Steampunk Advent Zuffenhausen

Steampunk in Historic Half-Timbered Architecture

Steampunk combines Victorian design, steam engine aesthetics, goggles, corsets, copper pipes, and retro-futuristic inventions into a distinct subgenre. With the Steampunk Advent in the Zehntscheuer Zuffenhausen, Stuttgart's scene finds a fitting venue: a historic half-timbered building from the late Middle Ages with romantic medieval beams, perfectly matching the aesthetic world of Steampunk.

Zehntscheuer Zuffenhausen

The Zehntscheuer at Zehnthof 1 is a landmark of Zuffenhausen, one of Stuttgart's northernmost districts. Originally, the building served as a collection point for the tithe, the in-kind tax paid to the church and nobility. Today, the Zehntscheuer is a municipal venue with a covered interior and a heated stage – ideal for a winter event.

Steampunk Advent — What to Expect

The program follows the successful premiere in 2025: live music with Steampunk bands and fitting genre acts, a curated bar with cocktails and winter drinks, a fashion show with elaborately designed outfits, a small exhibition of maker and cosplay pieces, as well as dancing and socializing late into the evening. Those who wish can come in full Steampunk attire – goggles, top hats, corsets, leather vests, brass accessories.

Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen in Advent Light

In the district of Stuttgart, Baden-Württemberg, Zuffenhausen is located in the north and is internationally known primarily as the home of Porsche. In December, the district offers, in addition to the Steampunk Advent, classic Christmas markets and festive lights – a combination of district tradition and subcultural Advent event.
