Wine at the late harvest market in the wine and gourmet street
The district has something to offer
Brand new this year, the wine route is being expanded to include a number of culinary specialties and will become a wine and gourmet route for you.
The district's unofficial landmark is its beautiful steep slopes with magnificent views of the hilly green countryside. After all, the district can be proud of its more than 2,100 hectares of vineyards, which make up around 19 percent of the entire Swabian region. Almost 200 winegrowing businesses and 11 winegrowers' cooperatives in the district of Ludwigsburg produce wines - often on steep slopes using centuries-old special techniques - whose quality is repeatedly awarded prizes.
Some good wines can be tasted at the Spätlingsmarkt. The finest wines are waiting to be tasted in our wine and gourmet street, where the district councillors usually decide the fate of the district. Here you can make contact with the winegrowers personally or with experienced employees and choose the right wine. Happy are those who have a dry Lemberger or Merlot on the table with their roast onions or a sparkling Chardonnay with their smoked brown trout?
Wine and sparkling wine specialties are available from Domäne Monrepos - Weingut Herzog von Württemberg, from the young winegrower WeinGut Schütz from Höpfigheim, whose Bastia Negra is a must-try, and from Felsengartenkellerei, with its wonderful steep slope wines.
You can start your culinary journey through the Genussstraße at the Hirsch Besigheim restaurant stand directly in front of the main entrance. The finest Swabian specialties such as tripe or sour kidneys await you there for direct consumption or to take home in a glass.
Our new stand operators from Bergamo in the wine and gourmet street on level 4 directly in front of the conference rooms:
Francesco, Marta and Pedro bring delicious Italian mountain cheese
- Branzi fresco FTB
- Branzi stagionato FTB
- Formai de Mut DOP Alpeggio 2025

New stand operators in the wine and gourmet street from Swabia: Uli and Corinna Maute will spoil you with truffle spaghetti from the Parmesan cheese loaf. Truffles are not enough: chocolate truffles can also be eaten here and taken away.
Climate-friendly local transportation
Bicycle stands during the Spätlingsmarkt
In cooperation with the Association of Bicycle and Pedestrian Friendly Communities (AGFK), the district is providing 120 additional bicycle parking spaces in Eugenstraße for visitors to the Spätlingsmarkt who come by bicycle.
So it's best to come by bike, as this not only saves greenhouse gases, but also improves the parking situation for cars.
The bicycle parking spaces are very well received.
3 Climate-friendly rickshaws
On Wednesday, November 5, Thursday, November 6 and Friday, November 7, 2025, our tried-and-tested shuttle service will once again be happy to transport you from Ludwigsburg train station to the District Office at the Spätlingsmarkt or vice versa. The transportation is free of charge and also great fun for kids. The bus stop is located at the ZOB, directly opposite Ludwigsburg train station and at the district administration office in Eugenstraße.

The quartet from Ludwigsburg interprets songs by Hank Williams, Dillards, Old Crow Medicine Show and the bluegrass songbook, among others. In addition to songs sung by several voices, the program also includes instrumental numbers that are around 100 years old, just like the Celtic brewing recipes.
Rustic coziness, dim light, listening to stories, enjoying time, smiling faces, foaming beer and delicious snacks from HUOBER. This is pure Irish pub feeling in the middle of the Ludwigburg District Office, in the new building, Hindenburgstraße 30, in the atrium.
After the rehearsal, there will be an opportunity to round off the evening with beer and live music with the band.
Fawn rescue in the Ludwigsburg district - lecture by the district hunters' association
on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, 2 p.m. in the Great Hall with Benjamin Petri and Antje Stockbrink
From April to July, the doe prefers to lay her fawns in tall grass. Well camouflaged, odorless and with a pronounced instinct to push, they are almost invisible there, perfectly protected from their predators. The meadow mowing season begins at almost the same time. Every year, thousands of fawns, young hares and ground nesting birds fall victim to the modern and powerful mowers. A burden for farmers, hunters and the game population.
Conventional wildlife protection measures are of little help and are time-consuming and labor-intensive. The Ludwigsburg Hunters' Association - through its hunting rings - offers voluntary fawn rescue using thermal imaging drones before mowing in the meadows and fields of the Ludwigsburg district.
When the drone systematically flies over meadows, infrared images are transmitted to the fawn rescuers. Due to their body temperature, the fawns are only clearly visible in the early, cooler morning hours. They are carried out of the field by the fawn rescue team, marked and placed in a box in the shade at the edge of the field. After mowing, they are released there again.
In 2025, a total of 6 drone teams using 7 drones and over 60 volunteers (hunters and non-hunters) searched over 1,000 fields and an area of around 1,500 hectares on an average of 20 days, saving 256 fawns as well as some brown hares and ground-nesting birds from certain death by mowing.
Such missions are only possible thanks to smooth cooperation between farmers, hunting tenants and drone teams.
Benjamin Petri and Antje Stockbrink from Jägervereinigung Ludwigsburg e.V. will present the process, equipment, challenges and successes of fawn rescue using thermal imaging cameras on November 5, 2025, at 2 p.m. in the Great Hall.
Sausage quality test of the Böblingen-Ludwigsburg butchers' guild
Thursday, 6.11.2025, 4 p.m. in the Great Hall in the Kreishaus
65 owner-managed butcher's stores and their branches are part of the merged Böblingen-Ludwigsburg butchers' guild. They guarantee a comprehensive and high-quality supply of fresh meat and sausage products in both districts.
The quality of the wide range of products starts with the regional farmers. Species-appropriate husbandry and feeding of the animals as well as short transportation routes are important to us. In this way, taste, meat quality and freshness can be determined. The merger of the independent butchers' guilds of Böblingen and Ludwigsburg has strengthened our position on the market. With 65 owner-managed businesses and their local branches, our butchers bear economic, social and ecological responsibility and shape the market.
The Ludwigsburg district's sausage quality inspection will take place on Thursday, November 6, 2025, from 4 p.m. in the large meeting room in the district hall.
Let our experienced master butchers inform you about the product range, quality and production.
