Erbgroßherzogliches Palais, Baroque revival palace in Karlsruhe, Germany.

The palace features a two-story facade with a central three-axis projection, high entrance portal, and glass dome above the grand staircase.

Built between 1891 and 1897 for Crown Prince Friedrich II of Baden and his wife Hilda of Nassau following designs by architect Josef Durm.

The palace contains a marble memorial plaque commemorating 34 judges and lawyers who died in Soviet captivity during World War II.

Since 1958, the building has functioned as the headquarters of the Federal Court of Justice of Germany, the highest court for civil cases.

The palace grounds span four hectares and incorporate garden elements from both the Weinbrenner era and Durm's late 19th-century redesign.
