Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof (usually translated from German as Stuttgart Central Station, short form Stuttgart Hbf) is the Hauptbahnhof of the city of Stuttgart in southwestern Germany.
Located near the city centre, the main line station is a terminus, whilst the subterranean S-Bahn and Stadtbahn stations are through stations. A plan to convert the main line station to a through station, called Stuttgart 21, has been proposed in recent years but so far no agreement has been made.
The station is well known for its 12-storey tower with a large, rotating and illuminated Mercedes-Benz star insignia on top.
