The facility is spread over two locations: the chamber's administration building is located at Heilbronner Strasse 43 in Stuttgart, and the training academy for the Chamber of Crafts and Crafts Region Stuttgart is at Holderäckerstrasse 37 in the Weilimdorf district of Stuttgart.
Statutory duties
With around 130 employees, the Chamber of Crafts represents the interests of the entire trade in its chamber district. Membership is binding for all independent craftsmen as well as their journeymen and apprentices. The chamber acts as a self-governing body for the craft sector under the supervision of the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Economics . As a corporation under public law, the Ministry of Economic Affairs delegates the legal supervision of the guilds and the district craft associations in the chamber district. The Chamber of Crafts registers its members in the craft register and regulates vocational training in the craft trades . Among other things, she keeps the apprenticeship role , a directory of all vocational training contracts in her district . In journeyman's and master's examination committees, their members regulate the respective examinations for the individual professions.
Range of services
In addition to its statutory tasks, the Stuttgart Region Chamber of Skilled Crafts comes to the fore primarily through advisory and training opportunities. First and foremost, it sees itself today as a service center for companies such as craftsmen and advises on legal, business, technical, environmental, foreign trade and training-related matters. Among other things, the Starter Center helps budding entrepreneurs with planning and takes care of numerous start-up formalities for them. Companies that are looking for a successor for their previous owner, as well as start-ups who want to continue an existing company, are supported by the chamber with its company exchange, which is part of the nexxt-change joint initiative. The environmental advisory service explains existing requirements of the legislature and explains to the companies how they can meet these requirements. Furthermore, the work of the Chamber of Crafts extends to the political representation of interests and covers the classic area of professional licensing law, examinations, the fight against illegal work and the expert system.
education
The Chamber's training advice is aimed at both the trainers in the companies and their trainees. In total, around 6,500 companies trained around 12,200 young people in 2008; the 3400 girls are compared to 8800 boys. With training exchanges, the Chamber of Crafts tries to bring both sides - businesses and young people interested in crafts - together. In schools, at career information fairs, with workshops and on her website, she explains the more than 100 different trades, runs training courses for applicants for apprenticeships and supports companies with training projects. The Baden-Württemberg Chamber of Skilled Crafts maintains a joint internet platform for recruiting young talent: handwerks-power.de. Various campaigns such as the information tour through over 50 schools in the Stuttgart region make this website known to the public.

In addition, the seminars on offer convey knowledge of corporate management, business administration and law, communication and IT, and professional training.

history
An amendment to the trade regulations enacted in 1897 also led to the establishment of a Chamber of Crafts in Stuttgart. The founding meeting of the Stuttgart Chamber of Crafts took place on December 3, 1900 at 11 a.m. in the building of the Stuttgart State Trade Museum - today's Haus der Wirtschaft. From 1906, the Chamber of Crafts and the Stuttgart Chamber of Commerce and Industry operated a joint legal advice center for their members. Since February 11, 1929, the chamber has kept its handicrafts register, which lists all independent craftsmen in the chamber district. In the same year, the control by Reich Commissioners , which had been binding until then, was no longer applicable.
time of the nationalsocialism
The DC circuit by the Nazis brought in between March and June 1933, the craft organizations to the political line of the NSDAP . From then on, the Stuttgart Chamber of Crafts regularly took part in marches and public vows and used the jargon typical of the time in speeches and publications. In February 1939, the NSDAP member Philipp Baetzner became President of the Chamber of Crafts. On January 1, 1943 put an imperial decree of July 1942, the chambers of trade with the Chambers of Commerce to Gauwirtschaftskammern together. On this date, the Stuttgart Chamber of Crafts formally ceased to exist as an independent institution. The building in which the Gau Chamber of Commerce was housed was completely destroyed on September 12, 1944 by an Allied air raid. The data of the handicrafts roll from the time before this day was almost completely lost.
New start after the end of the war
In 1945, after the end of the Second World War , Stuttgart was occupied to a small extent by French and the greater part by American occupation. In 1948, the American occupation forces enforced complete freedom of trade, which was expressly confirmed for Württemberg in January 1949. However, the craft regulations passed in 1953 restored the self-administration of the craft and thus also the Stuttgart Chamber of Crafts.
Recent developments
In the first five decades of its existence, the Chamber of Crafts had nine different offices in Stuttgart. On January 26, 1962, she inaugurated her administration building at Heilbronner Strasse 43, on whose property the chamber is still located today. There is now a newer building next to this building, which was occupied in 2004 and handed over to its intended use on November 18, 2005.
In Stuttgart-Weilimdorf, a training center for the craft of the region was established in March 1980, which opened on May 17, 1982 as a vocational training center (BBZ). It later changed its name to the Education and Technology Center (BTZ), and since 2006 it has been called the Crafts Education Academy . The Landesakademie des Handwerks, which should not be confused with it, is also located in the building of the Bildungsakademie.
Name change
The Stuttgart Chamber of Crafts changed its name to the Stuttgart Region Chamber of Crafts in November 1995 in order to underline its ties with the districts around Stuttgart. Since 1963 it has had a partnership with the Strasbourg-based Chambre de Métiers d'Alsace .
