In Search of Justice
The „Recht stadtlich!“ city walking tours are starting up again in Karlsruhe and Leipzig
What exactly does the Federal Court of Justice do? What cases does the Federal Administrative Court hear? What was that all about with the Buback assassination and the RAF? And what does the law have to do with our everyday lives?
Our free city tour, „Recht stadtlich!“—organized by the Forum Recht Foundation—answers these and many other questions in a relaxed atmosphere as we explore the city together.
Along the way, we come across curious stories, scandals both big and small, and fascinating legal cases. We’ll take a look at courthouses, discover art in public spaces, and learn what the „most progressive constitution“ is all about. In short: a tour tracing the history of the rule of law—offering new perspectives on Karlsruhe and Leipzig.
The tours take place from April through October Instead: in Karlsruhe every second Thursday of the month, and in Leipzig every third Thursday. Group tours can be booked for groups of ten or more. And in Karlsruhe, there’s also a special Europe edition.
We also have a little surprise in store: By summer 2026, we’ll have templates for location-independent city tours that you can take on your own or in groups in your city. The materials will be available here on the website: Subscribe to our Newsletter and be the first to hear about the new city walking tour concept!
