Karlsruhe (German pronunciation: [ˈkaʁlsˌʁuːə]; umwhile Carlsruhe) is the seicont-lairgest ceety in the state o Baden-Württemberg, in soothwast Germany, near the Franco-German border. It haes a population o 296,033. Karlsruhe Pailace wis biggit in 1715 an the ceety is nou the seat o twa o the heichest courts in Germany, the Federal Constitutional Court an the Federal Court o Juistice.[3][4]

It haes been speculatit that Karlsruhe wis a model for Washington, D.C. as baith ceeties hae a centre frae which the streets radiate ootwaird.[5]

Geografie[eedit | eedit soorce]

The 49th parallel north in the Karlsruhe Stadtgarten

The ceety lees at an altitude atween 100 m (on the eastren shore o the river Rhine) an 322 m (near the communications touer. In the suburb o Wettersbach). Its geographical coordinates are 49°00′N 8°24′E / 49.000°N 8.400°E / 49.000; 8.400; the 49th parallel rins throuch the ceety centre. Its course is merked bi a stane an painted line in the Stadtgarten ("ceety park").

MiRO oil refinery

The ceety wis planned wi the palace touer (Schloss) at the centre an 32 streets radiating oot frae it lik the spokes o a wheel, or the ribs o a folding fan, sae that ane nickname for Karlsruhe in German is the "fan ceety" (Fächerstadt). Naur aw o thir streets survived til the day. Acause o this ceety layout, in metric geometry, Karlsruhe metric refers tae a meisur o distance that assumes traivel is anerly possible alang radial streets an alang circular avenues aroon the centre.[6]

The ceety centre is the auldest pairt o toun an lees sooth o the palace in the quadrant defined bi nine o the radial streets. The central pairt o the palace rins east-wast, wi twa wings, ilk o thaim at a 45° angle, direckit southeast an southwest (i.e., parallel wi the streets markin the boundaries o the quadrant definin the ceety centre).

The mercat square lees on the street rinnin sooth frae the palace tae Ettlingen. The mercat square haes the town hall (Rathaus) tae the wast, the main Lutheran kirk (Evangelische Stadtkirche) tae the east, an the tomb o Margrave Charles III William in a pyramid in the buildings, resultin in Karlsruhe bein ane o anerly three muckle cities in Germany whaur buildings are laid oot in the Neoclassical style.

The aurie north o the palace is a park an forest. Oreeginally the aurie tae the east o the palace consisted o gardens an wids, some o it remainin, but the Karlsruhe Institute o Technology (foundit in 1825), Wildparkstadion, an residential auries hae been biggit thare. The aurie wast o the palace is nou maistly residential.

History[eedit | eedit soorce]

Accordin tae legend, the name Karlsruhe, that translates as Charles’ repose, wis gien tae the new ceety efter a huntin trip whan Charles III William, Margrave o Baden-Durlach, woke frae a dream in that he dreamt o foundin his new ceety.

Charles William foundit the ceety on Juin 17, 1715, efter a dispute wi the ceetizens o his previous caipital, Durlach. The foundin o the ceety is close linkit tae the construction o the palace. Karlsruhe became the caipital o Baden-Durlach an in 1771 o the unitit Baden til 1945. Biggit in 1822, the "Ständehaus" wis the first parliament biggin in a German State. In the eftercome o the democratic revolution o 1848, a republican govrenment wis elect here.

In 1860, the first-ever international professional convention, the Karlsruhe Congress, wis held in the ceety.[citation needit]

A fair bit o the central aurie, includin the palace, wis reduced tae rubble bi Allied bombing durin Warld War II but wis biggit again efter the war. Locate in the American zone o the post-war Allied occupation, Karlsruhe wis hame tae an American military base, established in 1945. In 1995, the bases closed an thair facilities war turned ower tae the ceety o Karlsruhe.[9][10]

Main sights[eedit | eedit soorce]

The Stadtgarten is a recreational aurie naur the main railwey station (Hauptbahnhof) an wis biggit again in 1967 durin the 'Federal Garden Shaw' (Bundesgartenschau). It is the site o Karlsruhe Zoo an aa.

The Durlacher Turmberg haes a leuk-oot touer (hence its name). It is a umwhile keep datin back tae the 13t century.

Jewish community[eedit | eedit soorce]

Jewish cemetery o Grötzingen

Jews settled in Karlsruhe syne its foundation. Thay war attracted bi the numerous privileges granted bi its founder tae settlers, athout discrimination as tae creed. offeecial documents attest the presence o several Jewish families at Karlsruhe in 1717. A year later, the ceety council addressed tae the margrave a report whaur a quaisten wis raised as tae the proportion o municipal charges tae be borne bi the newly arrived Jews, wha formed an organized congregation in that year, wi Rabbi Nathan Uri Kohen o Metz at its heid. A document dated 1726 gies the names o twenty-fower Jews wha haed takken pairt in an election o municipal officers. As the ceety grew permission tae settle thare became less easy obtained bi Jews, an the community developed mair slowly. A 1752 Jewry ordinance stated Jews war forbidden tae lae the ceety on Sundays an Christian halidays, or tae gang oot o thair houses durin kirk services, but thay war exempted frae service bi court summonses on Sabbaths. Thay coud sell wine anerly in inns awned bi Jews an graze thair nowt, no on the commons, but anerly on the wayside. Karlsruhe wis the seat o the central council o Baden Jewry. The first chief rabbi o the kitnra Rabbi Asher Lowe wis frae (Durlach) Karlsruhe, Nethaneel Weil wis a rabbi in Karlsruhe frae 1750 til his deith.

Karlsruhe Synagogue, biggit bi Friedrich Weinbrenner in 1798, existit until 1871

In 1783, bi a decree issued bi Margrave Charles Frederick o Baden, the Jews ceased tae be serfs, an consequently coud settle in whitever place thay pleased. The same decree freed thaim frae the "Todfall" tax, paid tae the clergy for ilk Jewish burial. In commemoration o thir chynges special prayers war prepared bi the actin rabbi Jedidiah Tiah Weill, wha, succeeding his faither in 1770, held the office til 1805. In 1808 the govrenment issued regulations anent the admeenistration o the spiritual affairs o the Jewish community; bi that, the chief rabbi o Karlsruhe became the spiritual heid o the Jews o the country. Complete emancipation wis gien in 1862, Jews war elected tae ceety council an Baden parliament, an frae 1890 war appyntit judges. Jews war persecuted in riots occurring in 1819 an anti-Jewish demonstrations war held in 1843, 1848, an the 1880s. The weel-kent German-Israeli airtist Leo Kahn studied in Karlsruhe afore leaing for France an Israel in the 1920s an 1930s.

Public hanukkah on the Schlossplatz

The community awned buildings an property, lik twa synagogues, ane on Karl-Friedrich-Straße an ane on Kronenstraße, twa elderly ceetizens' hames, a Jewish scuil, a hospital, welfare institutions, an several Jewish cemeteries. Durin the first years o the Nazi regime, the community continued tae function, parteecularly tae prepare Jews for emigration. On October 28, 1938, aw male Pols Jews livin in Karlsruhe war deported tae Poland. Synagogues war destroyed on Kristallnacht, 9–10 November 1938. Maist o the men war arrested an sent tae Dachau concentration camp, but war released efter thay haed furnished proof that thay intendit tae emigrate. In October 1940, 895 Jews war expelled during Operation Wagner-Bürckel an interned bi the French Vichy authorities in Gurs in soothren France. Maist o thaim war then deported frae thare tae Auschwitz (via the Drancy deportation camp, on the outskirts o Paris) atween August an November 1942. Maist o the 429 remainin Jews an ither sae‑cried "non-Aryans" war deported tae the east atween 1941 an 1944. In 1945 thare war anerly 18 Jews in Karlsruhe. Mair nor 1,000 o thaim haed been killt atween 1933 an 1945.[16] The Baden Central Jewish Council wis reorganized in 1948. A new synagogue wis biggit in 1969.
