Weißenburgpark is a five-hectare public park in Stuttgart-Süd’s Bopser area, combining paths, seating, and historic buildings. Its walking paths run close beside Bundesstraße 27. At its highest point, roughly 370 metres above sea level, a viewing platform overlooks Stuttgart. A memorial stone honours the painter Reinhold Nägele.

The site takes its name from a medieval Württemberg castle, destroyed in 1312 without leaving visible remains. Albert Föhr later built a classical-style villa there. Ernst von Sieglin commissioned the park’s redesign and the Tea House and Marble Hall during the early twentieth century. The city of Stuttgart bought the property in 1956. The city opened the grounds as a public park for the 1961 Bundesgartenschau.

The Tea House stands as a round neoclassical pavilion from 1913. Columns support its dome, whose skylights accompany Julius Mössel’s rococo paintings. The Marble Hall occupies the slope below it. Inside, Mössel’s grotesque paintings show water deities and creatures, while travertine reliefs and stone putti mark the grounds. The former Villa Weißenburg was demolished in 1964. Ida Herion used the garden for a photo shoot in the 1920s.
