The pyramid, built in 1823, is the symbol of the city of Karlsruhe. Below it is the crypt of the Concordia Church, which was demolished in 1807, and in which the city's founder and namesake, Margrave Karl Wilhelm von Baden-Durlach (1679-1738), is buried. Around the pyramid is the market square with the town church, town hall and market fountain.

The pyramid is the tomb of the city's founder, Karl Wilhelm von Baden-Durlach (1679-1738), and a landmark of the city. Every time I'm in the city, this pyramid is surrounded by stalls or small booths. 😂
