Karlstor Heidelberg

Highlight • Monument

The triumphal arch in honor of the Elector Karl Theodor at the eastern end of the city was built between 1775 and 1781 according to plans by Nicolas de Pigage. At the laying of the foundation stone on October 2, 1775, the elector appeared in person. He was also the one who led the architect to combine elements from three submitted designs into a fourth plan. The result is a classical building in the tradition of Roman Siegestore crowned by four Palatinate lions. In the middle part, the portraits of the Elector and his wife can be seen on the western side of the city under the princely hat. Outwardly the midfield carries the dedication inscription and above it a weapon trophy with the Kurpfälzer coat of arms. The sculptures were created by Peter Simon Lamine. The gate was never completely completed.

Towpath along the Neckar in Heidelberg

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Nice path - but can sometimes be very narrow if there are a few people on the way - and when the water level is high it can be quite muddy, if not under water.

Theodor-Heuss-Bridge with a view of the old town
