pure chance I had dealt with the city grid of Stuttgart. I expected not much, but the result was something überraschend.Schon for a long time I wondered why the hospital district has a chessboard layout. Therefore, I have first the roads north and west linearly extended, but this came to no reasonable conclusion. Out of curiosity, I took then from the very old and there I found several sheets formations (R1-R5) after I had marked the corresponding mean score (M1-M5), I was surprised because they all appear with slight variations on an axis to lie. This fact inspired me now to find a base rectangle. Since this card is not purely maszstäblich, I could not walk and tried in fair basis of arbitrarily set myself goals (T1a, T1b, T2, T3) to find the rectangle (pink). In fact, I could not find one and then compared this with a Thaleskontruktion, since this is not described by such a, I extended the long side to Thaleskontruktion (black). I have now two basic rectangles available, and do not know what could be the correct one.
for the pink rectangle says the following:
The proximity of the center to the axis of M2-M5
The location of Gate 3
The western edge (King Street)
Speaking against the position of gate 1b, my knowledge, there was the door 1a in fact, it is ultimately still in Prinzenbau available.
speaks for the black rectangle: the location of the door 1a
The location of the gate of the ancient castle in connection with the axis of a
The description by the Thales group.
speaks However, the situation of T3 and of deviating from the center axis of M2-M5.
So I can not say clearly whether it is presumed by me to design a basic rectangle. Striking, however, is the axis a, which is exactly in both cases in the western third and intersects with the northern edge of the black rectangle in the gate of the old castle. This may be hardly be a coincidence.
The subdivision of the black rectangle into twelve squares (the deviations in the East based on the drawing program) reveals that they fall on the Royal Route in each case in the vicinity of a vacant places.
The arc in the city are obvious, especially the Eberhardstrasse (R2) stands out here. The marketplace also appears to be measured (R2 and R3) to be, with the houses in the west of the north side project into something in the square.
In Esslinger suburb so far I could not find any links, is only obvious that the Wilhelm space can be described by a Thales design, though, I suspect it, this does not fully part of the city may have been, a wall would have to cut it in the East. The turquoise lines in the plan are therefore not further pursued approaches.
So I dedicated myself again of the rich suburbs, after a long search I found out that the starting points of the dark blue lines can all connect to a straight line. The light blue lines, I have no explanation. More out of curiosity, I put on the line just found an equilateral triangle, and the result was very surprised, because the triangle is in the east close to P3 of the base rectangle. The South seems to be a point P of prolongation of the axis to be M6-M7. Which in turn parallel to the northern axis the hospital district is located. Overall, this large triangle (dark green) but to make no sense, it does not fit right into the construct.
Whether I with my conjecture, the city of Stuttgart had been professionally calibrated'm right, can not say at present, but so many accidents are unlikely. Why not a plan, however, are the vast distances that had to calibration of the hospital district needed. Total
based my thesis on premises, the template is a copied map of 1855, which was photographed on the digitization without a tripod. It must be contained numerous inaccuracies and distortions in the meter range, but my I that the principle can hardly be infringed. To striking is the position of the axis a on the west side of the old castle and the road was perfectly straight King has always been a mystery to me. I think there are still many inaccuracies in my plans exist, if my theory does hold true remains to be seen well only after a detailed analysis with precise plans.
However I would not be deprived of this discovery to the public. is
