    Monument to Carl Friedrich (1728-1811), Grand Duke of Baden.

    Translated by Google •

      The Grand Duke Karl Friedrich monument stands on the Karlsruhe Palace Square.
      In his right hand, the Grand Duke holds the document dated July 23, 1783, abolishing serfdom in Baden. On the base is the grand ducal coat of arms from 1807 to 1830. The four female figures on each corner of the base represent Altbaden, the country on the Main and Neckar, the Black Forest in the back left and the landscape on Lake Constance on the right.

        A very beautiful statue!
        But my highlight is the space around it! A colorful and lively crowd criss-crosses the square with great events such as the ice age or the castle light show

            Somehow I always stop here for a picture when I cycle to Karlsruhe. In winter a beautiful backdrop for the ICE AGE, in summer I like the people strolling and relaxing in front of the castle.

              In 1844, Grand Duke Leopold had a memorial erected by the sculptor Ludwig Schwanthaler on the palace square for Grand Duke Karl Friedrich von Baden. In his right hand, the Grand Duke holds the document dated July 23, 1783, abolishing serfdom in Baden.
