Hi
Stuttgart can be pretty cold in November (chance of snow). Business attire is pretty conservative, jeans/T-shirt usually make the wrong impression (depends on the business you're in)
In restaurants and pubs/bars I usually tip around 10%, if the service is bad nothing. In hotels, if I check-in/sleep/check-out nothing.
German food can be very good, but it's difficult to find places that serve it, if you want to stay on the safe side eat Italian.
Hope that helps
P.S. Punctuality is considered very important!
P.P.S. Smoking is more widespread and accepted than in the states. People will happily smoke whilst you are eating in a restaurant!!
