Laundromat near Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen

The S4 and S5 stop at Zuffenhausen station towards Ludwigsburg, each line every 15 minutes. Because they run offset, a train comes about every 7 to 8 minutes during the day. After Kornwestheim the next stop is already Ludwigsburg, and the ride takes 6 minutes.

1. In Zuffenhausen, board the S4 or S5 towards Ludwigsburg.
2. Get off in Ludwigsburg.
3. Walk about 600 m, roughly 9 minutes (around 12 from the platform), or take bus 421 or 533 from the ZOB (bus station) to Karlsplatz.

According to the VVS journey planner, you reach the washing machines in 18 to 19 minutes from Zuffenhausen station, on Saturdays too.

Since the S4 and S5 alternate, there is no departure time to remember. Just hop on the next train towards Ludwigsburg, whichever of the two lines turns up first.

From the centre of Zuffenhausen, take Ludwigsburger Straße to the B 27 and then straight north to Stuttgarter Straße. That is a little over 8 km, about 11 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

The B 27 leads you into Ludwigsburg town centre without a single turn. Use the Friedenskirche on Karlsplatz as your landmark: the laundromat is right beside it, opposite the Residential Palace (Residenzschloss).

The laundromat Ludwigsburg is a do-it-yourself laundry with 11 washing machines of 8 kg, 3 XXL machines with 18 kg and 4 dryers with 20 kg.

1. Pack your laundry in a bag you can comfortably carry on the S-Bahn. More than one 8 kg load per person gets heavy on the walk.
2. S4 or S5 to Ludwigsburg, then on foot or by bus to Karlsplatz, from where it is about 3 minutes.
3. At the payment terminal, pay in cash, with all major credit and debit cards or contactless, then press the start button.

5. Dry, fold, and catch the next S-Bahn back to Zuffenhausen.
