Forum Recht Foundation Makes Its Debut at KAMUNA – Legal Topics Draw Significant Interest
Last weekend, the Forum Recht Foundation participated for the first time in KAMUNA—a popular event that attracts many visitors to the city’s cultural institutions every year.
The foundation showcased a diverse program at its pop-up location in Karlsruhe’s main train station as well as at its offices on Karlstraße. The Pop-up Exhibition: „Law – The Rules of Everyday Life“ It was on display throughout the evening at Karlsruhe Central Station, partly as part of guided tours. The „Zu Recht: Nachgefragt!“ meet-and-greet event was particularly popular, as it gave guests the opportunity to talk with a judge or an attorney.
After some initial hesitation, a accompanying card set A lively exchange quickly ensued. Topics of discussion included questions about studying law, the judicial system in Germany, and the personal experiences of the lawyers in their various fields of specialization. Another highlight was the interactive quiz on the topics of law and the rule of law, held in the foundation’s offices. The participants remained engaged until the end and asked specific questions. The Ulrich Bunk, Vice President of the Karlsruhe Regional Court, stayed until the very end—because, as he said himself, he found it so exciting that he just couldn't leave early.
In addition, a compact version of the „Truly Urban!“ City Walking Tour“ It was held twice that evening. The tour wound through downtown Karlsruhe and highlighted sites and events of legal and historical significance—including the role of the Federal Court of Justice and the RAF’s legacy in Karlsruhe. One participant spontaneously shared that she used to live next door to a member of the RAF—a striking example of how personal stories intersect with historical contexts. The foundation’s extensive informational materials, such as the „Construction Brochure“ The presentations on the planned construction projects in Karlsruhe and Leipzig generated a great deal of interest.
The positive feedback from first-time visitors as well as „returning visitors“ shows that the Forum Recht Foundation, through its program, has made a successful contribution to KAMUNA was able to provide. Many visitors expressed a desire to take advantage of the foundation’s other offerings in the future—an encouraging sign for its future work in public spaces.
