Photos from Stuttgart

During our time in Stuttgart, I took lots of photos. All the Photos were taken on an iPhone 15 Pro Max with Pro Raw, and I edited the photos inside Adobe Lightroom. I wanted to keep the Photo more realistic, except with the bottom left, where I chose to edit it more creatively.

Mercedes & Porche Museum

These photos are from the Porche and Mercerdies-Benz museums. The entrance to both is shown in the two photos left. They each have their own unique design style in the insides of the museums, too.

The middle photo showcases the popemobile, the vehicle that Pope Benedict used to ride in when he was alive. The vehicle was used to help keep the pope safe while still allowing him to be seen by the public.

The top right photo is of a concept car Mercedes made that never moved and was supposed to beat the land speed record in 1930 before it was canceled because of WWII.

The bottom right photo is of some of Porsche's most interesting red cars. there are the classic cars like the 911 and race cars used on the track. But the most fun is the kid's car costs $15,000 and is a smaller version of the 911 but as a convertible.

Tübingen

Tübingen is a beautiful city in Southern Germany. The photo on the left showcases some historical buildings juxtaposed with graffiti culture.

The photo in the middle shows the famous colorful house of Tübingen. and is a beautiful part of the town. There is also an old hospital that used to host mentally ill patients.

The photo on the right shows the church in the center of the Tübingen. It is still active, hosts events regularly, and has existed since 1470.

Stuttgart 21

These photos are all from the Stuttgart 21 project. This is a train station expansion and replacement project that has been very controversial because of the over-budget and delays.

The left photo shows how tunnels spit into many parts when the train departs from the station. It is one of the most complete parts of the Stuttgart 21 project. The fire suppression system is hanging from the ceiling, and each light color has its meaning. The green means the nearby exit, and the blue means water access in case of fire.

The middle photo shows one of the exciting tunnels. It is less complete than the left photo because there are protective blocks over the train tracks.

The right photo shows the exit of the tunnel to the main station. The tour guide estimated that the project will be done by 2027 and not the announced 2025 opening date. The project still has lots of work to finish. Is it worth the 11 billion Euro price tag?
