Where does STUTTGART GERMAN MASTERS take place?
The 40th STUTTGART GERMAN MASTERS takes place at the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle in Stuttgart, one of the largest indoor arenas in Baden-Württemberg. The hall sits in the Neckarpark complex north of Stuttgart's city centre, giving the November tournament a fully indoor setting whatever the weather. Stuttgart is the state capital of Baden-Württemberg, set in a basin surrounded by vineyards, with strong transport links and a wide range of hotels near the Neckarpark. The city centre, with its restaurants and cultural venues, is straightforward to reach from the venue.

The Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle is easiest to reach by U-Bahn (U5 or U6) to the stop "Heslach Vogelrain", then a roughly 10-minute walk to the venue. Bus lines 42, 43, and 92 also serve that stop.

Spectators at the STUTTGART GERMAN MASTERS attend ticketed day and evening sessions featuring World Cup competitions in a close, arena-style setting, several sessions in the previous edition sold out. The stands in the Hanns-Martin-Schleyer-Halle put you close to the action: both the show jumping course and the dressage arena are clearly visible from all levels. A supporting programme accompanies each session and gives first-time visitors clear context for what they're watching. Good to know
- Dogs are not permitted
- Popular evening sessions fill early, arriving well before start time is advisable
- Some outdoor areas around the venue are uncovered, so a warm jacket is useful even for an indoor event
