The low-emission zone of Ludwigsburg is indicated with orange on the map above. This is the zone which you can only enter if your vehicle has a German emissions sticker.

Exceptions
There is one exception within the low-emission zone of Ludwigsburg and that is the A81. If you leave and enter the zone on this highway, an emissions sticker is not required. On the map the A81 is indicated with a blue line. If you drive south on the A81, you will enter the low-emission zone of Leonberg/Hemmingen, where the sticker also is not required as long as you stay on the highway.
Parking outside the low-emission zone
Because the low-emission zone of Ludwigsburg is one of the largest in Germany, parking outside it and then continuing your way by public transport is not very practical. What you could do is park in Benningen (A on the map). From here you can take the S-Bahn to Freiberg, Ludwigsburg, Aspberg, Tamm and Bietigheim-Bissingen. Unless you have a very old vehicle that is not eligible, it is easier and cheaper to just buy the emissions sticker.
