Karlsruhe, District capital in Baden-Württemberg, Germany
The city extends across the Rhine Plain between the Black Forest and Palatinate Forest, featuring a distinct radial layout with 32 streets emerging from the palace.
Margrave Karl Wilhelm established the city in 1715, constructing a central palace that became the focal point of a precisely planned fan-shaped urban development.
The Center for Art and Media ranks among the leading cultural institutions in Germany, presenting digital art, contemporary exhibitions, and technological innovations.
The central Marktplatz square connects to numerous shopping areas, restaurants, and the main transportation hub, making it an essential point for city navigation.
The Federal Constitutional Court and Federal Court of Justice establish Karlsruhe as Germany's judicial capital, concentrating national legal authority in one location.
