The historical settlements Berg , Gablenberg and Gaisburg and several settlements or residential areas that emerged from the 19th century developed into a more or less closed area in the following period.

Of the historical settlements, only Gaisburg (mentioned for the first time in the 12th century) was an independent municipality, which was incorporated into Stuttgart on April 1, 1901 and then run as a district. The coat of arms of Gaisburg shows a black goat in gold on a green three-mountain; this motif has been proven on seal images since 1768.

The Berg settlement , also proven in the 12th century, belonged to the ducal rent chamber and was administered by bailiffs before the administration was handed over to the city of Stuttgart in 1836.

Gablenberg , first mentioned in 1275, was an expansion hamlet of Berg and belonged to Stuttgart very early on. Both Berg and Gablenberg (Gaisburg anyway) were spatially separated from today's core city of Stuttgart. These three historical settlements were joined by the new Ostheim settlement, whose 383 houses were built from 1891 to 1897 and in 1903 as the Ostheim colony for workers. Another workers' settlement followed in the years 1927 to 1929 with the Raitelsberg . The Buchwald (1932 to 1955) and the Plettenberg (1939 to 1960) were settled last .

When the city of Stuttgart was divided into districts in 1956, today's Stuttgart-Ost district emerged from the district of the same name, which comprised the areas of Berg, Gablenberg, Gaisburg and Ostheim, which are no longer spatially separated, and the Frauenkopf district a little further south .

When the Stuttgart districts were restructured on January 1, 2001, these four district names were reactivated and three further districts ( Stöckach , 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.

The most striking landmark of Stuttgart-Ost is the 100 meter high gas boiler of the Gaisburg gasworks from 1928.
