Tour of the town

It freezes and there is quite a draft, there is noise and there are echoes,
It dawns and the night falls, it is ill-fitted and hungry: street as a living room
where only guests feel at home?


In cooperation with the street newspaper „Trott-War“ we offer an alternative guided tour
Stuttgart lesser known locations ...

Have you already taken a look behind the scenes? Everybody will know Stuttgart with all its beauty and sights. The question is, what happens beyond beautiful and expensive. With this alternative guided tour, the street newspaper „Trot-War“ tries to direct attention to the unpleasant face of Stuttgart: Poverty, homelessness and addiction are also there.
We show you Stuttgart's streets as a place of residence for all the people who are just less visible in societal life and the places they inhabit. We sharpen your senses for the rougher venues like frostbite protection and machines for syringe exchange.

On a two-hour walk through the streets you will experience where people on the fringe of our society receive a little welfare and warmth. Where they eat, protect themselves from cold or wetness, where they wash or change their clothes, where they are cared for medically or can simply have a rest from their often restless life. Gisela Mielke, Wolf Engel and Joachim Weber report from the hard life on the street. These are the places "in the spotlight", says the title of the alternative guided tour. Trott-being sellers. They have lived in the streets themselves. They talk about homelessness and addiction from their own experience.

The guided tour starts at a popular meeting place of many homeless persons, the Marienplatz - today a naked concrete platform. Good for surveillance but no longer a place for those who have to accomodate themselves out there. Further along Hauptstätter Strasse, from the Hans-Sachs-house, a dorm for men, past Café Maus, a place where the drug substitute methadone is provided, to SleepInn, the emergency accomodation and contact point for drug addicts.
