History
Remnants of Roman settlement have been found on the corner of Heusteigstrasse and Bopserstrasse. The village of Immenhofen is supposed to have lain north of today's Wilhelmsplatz from the 6th/7th century on. Modern development began gradually from around 1850; closed development only took place at the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th century.
Local Transport
The bus number 43 runs along Olgastraße.
Sightseeing Features
The Eduard Pfeiffer House, which was built in 1887 in the historicist style, is located at Heusteigstrasse No. 45. It was built as a dormitory for single men from the “Association for the Welfare of the Working Classes,” chaired by the social reformer Eduard Pfeiffer, and today it still serves primarily as a student dormitory. The house has a hall for cultural events, in which the Württemberg state parliament met after the Second World War and then the Baden-Württemberg state parliament until 1961. The ABV Zimmertheater venue is in the basement.
