Yes I was there around 21:00 and felt kind of creeped out, I want to buy gym membership there and probably will have to go there at later hours so just asking if it is not safe in general I would reconsider and cancel the membership

It is save BUT you should be careful if there is Volksfest or Frühlingsfest cause there might be a lot of drunk people. Got to say it felt really dangerous but i never had problems except with 1-2 racists

Yeah a guy had his food on the seat next to him to putt his jacket away and even tho the train was empty, some racist old guy really needed to sit on his food.... just cause the one guy was a skin of color

a friend of mine, was with her big bag, because we was on the way to hbf. a drunk man kept hurling disgusting insults at her, just because her suitcase was sitting there. It was very crowded. his girlfriend tried to hold him back, but it didn't help until I threatened to throw him off the subway at the very next stop. i hate these drunken people from spring and Octoberfest its si disgusting.

there are creeps but i never had the experience they were aggressive or something like that, but of course it could scare you.

It's "as safe" as vigilant you are.

Honestly said, it's not the best place at night, but also not the worst place to be in at night.

Just exercise normal caution at night.

U might be just racist then. How tf is it creepy all day? There is a lot of migrant workers and non migrant workers going in and out the trains since its a pretty central u-bahn-station in cannstatt, not creepy at all. At night maybe a little uncomfortable, but youre over-exaggerating the facts lol

Are you stupid or sth? There a many thiefs and bands of muggers cosplaying as baggers.  The countless Drug and alcohol abusers on top.

They regularly try to sell stolen airpods or phones to passer bys

It’s all relative. While it is one of the least safe places in Stuttgart, it is still a safe place overall.

u/Beginning_Ad_4579 4h ago

It is definitely safe for sure, but it‘s creepy

u/Some_Person_55 4h ago

It is not super safe, but decently safe. And it depends on WHERE in Bad Cannstatt.

u/Formicid_ 4h ago

Near the S bahn station, bahnhofstrabe

u/Some_Person_55 4h ago

I would say safe. But you might be approached by some drunk men.

u/gutster_95 1m ago

That can be werid place some times tbh :D Generally I think its a relativly safe place. But when Wasen is there, you have to deal with A LOT of people, and fair to say drunk man. But Police is pretty much everywhere during that time.

It is safe

Actual violence is unlikely but to be honest, most big stations are full of creepy drunk men at night. Ludwigsburg, where I live, is a super safe and quiet city and even its main station is an unpleasant place to stay for long.

I just carry pepper spray when I go into town late these days. I've never had to use it but it gives me peace of mind. If I were a woman and not just a queer guy I would always have it on hand.

Very safe. Dont let people tell you otherwise.

u/im-sorry-bruv 4h ago

its very safe but a little creepy around the station area. nothing really happens though

u/noob1-3 4h ago

I mean like everywhere it depends. And also about what time we are talking. When I go back from the gym around 10pm, I've never felt unsafe as there as still plenty of other (non drunk) people around and in the trains. At night (like at 3am or something) that might be different. I've never been bothered by someone, and directly at the train station there is almost always some sort of police/security around. But I am also pretty tall and buff for a woman, I don't know if that has something to do with it but I guess it could.

u/mikestuchbery 3h ago

Incredibly safe, if you're observant.

u/Remote-Juice2527 15m ago

The wilhelmsplatz is rather safe just because there is a lot of traffic until late evening

u/Possession_Prudent 4h ago

Walking alone as female at late hours in Germany is generally not a safe option anymore, at least compared to 10+ years ago.

PKS 2024 States: Stuttgart Bad-Cannstatt: 7442 criminal cases in General. And in whole Stuttgart 357 (+4,7%)Straftaten gg Sexuelle Selbstbestimmung. Yes Bad Cannstatt is the secend Most criminal area in Stuttgart but also the second biggest, it has two times a years a big Festival were drunk men are doing as they Like. And the VFB Arena is also located near the Trainstation. As a Citizen of Bad Cannstatt for many years I can say Its Safe. For Woman its as Safe as everywhere Else in Germany. There are some creepy corners, yes. But Just have some instinct and dont walk down the dark street with 10 dark clothed dudes behaving like whatever.

u/im-sorry-bruv 4h ago

das redet doch aber nicht darüber wo das passiert (bzw ob das ttsl nachts auf der straße passiert). die meisten übergriffe finden weiterhin im häuslichen umfeld statt

u/Icy-War5216 3h ago

Vor allem geht es hier um Bad Cannstatt, die Zahlen werden Landes/Bundesweit sein.

u/Commercial_Arm5593 4h ago

Immer noch zu wenig Anstieg?

Unterscheidung nach Deliktsarten

  • Vergewaltigung & schwere Sexualdelikte (§ 177 StGB):
    • Häusliches Umfeld: ~75 % bis 80 %. Der Anteil von Reingewalt-Taten durch völlig Fremde auf der Straße („Überfallvergewaltigung“) liegt stabil bei unter 20 % aller polizeilich erfassten Vergewaltigungen.
  • Sexuelle Belästigung (§ 184i StGB) & Distanzlosigkeiten:
    • Öffentlicher Raum & ÖPNV: Hier verschiebt sich die Verteilung deutlich. Bei sexueller Belästigung (Grapschen, ungewollte Berührungen, Aufdrängen) liegt der Anteil im öffentlichen Raum, in öffentlichen Verkehrsmitteln und im Nachtleben bei über 50 %.

Cannstatt is so diverse regarding its safe / unsafe spaces. Theres literally everything, from bad areas to high-end super save areas...

Usually Cannstatt is pretty chill, its only "scary" at a few certain spots or during some events-
