A Württemberg court city turned industrial capital. Stuttgart's distinctive professions are theologians, academics, authors, and architects — the offices of the old Swabian-Lutheran bureaucracy that produced Hegel and Schiller — alongside an unusually heavy economist and judge column from the postwar capital of Baden-Württemberg. Hegel is the most famous son, with Weizsäckers and Daimlers and Porsches a few shelves further down, and the 19th-century bench reads more like a university seminar than a baroque court.
One face per century — the most globally famous figure born in Stuttgart during each.
