Münster am Neckar is the smallest of the 23 districts of Stuttgart . It is located in the northeast of the state capital, directly on the Neckar .

history

Münster am Neckar 1900

The first written mention of it comes from the year 1193. Münster am Neckar was assigned to the Cannstatt Oberamt in the course of the administrative reform of the state of Württemberg in 1818 and was part of the Neckar District until its dissolution in 1923 . Thereafter, Münster was assigned to the Stuttgart District Office until it was incorporated into Stuttgart on July 1, 1931 and then run as a district.

When the city of Stuttgart was divided into city districts in 1956, the Münster district was declared a city district , which was not changed when the Stuttgart districts were reorganized on January 1, 2001.

Economy and Transport

The city district has a train station on the Untertürkheim – Kornwestheim freight bypass line, which was opened in 1896 ("Schusterbahn"). The Royal Württemberg State Railways built the station building as a type IIIa unit station . From 1926 to 2000, the industrial railway to Bad Cannstatt went from Münster station . The 885 meter long Stuttgart-Münster railway viaduct was built in 1896 as the "King Wilhelm Viaduct" and replaced in 1985 by a new building. Today the regional train line R11 (Stuttgart-Untertürkheim - Kornwestheim) operates there.

The city district is also integrated into the Stuttgart local transport network by the lines U12 and U14 of the Stuttgart city railway and the SSB bus line 56 from Münster Bahnhof via Hallschlag and Bad Cannstatt to the Mercedes-Benz world .

The Neckar was canalized between 1928 and 1932 and made navigable in 1958.
