Rosamunde Pilcher a British writer not that well known in her own country wrote numerous novels, some set in Cornwall. German tv filmed them using locations in Cornwall and they became phenomenally popular in Germany leading to what is almost a cult that attracts German visitors to the county year after year.Think the NQY service has come about as a result of a mega successful German TV series, rather like Game of Thrones, which has boosted German public interest in Cornwall.
Remember sitting in the bar at the Castle Hotel in Taunton in about 2008 waiting for the AA (the car wouldn't start) listening to 2 Americans discussing 'why the hell' they didn't catch the CO flight to BRS, having just got off the train from Reading - they looked knackered!
Cornwall had been popular with German visitors for many years before the Pilcher effect anyway.
I don't think a Stuttgart route is likely, with Eurowings or anyone else. Most of the major German airports are covered from BRS one way or another.
