Nope, they are 4-axle trams. Unlike other trams of this time-period they got no truck under the articulation. The trucks are connected by a metal frame ("Gelenkträger"). Conventional 6-axle trams were tested in Stuttgart but they weren't satisfying. With this special construction the needs of Stuttgart could be served very well. (Steep ascends, narrow curves)
This construction is also known in Munich (P-Type trams, built by Rathgeber), Bremen (GT4, build by Wegmann) and Berlin (Tatra KT4D) and are called "Kurzgelenkwagen".
Have a look at this: [link] Scroll down to "Weblinks" and click the last one.
It is just a model but it is exactly the same principle as the real one.
2/3 of the weight rest on the inner 2 axles.
