Laundromat near Kornwestheim

Between Kornwestheim and Ludwigsburg there is just a single S-Bahn ride of 3 minutes. The S4 and S5 both stop at Kornwestheim station, and together a train towards Ludwigsburg leaves about every 7 to 8 minutes during the day. So there is no need to check the timetable, you simply set off.

1. At Kornwestheim station, board the S4 or S5 towards Ludwigsburg.
2. Get off in Ludwigsburg after one stop.
3. From the station it is roughly 600 m on foot, about 9 minutes, to Stuttgarter Straße 54.

According to the VVS journey planner, the trip from Kornwestheim station takes 15 to 16 minutes door to door.

By bus 413

Bus 413 runs every 20 minutes from Kornwestheim station to the ZOB (bus station) in Ludwigsburg and takes 14 minutes. It does not stop on Stuttgarter Straße, so from the ZOB it is another 11 minutes on foot. The S-Bahn is quicker.

Handy if you live in central Kornwestheim and can walk to the station anyway: then the S-Bahn usually beats the car, and you save yourself the parking fee in Ludwigsburg town centre.

From the Kornwestheim town hall it is only 4.9 km north via the B 27, about 7 minutes without traffic. Where to park:

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

Simply follow the B 27 into the centre of Ludwigsburg. The laundromat stands right beside the Friedenskirche, facing the Residential Palace (Residenzschloss). If you are bringing heavy baskets, the easiest option is to stop briefly outside the door and unload.

Because the trip is so short, the laundromat is worth it from Kornwestheim not only for duvets but also for your ordinary weekly laundry, for example when your own machine has broken down or your flat has no washing machine connection. Eleven 8 kg machines run at the same time, and four dryers with 20 kg take care of the drying. A wash cycle lasts about 35 minutes, and the dryer usually needs another 20 to 40.

• Monday to Saturday 6 am to 10 pm, no appointment, no sign-up
• Wash 8 kg €5.00, XXL 18 kg €13.50, drying €1.50 per 10 minutes
• With the discount card up to 25 % bonus, valid at all 7 Wash&Go laundromats

The same goes for the XXL washing machine: a duvet from Kornwestheim fits into one large bag, and three minutes on the S-Bahn pass quickly even with bulky luggage. More on this under Washing duvets.

Tip for commuters: if you take the S4 or S5 to Stuttgart, simply get off one stop later on the way back and collect your laundry before heading home.

With just one S-Bahn stop in between, the Laundromat Ludwigsburg is practically the laundry round the corner for many people in Kornwestheim. It is especially useful in these situations:

• Flat without a washing machine: no connection, no space in the bathroom, or a basement you would rather avoid. How that works in the long run is covered in the guide Flat without a washing machine.
• Broken machine: until the repair technician turns up, you keep washing here and the laundry basket does not pile up.
• Flatshares and students: several people, lots of laundry, little money. With the discount card an 8 kg wash costs from €3.80. More in the guide Laundromat for students.
• After moving house: curtains, blankets and boxes full of textiles in one go, spread across several machines.

If you are searching for a laundry in Kornwestheim, note that this is not a drop-off service but a self-service laundromat: you wash yourself and have your things back the same day.

With around 15 minutes of travel each way, one load including drying is done in about an hour and a half. There is not enough time to go home between washing and drying, but plenty for a detour into Ludwigsburg town centre.

1. Sort your laundry by colour and set the heavy items aside for the 18 kg XXL machine.
2. Take the S4 or S5 for one stop, then walk to Stuttgarter Straße 54.
3. Pay in cash, with all major credit and debit cards, contactless with Apple Pay or Google Pay, or with the discount card. Then press the start button.
4. About 35 minutes to fill: a stroll through the town centre or a lap around the palace grounds. Be back as soon as the machine is done.
5. Drying usually takes 20 to 40 minutes, then it is home by S-Bahn.

Several loads at once? Then just start several machines at the same time. With 11 machines of 8 kg and 3 XXL machines, the total time stays almost the same, only the laundry bag gets heavier.
