Field and clock profile
Stuttgart Airport is a low-elevation field at 1,276 ft (389 m), positioned at 48.6899° N, 9.2220° E in the Northern mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 3 runways and a longest runway of 10,974 ft / 3,345 m. The airport clock uses Europe/Berlin (CEST, UTC+02:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.

Filderstadt is the closest retained city-time anchor at 3.7 km. FKB Rheinmünster is the closest retained airport alternative at 84 km.
Country airport peers
STR is compared with FKB Rheinmünster at 84 km, FMM Memmingen at 108 km, FRA Frankfurt am Main at 156 km, MUC Munich at 192 km, HHN Frankfurt am Main (Lautzenhausen) at 199 km inside the retained Germany airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.

- It is christened in honor of Stuttgart's former mayor, Manfred Rommel, son of Erwin Rommel, and is the sixth busiest airport in Germany with 11,832,634 passengers having passed through its doors in 2018.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at flughafen-stuttgart.de, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
Decision matrix for STR
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
When the clock matters
STR uses Europe/Berlin (CEST, UTC+02:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Stuttgart Airport is about 11 km from central Stuttgart; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
FKB Rheinmünster is the closest retained alternate at 84 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
flughafen-stuttgart.de is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
How this airport compares nearby
These comparisons place STR inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
Country-rank position
STR ranks #15 in the curated Germany airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 15 airports.
Same-zone airport cohort
STR shares Europe/Berlin with BER Berlin DE · CGN Köln (Cologne) DE · DRS Dresden DE · DTM Dortmund DE · DUS Düsseldorf DE · FKB Rheinmünster DE. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
Elevation-neighbor cohort
STR is 1,276 ft (389 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include ALP 1,276 ft (389 m) (0 ft delta) · MTY 1,278 ft (390 m) (2 ft delta) · KRT 1,265 ft (386 m) (11 ft delta) · OKC 1,295 ft (395 m) (19 ft delta) · BKO 1,247 ft (380 m) (29 ft delta).
Coordinate-neighbor check
STR's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are FKB 84 km +0h · FMM 108 km +0h · SXB 118 km +0h · ZRH 146 km +0h.

Ground Transport and Nearby Context
Central Stuttgart is close enough that taxi, ride-hail, and rail or shuttle links are usually the fastest arrival options.
Stuttgart is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Stuttgart Airport has 5 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Nearby city time anchors
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from STR, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
