What you can expect

Experience the “Miracle of Stuttgart”: Europe's largest city model unfolds over 180 m², faithfully replicating the urban landscape of Stuttgart in the 80s and 90s – created by just one person, Wolfgang Frey.

Over a 15-year construction period, the dispatcher created a city model that is unique in the world from waste materials, bulky waste, paint, and glue as a side project. Every single element is unique: Over 450 buildings on a scale of 1:160, 2,500 hand-painted vehicles, and 4,000 trees bring the past to life. The 2,500 individually crafted tombstones and the former, functioning signal box with an 8-meter-long control panel and 8 control tables are particularly fascinating.

Nothing comes from prefabricated kits! Everything was researched, planned, and built with the utmost precision by Wolfgang Frey himself. The view of the streets, the buildings, the trains and even the smallest details such as rubbish bins and fences brings the city's history to life in miniature form. Every building tells a storey, and every scene has been given an abundance of small details that will amaze you.

The average visit lasts about 1.5 hours, but the fascinating insight into this world will offer you much more. Personal explanations and interesting anecdotes about the individual models bring you closer to the art-historical masterpiece and allow you to immerse yourself even deeper in the miniature world.

An experience for all generations: Whether big or small, young or old – this unique city model fascinates and enchants its visitors and lets them experience a city history that creates a large whole from tiny details. An unforgettable experience that you will remember for a long time to come.
