A small, but sometimes urgent, tip: There's a women's restroom (on the 1st floor) and a men's restroom (on the 2nd floor). By the way, the medieval market currently taking place in December is a real highlight.

Evangelical Methodist Church Evangelical We call ourselves "Evangelical" because the Gospel of Jesus Christ is our foundation. At the same time, the name identifies us as part of the Evangelical family of churches, which originated in the Reformation. Methodistic The name "Methodistic" originated from a derogatory remark. It was used to disparage a group of students around John and Charles Wesley in the first half of the 18th century. Instead of the casual student lifestyle typical of the time, they practiced a disciplined way of life. Intensive Bible study and communal prayer were very important to them. Furthermore, they lived out their faith in everyday life through practical service to the poor, the sick, the unemployed, and prisoners. Because they structured and organized this very systematically, they were mocked as Methodists. Church From this student group arose a revival movement that changed the lives of many people. Within a few decades, it grew into a worldwide church. "Church" is never something finished or self-contained. It requires participation and constant renewal, and it changes through the people who join and participate in it. – In Germany, the Evangelical Methodist Church belongs to the branch of the so-called "Evangelical Free Churches." These churches are united by their foundation in Reformation theology and their missionary commitment to winning people over to a life of faith in Jesus Christ.

The Hengst Monument, a listed cultural monument, stands in Hengstplatz (Hengst Square) in Durlach and commemorates Christian Hengst, the former city architect of Durlach, whose initiative led to the establishment of one of Germany's first volunteer fire brigades (Pompiers-Corps) in 1846. Hengstplatz, including the monument, was built in 1896 on the former site of the cattle market to mark the 50th anniversary of the Durlach Volunteer Fire Brigade. The funds were raised through donations from volunteer fire brigades across Germany and cost 6,000 marks. The monument was designed by Hermann Götz, director of the Grand Ducal School of Applied Arts. The bronze elements were crafted by the sculptor Heinrich Bauer, and the architectural details by the firefighter and stonemason Ludwig Kleiber. The monument, situated in the center of Hengstplatz, is nestled within a garden-like setting and symbolizes Durlach's transition from an agricultural village to an industrial city. It consists of an ornamental fountain made of red sandstone. The front features a bronze relief of Christian Hengst and the coat of arms of Durlach. Two basins flank the fountain, above which sit two cherubs riding dolphins. Wearing fire helmets, they hold stylized metal fire hoses and pour water into the basins. The back displays the stylized professional emblem of the fire brigade and a bronze plaque with the following inscription: "Dedicated in gratitude to the deserving founder of the first volunteer fire brigade, Chr. Hengst, by the German Fire Brigade Corps and his home community of Durlach, 1846-1896."

The waterworks was built in 1896 to replace a well house that had existed here since the 16th century and was rebuilt in 1699 and 1824. It has been out of service since 1971.

Karlsburg Castle is a historically significant site: when Margrave Karl II moved his residence from Pforzheim to Durlach in 1565, he and his successors expanded the former hunting lodge. Art and culture were promoted, and a court theater was established. 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.

The Bäderbrünnele served as a water supply for the residents of the surrounding streets and was fed by a spring on Badener Straße, which was in operation until 1911.

The founding of Durlach in the late 12th century was accompanied by the construction of a Romanesque church, of which the lower part of the west tower, with round-arch entrances on the south and north sides and coupled windows, still survives today. Adjoining the east side was a flat-roofed, single-aisled nave of approximately 20 meters, the remains of whose northern outer wall still exist. At the beginning of the 15th century, the church, dedicated to St. Stephen since the 13th century, was rebuilt and expanded in the Gothic style. Of the newly designed three-aisled nave, however, only the central nave with the long choir projecting to the east and ending in an apsidal, and the northern aisle were completed. In addition, the rectangular west tower received an octagonal tower superstructure with a spire. Because the southern aisle was not completed, a chapel with a polygonal eastern end, the so-called Holy Cross Chapel, was added to the south side of the long choir (before 1460). At the conclusion of the extensive construction work, the patronage in honor of Saint Stephen was renewed in 1464. The last major change before the city fire of 1689 took place around 1530, when the two-aisled nave was expanded to the south and east, at the expense of the Holy Cross Chapel and the western part of the long choir, into a spacious three-aisled hall church.
