The Stuttgarter Volksfest is called Wasen because it takes place on the Cannstatter Wasen, a large meadow in the Stuttgart city district of Bad Cannstatt. The word "Wasen" is a Swabian word meaning "grassy meadow" or "alluvial land".

The Cannstatter Wasen has been used as a site for festivals and gatherings for centuries. In the early 19th century, King Wilhelm I of Württemberg decided to establish a regular agricultural festival on the Wasen, with the aim of promoting the kingdom's agriculture and economy. The first Cannstatter Volksfest was held in 1818, and it has been held annually ever since, except during wartime.

Over the years, the Cannstatter Volksfest has evolved from an agricultural festival into a major folk festival, attracting visitors from all over the world. The festival is known for its large beer tents, amusement rides, and traditional German food and drink.

The Cannstatter Wasen is also a popular destination for locals, who come to enjoy the festive atmosphere and socialize with friends and family. The festival is a beloved tradition in Stuttgart, and the name "Wasen" has become synonymous with the Cannstatter Volksfest.
