Ettlingen: Albgau Capital, Baroque Schloss, and the Black Forest Gateway South of Karlsruhe
Ettlingen has a population around 38,900 and lies at the northern edge of the Black Forest in Baden-Wuerttemberg, about 8 kilometres south of Karlsruhe. The Alb river runs through the town centre and gives the area its historical name, the Albgau. Schloss Ettlingen, a baroque palace rebuilt after French troops destroyed much of the town in 1689, houses the Museum and hosts the Ettlinger Schlossfestspiele, an annual summer theatre and music festival.
The Altstadt retains medieval street patterns with the Marktplatz and Rathaus at its heart. Ettlingen's Sterntor, a town gate, marks the old boundary. The Wattkopf, a forested hill, provides views across the Rhine plain. Ettlingen functions partly as a residential satellite of Karlsruhe, with the Stadtbahn connecting both in about 15 minutes. The Albtal, stretching south into the Black Forest, offers hiking and cycling routes. Adult companionship follows Baden-Wuerttemberg's regulatory standards.
