The Teehaus of 1913
Built as a gift for Sieglin's wife, now a restaurant with a terrace.
A five-hectare park on the Bopser slope in southern Stuttgart, rising above the city and looking straight down into the floor of the basin. It was the private property of the industrialist Ernst von Sieglin until his heirs sold it to the city in 1956, and it opened to the public in 1961 during the federal garden show after eighteen months of works. Two buildings survive from Sieglin's time. In 1913 he had the Teehaus built as a gift for his wife, who received her friends there for tea. Below it he built the Marmorsaal, a pavilion decorated with rococo ceiling paintings and an elegant colonnade, where he held his evening entertainments. The Weissenburg itself was one of seven castles that ringed the Stuttgart valley in the middle ages, destroyed by troops from Esslingen in the thirteenth century in a quarrel over toll rights, and nothing of it remains above ground. The park is free and open. The Teehaus works today as a restaurant and beer garden, and many Stuttgarters count its terrace the finest view in the city. The Marmorsaal is an events and wedding venue, so you will usually see it only from outside. The climb up from the city is steep, and the funicular from Suedheimer Platz or a bus will save your legs a good deal of work.

Usually not. It is rented for weddings and concerts rather than kept open for visitors, and unless a public event is on you will see its colonnade from the garden only. The Teehaus above it is an ordinary restaurant and its terrace is open to anyone who orders a drink.
