Organ Factory Karlsruhe

Highlight • Structure

Organs used to be built here, but for a long time now it has been a very diverse cultural center with exhibitions, theater, cabaret and readings in an atmospheric, slightly run-down environment.

The program of all sections can be found on the website of the city's cultural office: karlsruhe.de/kultur-freizeit/soziokultur-und-stadtgesellschaft/orgelfabik

Moat at the city wall in Durlach

Highlight • Historical Site

Nice connection from Weiherstrasse to Basler-Tor-Strasse along the old city wall. Nice photo opportunity and there is always something to discover in the details of the city wall - which is also the outer wall of the houses built there.

Basler Gate (Durlach)

Highlight • Monument

A beautiful medieval gate, rebuilt in 1760 – 71 years after its destruction by fire. Remnants of the city wall can still be seen towards Turmberg along the path "Am Stadtgraben" (At the City Moat).

The Basel Gate likely dates back to the 14th century and secured access from the south until the mid-19th century. It was named for its role as the gateway to Basel, where the Margraves maintained a secondary residence (city palace).

Turmberg Ruins and Viewpoint (Durlach, Karlsruhe)

Highlight • Viewpoint

Not only during the day you have a magnificent view of Durlach and Karlsruhe as well as towards the Rhine plain and the Rhine-Neckar area. It's really romantic here when it's dark. The remains of an old castle are accessible as a lookout tower. You can also go up the mountain itself with the Turmbergbahn from Durlach.

Viewpoint over Durlach

Highlight • Viewpoint

There are 3 benches below the Turmberg with a view of Durlach.

It is much quieter here than on the higher Turmberg terrace.
