Stuttgart, the capital of Baden-Württemberg, is at the heart of the fourth-largest metro area in Germany. We will explore the history of this region from its Jurassic marine life, to its present development as a high-tech economic hub. The Museum am Löwentor, with its world-famous fossil and amber collections, will be one of the highlights of our stay.

One of Germany’s oldest university cities, this was the location of Johannes Kepler’s early life and education. Our studies here will range from Kepler’s contribution to the scientific revolution, to contemporary research performed at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics.
