With almost 30,000 inhabitants, Durlach is the largest district of Karlsruhe and is often referred to as the "mother" of Karlsruhe. This is because Durlach was the residence of the Margraves of Baden-Durlach. However, in 1715, Karl Wilhelm moved his court to Karlsruhe. Durlach remained an independent town. It was not incorporated into Karlsruhe until 1938.
