Old town around Ettlingen Castle
Highlight • Historical Site
Today's castle had two, possibly three, previous buildings. After the Baden Margrave Hermann V was enfeoffed by Emperor Friedrich II with the town of Ettlingen, which was founded by the Hohenstaufens, his son Margrave Rudolf I of Baden built a castle complex in the middle of the 13th century - possibly on the remains of a previous Hohenstaufen building; However, a previous building has not yet been proven. The lower floors of the keep in the castle courtyard, which are still preserved today, date from this time.
A magnificent Renaissance castle followed in the 16th century. Two round corner towers were added to the south wing, and the keep was given a half-timbered upper floor. The three-wing Renaissance complex around the old keep, completed in 1600, was destroyed along with the entire city by French troops in the War of the Palatinate Succession in 1689.

Ettlingen Town Hall
Highlight • Monument
About the town hall:
After Ettlingen's complete destruction by the French in the War of the Palatinate Succession in 1689, the town hall was completed in 1738. Built in the Baroque style from red sandstone typical of the region, the building is one of the city center's most striking architectural landmarks. Along the central axis, from bottom to top, are the Ettlingen coat of arms on the balcony, the Baden coat of arms, the St. George sculpture, and the figure of Justitia on the gable crown.
