A district in Stuttgart, Germany, historically known for its mineral springs and spa facilities.
German place name from Old High German 'can' (to be able) and 'statt' (place/stead), literally 'capable place.' The name likely referred to a strategically advantageous settlement location.
Cannstatt became famous as a spa town in the 1800s—mineral water tourism was the ancient equivalent of modern health crazes, with wealthy Europeans traveling for weeks to 'take the waters' they believed would cure them.
