State Mints of Baden-Wuerttemberg, Cultural heritage monument and mint in Karlsruhe, Germany.

The State Mints of Baden-Wuerttemberg occupies a classical building designed by Friedrich Weinbrenner, situated at Stephanienstrasse 28a in central Karlsruhe.

Founded in 1827, the mint initially produced five-gulden coins made from Rhine gold, featuring portraits of Grand Duke Ludwig of Baden.

The facility bears the mint mark 'G' based on historical rankings among German mints, continuing a tradition established during the German Empire in 1871.

The State Mint remains active in currency production, manufacturing 38 percent of Germany's circulating coins in collaboration with the Stuttgart facility.

During the 1970s, the mint director orchestrated unauthorized reproductions of rare coins, leading to a significant controversy known as the Karlsruhe Mint Scandal.
