Wild Boar Enclosure at Saufang Pavilion

Highlight • Structure

Enclosures in the wild boar and red deer park, where the animals are primarily visible during feeding times. Otherwise, the animals mostly hide in the undergrowth on the large grounds or are sometimes difficult to see.

Birkenkopf Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

Birch head or Monte Scherbelino. No matter how you call the 511 m high mountain. For mountain bikers, it offers a fantastic view over the whole city. On a clear day, even the Swabian Alb, the northern Black Forest and the lowlands tower next to Stuttgart. Great escape from the city!

Birkenkopf Memorial Plaque

Highlight • Monument

Shortly before the summit, there is a memorial plaque attached directly to the rubble in memory of the victims of the war. The plaque is part of the memorial, which also includes the summit cross and the stepped structure on the summit.

The memorial was built in 1957/1958 based on designs by the architect Professor Manfred Pahl.

The rubble, which is still clearly visible today, is part of the memorial. At the time, it was deliberately created as clearly recognizable piles of rubble as part of the memorial. They are symbolic of the local history that needs to be researched both scientifically and artistically.

Birkenkopf information board

Highlight • Monument

As in many other cities, the rubble in Stuttgart had to be removed from the city after the war. In Stuttgart, much of the rubble was deposited on the Birkenkopf, a natural hill in the west of the city. The locals therefore also call the Birkenkopf 'Monte Scherbelino'. This information stone can be found at the foot of the Birkenkopf.
