4 unusual facts about Tuttlingen station


Tuttlingen station

The first Tuttlingen station was located near the current roundabout at Aesculap-Platz, at the intersection of federal highways 14 and 311 just outside the settlement and off the road network at the time.

Although the building had been planned by the railway administration in Stuttgart before the Nazi seizure of power, there are also similarities with monumental Nazi architecture.

It was very conveniently situated on the so-called Swiss Post Road (Schweizer Poststraße), a major north-south road link from Stuttgart to the Swiss border near Schaffhausen.

An average of 280 workers found employment daily at Tuttlingen station during the 1928–1933 construction period, representing a huge relief for the local labour market, which had been battered by the global economic crisis.
