Stuttgart

DLR site Stuttgart

DLR Stuttgart is full of energy – its research areas include storage and converter technologies for a reliable supply of renewable energies, novel vehicle concepts, innovative laser systems, high-tech materials and structures as well as sustainable propulsion systems for climate-neutral aviation and efficient and safe spaceflight.

Generating, storing and using energy is the focus of research at the DLR site in Stuttgart.

DLR Stuttgart is doing pioneering work towards the safe and controllable supply of renewable energy. These include technologies for large-scale energy storage and converters, solar thermal power plants and for the hydrogen economy and the coupling of energy sectors.

For future mobility, DLR Stuttgart is researching sustainable, economical and user-oriented vehicle concepts for road and rail travel, as well as climate-neutral fuels for aviation.

Researchers here are developing technologies for efficient and safe aerospace, with high-tech materials for energy-efficient lightweight structures, engines and the re-entry of spacecraft. To ensure safety in space, researchers at the DLR site in Stuttgart are working on special laser systems for space debris monitoring and removal.

DLR Stuttgart offers young scientists excellent training opportunities for aspiring electronics technicians for devices and systems, precision mechanics and office management, along with dual study programmes in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering and information technology, mechatronics and facility management.

Systemhaus Technik is also present at the DLR site in Stuttgart. This organisational unit specialises in building scientific equipment and focuses on the development and manufacture of complex one-off products.
