Program on June 19, 2024
The second match of UEFA EURO 2024 will take place here in Stuttgart on June 19, 2024: The German national team led by national coach Julian Nagelsmann will play Hungary in its second match in our Stuttgart Arena. Kick-off is at 6 p.m. The german team is already on its way to the round of sixteen after its opening win against Scotland - which is why this match will attract particular attention: with a sold-out stadium, full public viewing and lots of fans on the streets before and after the game.
The authorities in Stuttgart have made preparations to maintain mobility as best they can. One thing is clear: fans, commuters and citizens will face a test of patience this wednesday.
Mercedesstrasse will be fully closed early in the morning (from around 8 a.m.). This means that it will no longer be possible to travel to and from Bad Cannstatt via Mercedesstraße, Benzstraße, Daimlerstraße and Alte Untertürkheimer Straße. This will affect all traffic on the main roads to and from Bad Cannstatt. The city will have detours signposted, but we advise you to drive well around the NeckarPark area.
The high volume of visitors will also lead to planned and certainly also spontaneous closures in the city center and neighboring districts between 1 and 6 pm. Two main traffic arteries, federal highways (Bundesstraße) 14 and 27, will be particularly affected.
In the early afternoon, the B14 Cannstatter Straße will be closed in both directions, Wolframstraße in the direction of the B14, Uferstraße in the direction of the city center, Neckartalstraße in the direction of the city center and König-Karl-Brücke in the direction of Bad Cannstatt. In addition, the B27 Friedrichstraße in the direction of Rotebühlplatz, Heilbronner Straße out of town to Türlenstraße and Schillerstraße in the direction of Arnulf-Klett-Platz will be closed.
We therefore strongly recommend that you avoid driving on wednesday and use buses, trains and bicycles instead.
