Durlach Town Church
Highlight • Religious Site
As part of the town's founding by the Staufer dynasty (1192–1196), a small Romanesque church with a nave of 20 meters was built. The current floor plan dates back to around 1530.
de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stadtkirche_Durlach
On the Saumarkt in front of the church tower, you will also find one of the decentralized locations of the "Platz der Grundrechte" (Square of Fundamental Rights). The main square is located in Karlsruhe between Marktplatz and Schloss.
Text on the sign:
"The law adapts to life. Laws often follow jurisprudence. What is perceived as lawful today, our children may perceive as unlawful. People change, but above all, the awareness of law changes. There are sixteen federal constitutional judges, so that not only majorities are possible. The law is relative.
The law can be violated out of recklessness or because the individual does not feel understood by society. The individual's motivation varies greatly. Sometimes it happens out of deep offense or lack of understanding. Sometimes it is also solely the wish or the will to break the laws."

Karlsburg Castle
Highlight • Castle
After surviving the Thirty Years' War without significant damage, the splendor of the Durlach residence came to an abrupt end on August 16, 1689. During the War of the Palatine Succession, the castle and the town were set ablaze by French troops. The previously spacious buildings and magnificent grounds were almost completely destroyed by the flames. By 1715, the western wing of the castle, including the chapel and stables, had been rebuilt. However, the relocation of the court to the newly founded Karlsruhe three years later put an end to further expansion plans. Subsequently, Karlsburg served as a residence for widows and, in the 19th century, as a barracks.
