About Rintheim
Where to stay in Rintheim
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
The Technologiepark Karlsruhe is the reason most people book here. Its internet and high-tech firms sit inside Rintheim, which gives the district its one clear reason for an overnight stay, bounded as it is by Hagsfeld to the north, Oststadt to the west and the Autobahn 5 down the eastern side. Two churches and a memorial complete it.
It suits you if a working address with fast road access beats a room nearer the middle of Karlsruhe.
About Rintheim
What are the main landmarks in Rintheim?
Three entries carry Rintheim, and two are churches. The Evangelische Kirche Zum Guten Hirten is one, the other being St. Martin. Beside them stands the Denkmal für sowjetische Opfer des Faschismus in Karlsruhe, a memorial to Soviet victims of fascism, which is the district's one commemorative entry rather than a building in use.
The Technologiepark Karlsruhe answers it. Internet and high-tech companies work out of that park inside Rintheim, giving the district a second face that the heritage list does not record at all.
What is the history of Rintheim?
Karlsruhe's records give Rintheim no start date. What Rintheim keeps of its past sits in two churches and one monument: the Evangelische Kirche Zum Guten Hirten and St. Martin stand for the parish, and the Denkmal für sowjetische Opfer des Faschismus in Karlsruhe records the Soviet victims of fascism. The rest is newer ground.
Technology firms took hold on the side towards the Autobahn 5, so the district reads in two layers, the streets between Oststadt and Hagsfeld and the Technologiepark Karlsruhe beyond them.
Where is Rintheim?
Rintheim lies between Hagsfeld in the north and Oststadt in the west, with the Autobahn 5 closing it off to the east.
