Have a look at our seminar logo.
It shows the typical pyramid in the middle of the market square where the heart of the town's founder Margrave Karl Wilhelm of Bade is buried. The Margrave founded Karls-Ruhe (Place for Karl or Charles to settle down) after many quarrels with the citizens of his former capital Durlach only a few kilometers away in 1715. His sovereign power outside the medieval town enabled him to build a town according to a drawing table plan.The map of Karlsruhe is symbolised by the black angular line above the pyramid with the half circle representing the castle.
