"Transformations in Stuttgart: Paving the way for eco-friendly transportation in daily routines"
Stuttgart, the vibrant city of Baden-Württemberg, is inviting its residents and visitors to rediscover a unique and practical mode of transportation - the Stäffele. These historic footpaths and stairs, originally built during Stuttgart's mid-19th century expansion, are now being highlighted as an essential part of the city's modern environmental network.
The city's campaign, "Stuttgart Steigt Um," aims to showcase the Stäffele as practical connections to public transportation, offering a personal, direct, and unique experience of Stuttgart. The campaign's motto, "You are Stuttgart. You walk Stäffele," emphasizes the functional and emotional benefits of these footpaths.
With more than 400 Stäffele throughout the city, totaling approximately 30 kilometers in length, these footpaths save time, encourage movement, and invite exploration of the city. Many Stäffele are conveniently located near U-Bahn and bus stops, providing easy connections to public transportation.
The campaign will be showcasing the Stäffele through posters, postcards, digital content, and a website in September. The campaign's website, www.stuttgart-steigt-um.de/staeffele, provides more information about the campaign and its planned actions.
One of the campaign's highlights is "Stäffeles Day," happening on Saturday, September 27th, at Eugenplatz. Visitors can enjoy a late summer festival, free Stäffeles tours, information stands, refreshments, and greetings from the city administration.
The Stäffele are not always perceived as a practical mobility solution in daily life, but the campaign aims to change this perception. By highlighting the Stäffele's practicality in daily life and their connections to public transport, known as "favorite connections," the campaign seeks to demonstrate the Stäffele's practicality and convenience.
In recent years, Stuttgart has rediscovered the importance of the Stäffele for its transportation infrastructure. As part of a modern environmental network, the Stäffele contribute to a sustainable urban environment, offering an eco-friendly alternative to motorized transportation.
Join the campaign and discover the unique Stäffele of Stuttgart. Whether you're a resident or a visitor, the Stäffele offer a chance to explore the city in a personal, direct, and unique way. So, put on your walking shoes and step into Stuttgart's history with the Stäffele.
