Laundromat near Bietigheim-Bissingen

From Bietigheim-Bissingen station the S5 runs every 15 minutes and reaches Ludwigsburg in 9 minutes, via Tamm and Asperg. The regional trains MEX 12, MEX 17, MEX 18 and the RE 8 are even quicker at just 6 to 7 minutes. Together, three to four trains an hour run during the day.

1. In Bietigheim-Bissingen, board the S5 towards Stuttgart or an MEX/RE towards Stuttgart.
2. Get off in Ludwigsburg.

Door to door, the VVS journey planner gives 18 to 22 minutes, depending on where you start in Bietigheim-Bissingen. If you already commute to Stuttgart by S5 or MEX, you can do your laundry in Ludwigsburg on the way home.

The S5 and the regional trains all arrive at the same station in Ludwigsburg, so the walk to the laundromat is identical whichever train you catch. Carrying a heavy laundry bag? From the ZOB a short bus hop to the Karlsplatz stop leaves you only about 3 minutes on foot.

From Marktplatz in Bietigheim it is about 10 km via the B 27, roughly 16 minutes without traffic. From Bietigheim-Bissingen station it is a little over 8 km and about 12 minutes. You can park close to the laundromat:

• Stuttgarter Straße, right outside, paid parking
• Arbeitsamt car park, about 50 m, paid parking
• Karlsplatz car park, about 140 m, paid parking

With duvets or a big laundry bag, it is best to park right outside on Stuttgarter Straße.

To get your bearings: the Laundromat Ludwigsburg sits in the town centre right next to the Friedenskirche on Karlsplatz, opposite the Residential Palace (Residenzschloss). Even if you only know Ludwigsburg from driving through on the way from Bietigheim, you will find the address without a long search.

The trip from Bietigheim, Bissingen, Buch or Metterzimmern pays off above all for big loads: duvets, mattress toppers, curtains or the laundry after a move. In Ludwigsburg there are three XXL machines with 18 kg and four dryers with 20 kg ready for that. With 11 more machines of 8 kg on top, you wash everything at once instead of one load after another and are done in a little over an hour.

Looking for a laundry in Bietigheim? Here you get the self-service laundry principle: you wash your things yourself in professional machines, pay only for the cycle you use and take everything home clean and dry the very same day. No drop-off, no collection slip, no waiting until the next working day.

• Open Monday to Saturday, 6 am to 10 pm, no appointment
• Wash 8 kg €5.00, XXL 18 kg €13.50, drying €1.50 per 10 minutes
• Pay with cash, all major credit and debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay or the discount card with up to 25 % bonus
• While the machines run, Ludwigsburg town centre is within walking distance

Anyone whose laundry is too big, too much or too urgent for the machine at home. By S5 or MEX, the ride from Bietigheim-Bissingen is shorter than a single wash cycle of around 35 minutes.

• Holiday rental hosts: several sets of bed linen and towels run side by side in the 8 kg machines. The discount card also works as a team card, so you can send helpers without handing them cash. More in the guide Holiday rental laundry in Ludwigsburg.
• Athletes and sports clubs: shirts, tracksuits and functional wear after match day, all washed at once instead of in three rounds. Temperature tips are in the guide Washing sportswear.
• Small businesses: towels or table linen go into the big drums, and every payment comes with a receipt for your bookkeeping.

To keep things clean for everyone, shoes and work clothes soiled with oil or petrol stay out of the machines. Shoes damage both the drum and the shoe, and oil or petrol residue stays behind in the machine for the next customer.

Going by train, allow a good hour and a half to just under two hours in total: 18 to 22 minutes each way, with roughly an hour of washing and drying in between. This is how it goes:

1. Pre-sort at home: separate lights from darks and pack duvets straight away for the XXL machine. How much fits into one drum is explained in How much laundry fits in 8 kg?
2. Take the S5 or MEX to Ludwigsburg, then walk to Stuttgarter Straße 54.
3. Pay at the payment terminal, then press the start button on the machine. Detergent is available there for €0.70 and fabric softener for €0.40, but you are just as welcome to bring your own.
4. You do not need to stay during the roughly 35 minutes: grab a coffee in town or take a look at the palace across the road. Just be back as soon as the machine has finished.
5. Move everything into the dryer, usually 20 to 40 minutes, then head back to Bietigheim on the S5 or MEX.

The Laundromat Ludwigsburg is closed on Sundays and public holidays. If you commute during the week, simply make Saturday your laundry day: the doors are open from 6 am to 10 pm then too.
