Did You Know?

A City Shaped Like a Fan

Karlsruhe was laid out in 1715 with 32 streets radiating from the palace tower like spokes, which is why it is nicknamed the fan city. Germany's Federal Constitutional Court sits here rather than in the capital, deliberately.

The clock: Karlsruhe keeps UTC+1. Germany's first email was received here in 1984 — the country's internet domain has been administered from the city ever since.
