InTramCities  with Gordon Stewart : Closed tramway alignments

Stuttgart, Germany

The closure of the Rosensteinbrucke over the Neckar in the Bad Cannstatt area in May 2022 on structural safety grounds resulted in the closure of the tracks in Badstrasse between Wilhelmsplatz in Bad Cannstatt and a realigned Rosensteinbrucke stop. Stadtbahn services were diverted across the Konig-Karls-Brucke and along a connecting curve to Wilhelma and on to Rosensteinbrucke tram stop - a significantly longer route for this important link between eastern and north-western parts of the city area avoiding the city centre.

Above : June 2025 : View along Badstrasse at Wilhelmsplatz. Overhead is still in place and rails in Badstrasse as well but the station area track has been covered to ease vehicular assess to Badstrasse. The line was converted from tram to Stadtbahn in September 1997 and high platforms installed
