Beneath our feet, the Nesenbach-Hauptsammler whispers secrets of Stuttgart’s past. This isn’t just a tunnel. It’s a hidden river, the Nesenbach, now flowing underground. Imagine Stuttgart in the 16th century. The Nesenbach flowed openly, vital to the city’s life. But as Stuttgart grew, so did its needs. By the 19th century, the open Nesenbach couldn’t handle the city’s wastewater. So, the city embarked on a massive project. They channeled the Nesenbach underground, creating the Nesenbach-Hauptsammler. This ingenious system now carries not just the original stream, but also the city’s rainwater and sewage. The Nesenbach-Hauptsammler flows towards the Mühlhausen wastewater treatment plant. It journeys beneath the Schlossgarten in a brick-lined vault. The water flows within a concrete channel, flanked by walkways. During dry weather, guided tours venture into this subterranean world. Visitors walk along these walkways, a handrail their only separation from the flowing water. But the Nesenbach-Hauptsammler has a different story to tell during rainfall. Even a moderate shower quickly transforms this tranquil scene. The water level rises dramatically, overflowing the channel and flooding the walkways. This demonstrates the crucial role of the Nesenbach-Hauptsammler in managing Stuttgart’s water. It efficiently carries wastewater away, protecting the city from floods. This hidden waterway, the Nesenbach-Hauptsammler, silently protects and serves Stuttgart, a testament to the city’s ingenuity and resilience.
