The market square fountain with the Grand Duke Ludwig monument was designed by Weinbrenner. He got his water from the first pipe, inaugurated at the beginning of 1824, which supplied the public fountains in Karlsruhe with water from a Durlach spring. The statue (1833) was reconstructed after World War II.

The dominant buildings on the square are the town church and the town hall opposite, which were built according to designs by Friedrich Weinbrenner. The Karlsruhe Pyramid is also located on the square.

Hiking

The time has come: After a long construction period, the pyramid has been unveiled again - the symbol of our city and the burial place of the city's founder, Karl Wilhelm von Baden-Durlach. Where the axes meet in the fan-shaped floor plan, a rail-free marketplace is created for cafés and restaurants, old and new formats such as the Karlsruhe evening market and many other events.
On Saturday, October 10, 2020, the redesigned Karlsruhe market square was officially opened.
