"Quite urban!" A tour through Karlsruhe
What exactly does the Federal Court of Justice do? What was the story behind the Buback assassination and the RAF? And how does the law relate to our everyday lives? These and many other questions are answered during the free themed city tour „Recht stadtlich!“ organized by the Forum Recht Foundation. Together, we’ll discover Karlsruhe’s curiosities, the city’s scandals—both big and small—and learn about its courts and fascinating legal cases. From the most progressive constitution to art in public spaces, „Recht stadtlich!“ has it all. Follow us on a journey through the rule of law and discover a new side of Karlsruhe.
