Scharnhauser Park is a new district of Ostfildern , most of which is in the Nellingen district . The place is centrally located in Ostfildern between the districts of Ruit , Parksiedlung , Nellingen, Kemnat and Scharnhausen .
history
The 140 hectare part of the city takes its name from the former stud park of the Royal Private Stud Scharnhausen founded by King Wilhelm I of Württemberg in 1817. The Nellingen Barracks, a US Army barracks , was previously located on the site from 1951 to 1992 . Thereafter, the site was used as accommodation during the 1993 World Athletics Championships . Since then, the high-altitude area has been built as a model city district - for this, the city of Ostfildern and the planners Alban Janson and Sophie Wolfrum were awarded the German Urban Development Prize in 2006 . The core of their development concept was a landscape staircase running through the area from north-west to south-east to connect the various parts of the settlement. The Scharnhauser Park has been an independent district of Ostfildern since 2006.
In 2002 Ostfildern hosted the Baden-Württemberg State Garden Show , which took place in Scharnhauser Park. The Flammende Sterne fireworks festival has been held here every year since 2003 .

The Scharnhauser Park is also considered "ecological model village" and is - along with districts in Turin and Barcelona - part of the EU research project POLYCITY (funding period 2005-2010), which is designed to develop energy-efficient buildings and the use of renewable energy sources is . The model estate is designed for 9,000 residents and 2,500 jobs, of which around two thirds have been implemented at the beginning of 2010. The connecting link and a landmark that is easily recognizable from the air is the one kilometer long and 30 meter wide “landscape staircase”, which slopes slightly to the south.
