About Pollen in Stuttgart

Stuttgart’s spring allergy season (March-May) is dominated by Birch and Hazel pollen; Birch (Betula) prolific in Rosensteinpark and on the Killesberg; Hazel (Corylus) and Alder (Alnus) widespread on surrounding valley slopes. Ash (Fraxinus) contributes significantly to early season counts near city parks. Summer (May-July) sees high Grass (Poaceae) levels, originating from Neckar riverbanks and Schlossgarten meadows.

The city’s basin topography traps pollen; the encircling hills limit air circulation and ventilation. Autumn and winter see elevated Mould (Alternaria, Cladosporium) spore counts, from decomposing leaf litter in the Stadtwald forests and damp hillside vineyards.
