Berg is a district of Stuttgart-Ost . The historic, now partially industrialized district is located between Stuttgart-Mitte and the Neckar on the opposite bank of the Cannstatt river . Some mineral springs located near the river have been known since Roman times .
The neo-Gothic Berger Church is a dominant urban focal point on the way from the Neckar Valley to downtown Stuttgart. Since the expansion of the royal seat in the 19th century, the church tower has been one of the lines of sight that were still romantic at the time.
The center of Berg goes back to a settlement documented since the 12th century, which was incorporated into Stuttgart in 1836. For centuries it belonged to the ducal rent chamber and was administered by officials.
The neighboring district of Gaisburg , which also dates back to the 12th century, was, however, an independent municipality and only became part of Stuttgart in 1901.
Gablenberg , a hamlet of Berg that has been evidenced since 1275, also belonged to Stuttgart- Berg. He came to Stuttgart very early on, although - like Berg and Gaisburg - he was spatially separated from today's core city of Stuttgart. With the construction of several housing estates, these parts of the city became a largely enclosed area. Since 1956, the three historical settlements with a few workers' settlements and the Uhlandshöhe have formed the core of today's Stuttgart-Ost district , which was expanded to include Stöckach and the suburban settlement on Frauenkopf .
When the Stuttgart districts were restructured on January 1, 2001, these four district names were reactivated and three further districts ( Ostheim , Uhlandshöhe and Gänsheide ) were formed by dividing the Stuttgart-East district accordingly. With the Frauenkopf district on the hillside, the Stuttgart-East district has since comprised eight districts.

Well-known plants and buildings
- Mineral bath Berg : The mineral bath known colloquially as the “Neuner” or the “Berg” was opened in 1856 by the court gardener Friedrich Neuner as the “Bath at the Royal Park”. The area borders directly on the Lower Palace Garden in downtown Stuttgart and has belonged entirely to the city since 2006; its five mineral water sources feed 5 million liters daily into large indoor and outdoor pools . During the construction of the mineral bath, the remains of a tower of the former Berg water castle were found.
- Mineralbad Leuze The municipal bath, which is located directly on the Neckar and attracts 900,000 visitors annually, was designed in 1985 by sculptor Otto Herbert Hajek in an artistically modern way. The mineral springs, which were already known in Roman times, were bought by Ludwig Friedrich Karl Leuze in 1851 and turned into a spa. Two highly carbonated medicinal springs and a mineral spring for part of the total of eight swimming and bathing pools with over 1,700 square meters of water gush here. The 1,500 square meter sauna area offers plenty of space in nine saunas.

Berger Church : The Protestant church was built between 1853 and 1855 in neo -Gothic styleon the site of a medieval pilgrimage and parish church from the 13th to 15th centuries. The Gothic font (around 1470)comes from her. Also remarkable is the large organ with 25 registers from 1956.
As the first neo-Gothic church building in Württemberg , the Berger Church is an architectural monument for the city and region - and should also be a prototype for Protestant church buildings in Württemberg in the 19th century (see Eisenacher Regulativ 1861). The remains of the wrestling wall of Berg Castle from the 12th century can also be found here. - Villa Berg : Erected 1845–53 by Christian Friedrich Leins , the neo-renaissance villa and its 24-hectare parkserved as the summer residence ofthe Württemberg Crown Prince Karl . Her Italian style was exemplary for the19th centurysouthwest German villa architecture . In 1913 the facility became the property of the city and after its reconstruction, the villa was the broadcasting studio for Südwestrundfunk from 1950 to 2004.
- Japan Garden Stuttgart : the garden directly below Villa Berg waslaid outfor the IGA in 1993 .
- Rosenstein Bridge : Coming from Bad Cannstatt , the railway crosses the Neckar here shortly after leaving the Rosenstein Tunnel . The first wooden bridge, built in 1846 for the Zentralbahn, rested on eight central pillars. In 1858 it was replaced by a cast iron bridge, and in 1914 by a four-track structure. The bridge, which was blown up in 1945, was soon restored.
