Bad Cannstatt with its city districts Burgholzhof, Steinhaldenfeld and Sommerrain is the largest and oldest city district of Stuttgart. United with Stuttgart on the 1st April 1905, the until then independent main office city looks back on a long and rich history and this not only since the elevation to city status by Emperor Ludwig IV. In 1330. Stoneage hunters, Celts, Romans and Alemans had already settled there centuries ago. Besides the lively historical city centre, there are many attractive sights and events to attract visitors. With the can - “Kanne” - on red background, Cannstadt possesses a so-called speaking coat of arms which comes from the name of the location and which has the former city limits marked on several directional signs. The prefix “Bad” comes from the mineral water wells. Today no longer known as a spa, the healing mineral water can still be enjoyed in the mineral baths (Leuze, mineral bath Cannstadt and mineral bath Berg). Information about the baths can be found under “Stuttgart baths”.

Besides water, wine has been playing an important role at all times in Bad Cannstadt. Position names such as "Cannstatter Zuckerle" and "Cannstatter Berg" are known well beyond the borders of Württemberg, even though the juice of the grapes is mainly drunk directly on location.
