Top 7 Points of Interest & Landmarks in Innenstadt-West, Baden-Wurttemberg
In 1715, margrave Karl III Wilhelm decided he needed more space than he had in Durlach, so he moved his capital to Karlsruhe and had it designed in circular spokes around his new palace. Because of its unique radial shape, Karlsruhe is sometimes called the “fan city.” Home to Germany’s most important federal courts, the city accordingly teems with civil servants. Karlsruhe Schloss (castle) was badly damaged in World War II, but was rebuilt and is now home to the Badisches Landesmuseum.

Awesome place with a huge parc in the back and some more tiny sights. There is a nice cafe just behind it.

This "oasis of green" in the Center of Karlsruhe invites visitors to linger and enjoy their surroundings. The striking, architecturally unique greenhouse is a highlight. Access to the grounds is possible during the daylight hours for free.
