Young yet historic, with its fan-shaped foundation and a diverse cultural life, Karlsruhe is more than just a city of justice and information technology. In the sunniest city in Germany, a cultural scene with countless street festivals and (open-air) concerts has been established. 900 hectors of park and green spaces characterize the image of the city, as much as the top-class architecture of the last three centuries. Its diverse and vibrant gastronomy and club-scene is not least due to the over 40,000 students from nine universities. The good weather and plentiful green will also please the sportsperson: Countless clubs as well as university sports at Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT) offer students as well as employees a comprehensive range of sports. Additionally, opportunities for further study such as at the KIT’s language center or the range of cooperations between the universities, further enrich study and work.
There is much emphasis on culture and art in Karlsruhe. Aside from the renowned and neighboring ZKM, many museums such as the Staatliche Kunsthalle, the Badische Landesmuseum or the Städtische Galerie await visitors. Diverse art galleries and a young creative scene around the old slaughterhouse serve as great meet-up points after studies.
Karlsruhe is an attractive living area where the bus, train and tram systems make living in the vicinity possible. Students who register their primary residence will receive a welcome package from the city of Karlsruhe.
