Le mot allemend "Solitude" signifie également solitude en français. Cette place est situé en dehors de la ville. A l'origine projeté comme un siège de chasse tranquille, le fonction du bâtiment bifurqua vers un projet ambitieux d'école servant d'exemple de lutte pour le Duc. De là vous pourrez apprécier une superbe vue de la rue adjacente qui mène directement à l'ancienne résidence Schloß Ludwigsburg. Juste quelques parties survécurent de ce qui fut un palais impressionnant. Cependant le palace mérite toujours d'être visité lors d'un passage à Stuttgart. C'est une endroit populaire, pas simplement à cause de la vue, mais également pour ses concert et expositions lors desquels vous ne serez jamais piétiné par la foule. Des concerts ont également lieux dans le hall principale du palace. Le restaurant et la chapelle sont des lieux très célèbres pour les mariages. Le palace a été construit en 3 phases, démarrant en 1764. Récemment la "Carlsschule" (école) a été construit, et fut ensuite déménagée vers le centre de la ville. L'école doit sa célébrité au célèbre ancien élève Friedrich Schiller.
