Field notes

Baden-Württemberg state capital — the heart of Germany's auto-and-engineering economy (Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Bosch all anchor here). Stuttgart-West, Bohnenviertel, and the modern Königstraße shopping axis are the typical nomad neighborhoods. Same German visa story as Berlin/Munich. The structural draws are auto-and-engineering economic density, Black Forest weekend access, and Swabian wine-and-spätzle culture.
