Conference Banquet

Thursday, October 12th, 2017, 19:30 h

Kursaal Cannstatt
Königsplatz 1
70372 Stuttgart

The conference banquet on Thursday 12th of October will take place in the “Kursaal Bad Cannstatt” The historical building was built in the early 19th century by King Wilhelm I. as a bathhouse for the royal society. After a fire during the Second World War, it was rebuilt in 1949 and refurbished in 2013 when it gained its characteristic appearance with a mixture of old and new elements. The Kursaal is located right next to the Kurpark, a recreation area with the memorial site of Gottlieb Daimler, including the greenhouse and workshop where he used to work from 1882 as well as the Daimler Tower he constructed in 1884.


The location is easily to reach by public transport and several parking spaces are also available. For the conference banquet, swabian-german food, like the typical “Maultaschen” and “Spätzle” will be served, combined with a choice of local wine.
