On Tuesday, 29 May 2012, the Conference
Reception will take place at the inner courtyard of the Old Palace of
Stuttgart.
The Old Palace is located in the city center of Stuttgart and dates back
to the 10
th century. It started out as a small castle for
protecting and breeding horses from which "Stutengarten", the original
name of Stuttgart was later derived. In the 14
th century it
became the residence of the sovereign Counts of Württemberg and was
converted to a Renaissance Palace in the 16
th century with a
beautiful inner courtyard housing the monument of count Eberhard I.
