Stuttgarter Hutzelmännlein

Imagine a little spirit wandering the streets, clutching a pair of old boots. That's the image of the Stuttgarter Hutzelmännlein, steeped in mystery and tradition. Look to your left at the Stiftskirche, standing guard over the city for centuries. Did you know the story of the Hutzelmännlein is closely tied to Swabian culture and the famous Hutzelbread? This fruit-stuffed bread is said to have been invented by the little spirit himself. Behind you, near the Schiller Monument, you can almost picture the olden days when people lived by such tales. Let the magic of this fairy tale wash over you and feel the spirit of the past.
