In the middle of the nineteenth century, the Südstadt emerged as a workers' residential area and as the first urban expansion south of the first train station on Kriegsstrasse.

Today's southwestern city of Karlsruhe is located on almost the entire former Beiertheim district. In the years 1800 and 1808, the city gradually acquired building land from the neighboring community to the south for an urgently needed urban expansion. The district is divided into three areas: the eastern part is made up of the main train station, the fairground with the congress center and the Karlsruhe Zoological Garden
The idea of a new district in the northeastern Hardtwald came in the 1950s and 1960s, as the population of Karlsruhe and the resulting demand for living space rose sharply. The groundbreaking ceremony took place in 1957 and the first residents moved in in 1958. This is how today's forest town came into being. The Waldstadt can be reached with line four of the Karlsruhe city railway
With the merging of various settlement areas of the Weststadt and Mühlburg, the Nordweststadt was formed in the 1970s. Most of the residential areas were built after the Second World War and the district still has neither a prominent location nor a historical core. Life is good in the northwest city. There are numerous schools and kindergartens
The youngest district of Karlsruhe is the Nordstadt, which was only created in 1996 by merging already inhabited parts of the Weststadt and a residential area for the American armed forces. The withdrawal of military units from the “American settlement” on Erzbergerstrasse was the trigger for this. Together with the slightly older Hardtwaldsiedlung, both quarters form the new district. This is north of Moltkestrasse,
The former rural community of Neureut, with its rustic yet modern charm, is located in the north of Karlsruhe.

It is mentioned in the codex of Loch Monastery in 786 as “Cnutlinga”. Various grave finds point to a settlement in the Bronze Age. Like Daxlanden, the fortunes of Knielingen were strongly influenced by the Rhine. Tulla's correction of the Rhine from 1817 onwards resulted in the loss of areas on the left bank of the Rhine
The “Villa Daslar” is mentioned in a papal document from 1261 – today’s Daxlanden. A resettlement of the town in 1651 was unavoidable after a dam burst, as its location as a customs station on the Rhine had brought in good income since the Middle Ages. Gold was also panned in the Goldgrund until the eighteenth century. After the Rhine correction
Grünwinkel is located in the southwest of Karlsruhe, bordering Daxlanden and Mühlburg. Grünwinkel went back to “Kregen Winkel”, a 100-acre farm, which was first mentioned in a margrave interest book in 1468. In 1597, a good 100 years later, the estate was described as a “Kreenwinckel” farm and inn. In the eighteenth century the former manor was formed
To the west of the city center, near the Rhine and the Rhine port, lies Mühlburg. When the Rhine port opened in 1901, it brought Mühlburg a significant economic boom. At the same time, the city's power station was built near the harbor. In the areas of Alt Mühlburg, Weingartensiedlung, Rheinhafen and Mühlburger Feld, several extensive residential areas were created after extensive destruction in the Second World War
After Waldstadt, Oberreut was the second district to be designed in a forest location. At that time it was built in the Bulach area as a so-called satellite settlement in the southwest of the city. The renovation of Karlsruhe's old town was one of the triggers for the rapid implementation of the construction work. The first tenants moved into the inexpensive apartments in Oberreut, which were primarily intended for large children
With its 18,000 inhabitants, Weststadt is one of the most sought-after and beautiful districts of Karlsruhe. The central axis is the Kaiserallee with its streets and squares that were built in the Wilhelminian era, which give the western part of the city a very special touch. The Weststadt also offers many representative large buildings, the art academy, the general state archive, the higher regional court, the administrative court
