Wartberg (Stuttgart)
The Wartberg is a valley basin east of the Killesberg in the northeast of Stuttgart, tangentially enclosed by Stresemannstrasse in the west and Heilbronner Strasse in the east. The Wartberg thus belongs to the inner city district of Stuttgart-Nord .
The name comes from the Outbound Burg Wartenberg back.
The Wartberg used to be an allotment garden with orchards and inaccessible vineyards as well as private nurseries, characterized by terrain rising 60 meters to the west. At the beginning of the 1990s it was redesigned and re-parceled for the International Horticultural Exhibition 1993 (IGA'93) and laid out according to ecological criteria. Today, two serpentine paths meander along the slope. In between there are numerous walls and stairs that date back to the time when viticulture shaped the character of the area. In the middle is the filigree building of the ecology center, in the northern part the Naturfreundehaus Steinbergle am Killesberg . Downhill, past various art stations, one arrives at the optical eye-catcher of the Wartberg, the Egelsee with its artificial environment specially designed for the IGA. It is followed by a number of smaller lakes, called "crayfish tails" because of their shape. Water-spouting geometric figures enliven the 5000 square meter lake area.
The Bombay footbridge and the Brünner footbridge across Heilbronner Straße (named after foreign twin cities) connect the Wartberg to the southeast with the Leibfried Garden .

For the IGA '93, the landscape architect Hans Luz took up the station concept that he and his office had already tried out at the 1977 Federal Garden Show in Stuttgart and the 1981 State Garden Show in Baden-Baden:
- “So we looked for places where destination and stopover points, stations could be created with designed condensation and invented names for the respective location: Bei der Buche, Grottenloch, Keuper, Donars Stich, Der Leibfried etc. We thought about it to connect these points with a course that reflects a curriculum vitae: love, birth, play, creation, dreams, politics, living, living and passing away. We wanted to include the word in this path and realize the whole thing together with artists and writers we know and trust. "
Of the art stations that were built for the IGA in the Höhenpark Killesberg , on the Wartberg and in the Leibfriedschen Garten , 11 are still preserved today, including the Killesberg tower , which was planned for the IGA but was only built in 2001.
