timbered upper section and the replacement of the former nave. Rohr motte-and-bailey castle is another historical landmark: the castle site was first mentioned in 1348. The historic town centre lies on the southern slope of the Glemswald forest.

Visitors can watch specialists repairing historic vehicles through a pane of glass. The Mercedes-Benz Museum, opened in 2006, presents 160 vehicles and more than 1,500 exhibits across nine exhibition levels. Two tours structure the collection: the first comprises seven “Mythos Rooms,” and the second five “Collections Rooms.” The building has no enclosed rooms or straight walls; its interior is modelled on a DNA double helix.
Stuttgart also offers a variety of options for those looking to spend time in green surroundings. The Green U is an eight-kilometre, U-shaped green corridor stretching from the city centre to Killesberg Heights Park. In the 100-hectare Rosenstein Park, visitors can stroll among native and exotic trees and use the lawns for picnics. The 42-metre-high Killesberg Tower has four platforms at heights of 8, 16, 24 and 31 metres; from there, the view extends across Stuttgart and the Neckar Valley.
Stuttgart also caters to culinary interests: the market hall offers, among other things, fruit and vegetables, sausages and meat, spices, and flowers. The Stuttgart Wine Village has been held every year since 1974, from late August to early September. At the Hocketse, regional food and wine are served; visitors can sample hundreds of wines from Baden-WĂĽrttemberg, along with traditional Swabian dishes.
