International productions
Filming in Stuttgart as an international production
Stuttgart generally requires a permit for public traffic areas. Plan private locations on SetScout and public-space permits with the city.
Permits for international crews
International crews apply through the same office as German productions: the City of Stuttgart's Office of Public Order. The Film Commission Region Stuttgart provides application forms and tips.
Lead times
The City of Stuttgart asks for applications at least two weeks before the shoot, together with a site sketch marking the locations.
Federal incentives: DFFF and GMPF
German Federal Film Fund (DFFF)
The DFFF supports feature films that are wholly or partly realised in Germany. DFFF I is for producers of national and international (co-)productions, DFFF II for production service providers. Since 2025 the grant is a uniform 30 per cent of the approved German production costs.
German Motion Picture Fund (GMPF)
The GMPF supports high-end series and films that are not intended for theatrical release, with up to 30 per cent of eligible German production costs. Applicants need a registered office or branch in Germany and a film or series produced in the last seven years.
Apply before you book
Both funds are administered by the German Federal Film Board (FFA). There are no fixed deadlines, but applications must arrive at least six weeks before principal photography starts, which is earlier than any city permit. Check the current funding volume with the FFA before you plan with it.

Film locations in Stuttgart
Filming locations in Stuttgart for film, commercials and photo
Stuttgart sits in a valley basin: hillside villas with views, the Stäffele staircases, vineyards inside the city and industrial and commercial spaces along the Neckar.
Compare Stuttgart locations by motif, floor area and access, and clear availability and terms directly with the host.
Typical looks in Stuttgart
The topography shapes the visual language: much of what looks good in Stuttgart sits on a slope.
Hillside villas
Villas and houses with terraces and views over the basin for premium, family and architecture motifs. Narrow hillside streets make access and parking the first question.
Modernist and post-war architecture
From the Weissenhof Estate to post-war modernist buildings: clean lines for design, fashion and architecture shoots. For listed buildings, clarify interior and exterior shots separately.
Industry and commerce along the Neckar
Halls, workshops and commercial spaces, for example in Bad Cannstatt, Feuerbach or Wangen, for car, product and commercial shoots with good load-in.
City centre, Stäffele and vineyards
Staircase paths, period quarters in the West and South and vineyards inside the city for scenes that should look unmistakably like Stuttgart.
Practical notes for shooting in Stuttgart
Slopes, narrow streets and dense traffic in the basin make logistics the main task.
Access on slopes
Check street width, gradient and turning space for equipment vehicles before you commit to a hillside motif.
Parking and no-parking zones
If you need closures or no-parking zones, the Office of Public Order involves other agencies such as the police. Submit your application early.
Parks, green spaces and cemeteries
Stuttgart has a separate photo and filming permit for public green spaces and cemeteries. Clarify it separately from the permit for traffic areas.
Filming permits in Stuttgart
Filming on public traffic areas such as pavements, streets and squares generally requires a permit in Stuttgart. For private interiors, the host's consent is enough.
Who is responsible
The responsible office is the City of Stuttgart's Office of Public Order, traffic regulation and management. Application forms and tips are provided by the Film Commission Region Stuttgart.
Lead time
Submit the application at least two weeks before the shoot and include a site sketch marking the locations.
