The Pfaffenwald is a wooded area in the southwest of Stuttgart and gives its name to the Vaihinger campus of the University of Stuttgart . Both form the Pfaffenwald district . In the north, the forest of the red and wild boar park joins the park lakes . The Pfaffenwald lies on the wide plateau of the Filder and is now part of the Stuttgart-Vaihingen district .

At the edge of the Pfaffenwald lies the campus of the University of Stuttgart , next to which residential buildings were also built. Later research institutes and other universities were added on Nobelstrasse and newer residential developments on Allmandring. A former private observatory built as a tower is now the Pfaffenwald University Observatory .
