On the cultural importance of the stairways (in translation): 'Various city walks, the so-called “Stäffelestouren”, have been offered on the Stäffele since the 1980s . In addition to the classic city tours, these are rather small hikes and are offered both by the city of Stuttgart and by numerous independent city guides. Stäffele in Stuttgart are not only used for locomotion, they are also used by citizens and guests as vantage points and meeting points. Literary and sporting events are becoming increasingly fashionable on the staircases, as are workouts and dating.'(Submitted on October 18, 2022.)

It is spoken in the Stuttgart area. There doesn't seem to be anything on the internet on Vogt that would be more accessible. (Submitted on October 18, 2022.)
