Stuttgart - Schillerplatz

Flanking the Old Palace is Schillerplatz (underground parking lot), with a monument to Schiller by Thorvaldsen. On the northeast side of the square is the Alte Kanzlei (Old Chancery; ca. 1500).

On the northwest side stands the Prinzenbau (begun in 1605 by Schickhardt, finished a hundred years later by Matthias Weiss), which during the reign of Duke Eberhard Ludwig (1677-1733) was the residence of his heir, Prince Friedrich Ludwig; it is now occupied by the Ministry of Justice. On the southwest side of the square is the old Fruchtkasten (Granary; 1390) and adjoining it the choir of the Stiftskirche.
