Important note:
! There is a lot of activity in Karlsruhe as the town is working on a ground breaking
infrastructure project – the „combined solution“. By 2019, a railway tunnel
and a road tunnel will be built in Karlsruhe. The goal is, amongst other things,
to have a rail-free pedestrian zone, which will make the Karlsruhe city centre
even more attractive in the future. As a result there are some partial traffic
restrictions. Please check well in advance for possible diversions. Information is

 As a „Gateway to the Black Forest“, Karlsruhe is considered to
be one of the sunniest towns in Germany and is surrounded
with beautiful scenery.
It owes its unique townscape as a „fan-shaped city“ to its foun-
der, Margrave Karl Wilhelm, who had his palace built at its cen-
tre in 1715, from where the roads emanate like rays.
Culture and art traditionally have a high profile as the Badisches
Landesmueum (Baden State Museum), the State Art Gallery as
well as many other institutions prove. Karlsruhe is of particular
importance in the cultural scene with the ZKM (Center for Art
and Media), the world‘s first media museum.
Welcome to Karlsruhe
4 5
Extensive clothes shops and department stores, exquisite
boutiques, modern shopping centres, hip trend shops and
innovative specialist shops all attract shoppers to Karlsruhe.
Moreover, Karlsruhe is a „city on the countryside“ with over
1,000 hectares of public parks, lakes and forests for active and
varied leisure activities. The proximity to France can be felt every-
where in the city, whether in the local cuisine, the excellent
wines or the joie de vivre, which the locals exude.
Culture, nature, pleasure and the Baden lifestyle – there are
many reasons to come to Karlsruhe.
We look forward to your visit!

Town Hall

The Town Hall was completed in 1825 using plans drawn up by the city
architect Friedrich Weinbrenner. A statue of Mercury, the symbol for
trade and commerce, graces the top of the town hall tower. The centre of
the building features a pillared loggia. There is also a Glockenspiel here,

Municipal Protestant Church
The Municipal Protestant Church was built according to plans drawn up by
the famous Karlsruhe architect Friedrich Weinbrenner, as the cathedral church
of Baden, on the orders of Grand Duke Karl Friedrich. The foundation stone
was laid in 1807 and the inauguration took place in 1816. The vestibule gable
is supported by six high Corinthian columns. A gold-plated angel adorns the
steeple. Under the central nave of the church is the former crypt of the Grand
Duke‘s family.
www.stadtkirche-karlsruhe.de
It is worth taking a look at the crypt.
There are almost always interesting exhibitions there. And
Weinbrenner‘s sarcophagus is located in an alcove directly
underneath the entrance to the church.
Grand Duke‘s Burial Chapel
The Grand Duke‘s Burial Chapel is atmospherically situated in the
middle of the Hardtwald forest. It is the only royal building of that period
in Baden to survive the Second World War undamaged. The crypt in the
basement of the chapel is well worth seeing with its original stained-glass
windows adorned with plant motifs.
www.grabkapelle-karlsruhe.de
Ständehaus memorial
The Karlsruhe Ständehaus was the first separate new Parliament building in
Germany and represents 125 years of parliamentary history in Baden. It is right-
fully considered to be a pioneer of democracy in Germany. The „Ständehaus
memorial“ has been a reminder of this tradition since 1993.

Federal Constitutional Court and Federal Supreme Court
Karlsruhe symbolises the „Seat of Justice“ and represents the modern,
democratic, constitutional state of Germany. The highest German legal insti-
tutions are headquartered here: the Federal Constitutional Court, the Federal
Supreme Court and the Federal Public Prosecutor‘s office. The Federal Consti-
tutional Court has had its seat in Karlsruhe from the outset. It is situated
between the palace square and the Botanical gardens. The open design of the
official building is supposed to give the impression of democratic transparency.
www.bundesverfassungsgericht.de
Platz der Grundrechte
„Platz der Grundrechte“ (The square of fundamental rights) was laid down as
a gift from the city of Karlsruhe to the Federal Constitutional Court in 2005.
Here there are 24 double-sided signs, which deal with the topics of law and
injustice – with statements from judges, lawyers and citizens who have come
into conflict with the law.
Prinz-Max-Palais
The Prinz-Max-Palais has a turbulent past. Originally the grandiose retirement
residence of a large-scale entrepreneur, it then became the palace of the high
nobility of Baden, residence of the last imperial chancellor, former seat of the
Federal Constitutional Court and university building. Today the building houses
the City Museum, the Museum of Upper Rhine literature, the Literary Society
as well as the children‘s library.

 Region

The region
around Karlsruhe
Karlsruhe is not only surrounded by wonderful forests, picturesque
riparian woodlands along the Rhine and sun-drenched plains: nearby
Alsace, the Palatinate Forest and the Black Forest are all exciting trip
destinations. The perfect addition to a city experience!

Albtal 10 km
The Albtal (Alb valley) is right on Karlsruhe‘s doorstep – a beautiful and romantic
landscape of rivers, meadows and valleys at the northern edge of the Black
Forest. The valley owes its name to the Alb River, which gently winds its way
from the thermal spring, Bad Herrenalb, past the Frauenalb monastery ruins
with its baroque double towers to Ettlingen with its palace and picturesque old
town. www.albtal-tourismus.de
Alsace 40 km
The holiday region in northeast France is idyllically situated between the Rhine
and the Vosges and offers an abundance of leisure activities. A discovery tour
by car or bicycle alongside the majestic palaces, Romanesque and Gothic chur-
ches, romantic half-timbered houses with colourful roofs or castle ruins on the
heights of the Vosges is certainly worthwhile. www.tourisme-alsace.com/en

Kraichgau-Stromberg 25 km Baden-Baden 40 km

Wine and forest region with cordial hospitality. Ideal for hiking and cycling. Popular spa town with a world-famous casino. www.baden-baden.de

Heidelberg 55 km
Northern Black Forest 30 km
Romantic university town on the Neckar River with its famous castle.
The northern Black Forest attracts visitors with its primordial nature, where valleys
www.heidelberg-marketing.de
and peaks gracefully alternate. Natural areas like the Sommerberg mountain with
its treetop walk and the Kaltenbronn lead hikers into unspoilt forests with lakes
and upland moor. The Monbachtal valley with its mossy, wild romantic paths is a
challenge for cyclists. www.mein-schwarzwald.de Maulbronn Monastery 40 km
UNESCO World Heritage site. The monastery is one of the most beautiful and
Pforzheim 35 km most important Cistercian monasteries in Europe. www.kloster-maulbronn.de

The „golden city“ of Pforzheim with its unique jewellery museum has a new
tourist highlight – Gasometer with the 360° PANORAMA „ROME 312“,
created by Yadegar Asisi. www.pforzheim.de
Central/North Black Forest Nature Park 40 km
Hikers, cyclists und mountain bikers will be in their element in the Black Forest
Nature Park. Whether in walking boots or on your bike‘s saddle, here you pass
through picturesque vineyards, ancient forests and lush orchards.
www.naturparkschwarzwald.de
Black Forest National Park 65 km
The first national park in Baden-Württemberg has a total area of approx.
100km². Here, the landscape is protected in its entirety, with mountains,
forests and lakes. The national park extends in two branches along the Black
Forest High Road between Baden-Baden and Freudenstadt. The extensive net-
work of cycling paths and footpaths allows visitors to explore nature. Maps and
touring route suggestions are available at the Ruhestein visitor centre.
www.schwarzwald-nationalpark.de

Südpfalz 40 km Europapark 100 km

What would the Südpfalz be without its wine? It characterises the landscape
Germany‘s biggest theme park – an experience for all ages.
and has a significant part of the cultural and economic diversity: Rarely can
www.europapark.de
one find a larger variety of hearty wine taverns, knights‘ castles, fortresses,
churches and festivals in such a small area. For both active visitors and connois-
seurs, the Palatinate Forest and the German Wine Route offer opportunities for
extensive hiking and day trips. www.suedpfalz-tourismus.de (The kilometres given indicate the approximate distance)

Terms and conditions
for the Karlsruhe Card
Dear guests of the City of Karlsruhe,
With the Karlsruhe Card, Karlsruhe Tourismus GmbH and participating service partners offer you special
services and benefits to help make your stay in Karlsruhe an unforgettable experience. In offering this facility,
it is important that certain reciprocal rights and obligations are clearly understood, and these are laid down in
the following Terms and Conditions of Use. Please read these terms and conditions carefully before using the
card and taking advantage of the benefits it provides.
1. Basic provisions, participants and subject
of these Terms and Conditions of Use
1.1. The Karlsruhe Card is hereinafter referred to as
the „Card“, the buyer of the Card is referred to
as the „Cardholder“. The issuer of the Card
and the party to the card use contract with the
Cardholder is Karlsruhe Tourismus GmbH,
hereinafter referred to as „KTG“.
1.2. „Service partners“ within the meaning of
these conditions are institutions, companies,
independent operators, traders and facilities
which provide the respective services and benefits
to the Cardholders and are specified as a service
provider in the currently applicable service list
for the Card.
1.3. The sales outlets have no performance obligation
with respect to the Cardholder regarding
performance, either as a key contractual
obligation or as an ancillary contractual obliga-
tion. The same applies for KTG as the issuer of
the Card, except with regard to services or
benefits which KTG itself undertakes to provide.
1.4. The sales outlets, the service partners and KTG
do not have the status of a package tour
operator or travel agent. With regard to the
status of package tour operator, this only applies
to the extent that the above-mentioned
participants do not appear, in the meaning of
the principles of Article 651a par. 2 of the
German Civil Code (Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch
– BGB), to provide an integrated package of
contractually envisaged services as their own
service.
2. Legal basis, information und warranties of
third parties
2.1. The entire legal and contractual relation-
ships between KTG and the Cardholder within
the framework of the card use contract and
between the Cardholder and the service partner
within the framework of the contractual and
use relationship regarding the respective services
are subject exclusively to German law, except
where mandatory provisions of EU law provide
otherwise in favour of the Cardholder for
contracts with cardholders from EU Member
States.
2.2. The contractual and service relationship
between the Cardholder and the service partners
is subject to the relevant provisions of these
Terms and Conditions of Use and, if they have
been effectively agreed or are generally effective
under the provisions of law, their terms and
42
conditions of business and/or terms and
conditions of service or carriage, as well as the
provisions of law applicable to the service
relationship.
2.3. Through the issuance and use of the Card, no
contractual obligations arise between the Card-
holder and KTG or the sales outlets with regard
to the services themselves. The respective
service partner alone is obliged with respect to
the Cardholder to render the service or grant
the benefit with regard to the respective service,
price reduction or other benefit and not KTG,
the host or the sales outlet, except where their
own offers are concerned.
3. Payment for the Card and relationship of
the card services to other services of the
service partners
3.1. The currently advertised prices apply for the
purchase of the Card. Up to the conclusion of
the card use contract, price increases relative to
the advertised prices are possible.
3.2. If the Card provides benefits a precondition
for which is the conclusion of a contract giving
rise to a payment obligation with the respective
service partner, the discount will be granted on
the current prices of the service partner
applicable at the time of the conclusion of the
contract. If discounts are not granted as a
percentage of the service partner’s price, in the
event of a price increase of the service partner
the discount will not be adjusted in line with
the increased prices of the service partner.
4. Service obligations; type and scope of
service, restrictions on the services and
exclusion from use
4.1. By issuing the Card, KTG enables the Card-
holder to take advantage of the services or
benefits specified in the currently applicable
service list for the Card.
4.2. When a free-of-charge service and/or the
discount is claimed in accordance with the service
description for the Card, a contractual relation-
ship is established with the respective service
partner on claiming the service or discount.
4.3. The type and scope of the services and/or
benefits for the Cardholder are specified ex-
clusively in the service list applicable at the time
when the Card is issued, which will be provided
to the Cardholder together with the Card or
generally advertised/announced.
4.4. The service partners shall only be obliged to
render their services in accordance with the
general terms and conditions of their business
activities, particularly taking into account ad-
vertised service periods, opening hours and
general conditions (e.g. weather conditions).
4.5. The service partners can restrict the advertised
services or benefits entirely or partially,
particularly their timeframe, provided that there
are practical reasons for doing so. These
include, in particular, obstacles to performance
due to weather conditions, requirements or
orders of governmental authorities, maintenance
work or repairs, measures for reasons related
to road safety, undue congestion or overcrowding
of facilities or other, similarly practical reasons.
5. Validity of the Card
5.1. The Card services/benefits can only be claimed
in the advertised effective year and for the
respective period of validity. Interruptions of the
period of use and later resumption of use are
not permitted. Only continuous use for the
days covered by the Card’s validity is permitted.
Distribution of the days of use over various
stays or non-contiguous calendar days is not
allowed. The above provisions also apply if the
Cardholder for reasons related to his/her person
or within his/her sphere of influence, is unable
to make full or further use of the Card after
commencement of validity. There is no entitle-
ment to the transfer of the Card and/or its
performances to future stays or other persons.
6. The use of the Card; obligations and
liability of the Cardholder
6.1. In order to take advantage of the services, the
Cardholder must produce the original card and
present it to the service partner before taking
advantage of the service, for electronic
verification or visual inspection.
6.2. The Cardholder must if requested produce a
valid official identity document bearing a photo-
graph. If he/she is unable to do so, the service
partner can refuse to render the performance.
With regard to age-related performances and
benefits for the Cardholder or his/her entitled
relatives, the service partner can demand
appropriate proof of age.
6.3. If the Card is lost or stolen or becomes
defective, the Cardholder must immediately
report the incident to the accommodation
facility or the issuing body. There is no entitle-
ment to free-of-charge issuance of a new Card.
7. Right to make changes to the card services
and the terms and conditions of use
7.1. KTG and the service partners reserve the right
to change the services as defined in the
currently applicable service list for practical
reasons, by way of a unilateral declaration
or public announcement. The same applies
to changes to these terms and conditions
of use by KTG.
7.2. Any changes after the issue of the Card are
excluded for the period of validity applicable to
the respective Cardholder.
8. Cancellation, failure to take advantage of
card performances and rescission
8.1. The Cardholder is advised that under the
provisions of law (Article 312g par. 2 sentence 1
No. 9 BGB) there is no cancellation right with
regard to contracts on guest cards and taking
advantage of the relevant services and benefits
as contracts on services in connection with
recreational activities which are concluded
through distance selling (letters, catalogues,
telephone calls, faxes, e-mails, messages sent
through mobile services (text messages) or
radio or telemedia). However, a cancellation
right does exist if the contract was not concluded
through distance selling but outside business
premises, unless the oral negotiations on which
the conclusion of the contract is based were
conducted upon a previous order being placed
by the consumer. In the latter case, a cancellation
right also does not exist.
8.2. If the Cardholder, for reasons for which KTG,
the service partners, the hosts or sales outlets
are not responsible, fails in whole or in part to
take advantage of card performances, he/she
will not be entitled to a refund of the purchase
price. However, KTG will repay saved expenses
of the service partners, as soon as and
provided that they are actually reimbursed
by the service partners and provided that
remuneration is not payable to the service
partners under the terms of the arrangements
made with them in the event that the
performances or benefits are not claimed.
