"What insights does a quick look at the chronologically listed event from 125 years of culture and art in Stuttgart provide? First of all: Stuttgart has a significant share in some key turning-points and achievements in 20th century German culture. The legendary buildings in the 1927 Weißenhof Estate are internationally known and a continuing attraction, and additionally in the context of architecture we have Erich Mendelsohn’s Schocken department store (1926-28), the construction of the first German television tower (1954) and James Stirling’s Staatsgalerie (1984) as an early example of post-modern building, to mention only these 'landmarks.'"
