- The building of the palace and the city's founding go hand in hand. It was constructed in 1715 for Margrave Charles III, who founded the city.

Karlsruhe Off the Beaten Track
The Federal Constitutional Court of Germany
- Karlsruhe has a long history of valuing democracy, human rights, and liberty.
- Carl Friedrich, the founder's grandson, made an official act in which he granted the freedom to serve and abolished the feudal system a few years before the French Revolution.
- So, it is no surprise that Karlsruhe is home to the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany.
- It was designed by Berlin architect Paul Baumgarten in 1969 and perfectly represented the court's transparency.
- The large windows covering the whole building make it look like it flows.
Karlsruhe Market Square
- The Town Hall is a large red sandstone structure where car and bicycle models can be seen. This is because Karl Benz, the inventor of the first automobile, was born in Karlsruhe.
- In addition to being known as the most bicycle-friendly city in Germany, the city was also home to a well-known bicycle factory.
- The Karlsruhe Protestant Church is located directly across from the town hall.
- It was designed by the famous Karlsruhe architect Friedrich Weinbrenner.
- The same architect designed other buildings in the city, such as the Karlsruhe Catholic Church and the Karlsruhe Mint.
- The influences of Roman architecture could be seen in all of them.
- The city founder's resting place, in the shape of a pyramid, is in the centre of Market Square. Originally made of wood, it was later rebuilt in the typical sandstone seen on many city buildings.

- Karlsruhe has always been a city without walls: open, tolerant, and liberal.
- The Marktplatz square, which houses the Protestant church and the Town Hall, is one of Europe's most striking Classicist architectural ensembles.
