A true piece of Stuttgart history
The Marble Hall is an important historical landmark of the city. Built in 1912 by the wealthy industrialist Ernst Sieglin, it served as a ballroom for the city’s entire social elite. Sieglin realized his dream of a villa with a park and a tennis court on the roof. Inspired by his numerous travels, he integrated art and impressions into Weißenburgpark that can still be admired today. The water features in the park are still in operation and can be used on request.
Decades later, after extensive renovation work, the Marble Hall is now a popular venue for cultural events in Stuttgart. The property was sold to the city in 1956 and redesigned in the course of the 1961 Federal Garden Show, with picturesque paths and terraces offering breathtaking views of Stuttgart. From the roundabout, you can look out over the city and see the television tower when you look back. The viewing platform invites you to enjoy a relaxing picnic in the garden.
