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.

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 first tenants moved into the inexpensive apartments in Oberreut, which were primarily intended for large children
