Stuttgart Neckarpark station

Stuttgart Neckarpark station is in the German city of Stuttgart and is located at the chainage of 5.6 kilometres on the Fils Valley Railway and is a station on the network of the Stuttgart S-Bahn.

The Cannstatter Wasen has been a fairground and exhibition area since the 19th century. In 1928 the city of Stuttgart exchanged land on the Wasen owned by the State of Wurttemberg with land in the district of Burgholzhof in northwestern Bad Cannstatt. It intended to create a major new stadium on the site, which served as a training ground among other things. The link to the new sports facility proved to be a problem, because neither Cannstatt station nor Untertürkheim station were close enough for visitors.
