STEP Stuttgarter Engineering Park is a nine-building technology campus in Stuttgart-Vaihingen — wholly owned by L-Bank — offering companies the planning security and infrastructure to grow from startup to enterprise without changing address. The campus runs across flexible, scalable floorplates that combine glass-and-steel architecture with modern, functional design, and connects directly via fiber optic to the University of Stuttgart and the Baden-Württemberg research network (Belwue), giving tenants academic-grade connectivity few private parks can match. A full-service environment means daily cleaning, a staffed reception, conference and meeting rooms, high-speed Wi-Fi, and postal services sit alongside genuinely rare on-site amenities: a certified daycare (Kita Steppkes), a hairdresser, and a bank branch. Neighbors include Microsoft, DLR, and Mercedes-Benz Tech Innovation — a roster that reflects the park's standing as Stuttgart's most prestigious engineering and technology address. On-site car parking and lift-served, step-free access across all buildings round out the practical offer.

STEP is situated in Stuttgart-Vaihingen, the city's primary business and technology district in the southwest of Stuttgart. The campus sits directly adjacent to the Kreuz Stuttgart motorway interchange, one of Baden-Württemberg's most significant road junctions, making it straightforward to reach by car from the A8 or A831 — and on-site parking removes the friction that plagues central-city offices. Public transport is served by the Stuttgart U-Bahn at Fauststraße, linking the campus to Stuttgart's wider rail and transit network. The immediate surroundings reflect the district's character: Meitnerstraße, Gropiusplatz, Curiestraße, and Zusestraße form a cluster of streets named after scientists and engineers, placing STEP firmly inside Stuttgart-Vaihingen's established tech corridor. The University of Stuttgart's research infrastructure is not merely nearby — it is physically connected to the campus via a dedicated fiber-optic link to the Belwue Baden-Württemberg research network, making the academic ecosystem a practical daily resource rather than a talking point.
The park is located at Wankelstraße 12, 70563 Stuttgart (Stuttgart-Vaihingen district), near the Kreuz Stuttgart motorway interchange. A site map (Lageplan) is available for download on the website to help navigate the multiple buildings (STEP 1–9) on the campus. Each building has its own entrance; visitors should confirm the specific building number with their contact before arriving. Car parking is available on the campus.
STEP Stuttgarter Engineering Park is 100% owned by L-Bank, the state development bank of Baden-Württemberg. This public ownership model guarantees long-term operational stability and planning security — tenants can sign longer lease commitments without the risk of a private sale or change in park strategy.
Review summary
Reviewers of STEP Stuttgarter Engineering Park raise consistent concerns about on-site dining: the absence of a canteen is frequently noted, and the on-site bistro is seen as a costly and insufficient substitute, with food trucks available only a few days a week at elevated prices. Parking and accessibility also draw criticism, with too few underground spaces and not all areas being barrier-free. Public transport connections are regarded as a genuine strength. The location in a business park receives mixed views — functional for work, but unappealing after hours.

In der näheren Umgebung gibt es keine Möglichkeiten zum Mittagessen. Die beiden Foodtrucks, die Dienstag bis Donnerstag da sind, sind nicht gerade günstig und auch nicht abwechslungsreich.

Reine Zweckbauten. Keine Gegend, wo man sich nach der Arbeit aufhalten will. Gut ist die Verkehrsanbindung. Für Ortsunkundige könnte man mehr bzgl der Orientierung bei den Gebäuden tun.
