Karlsruhe, Germany
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Karlsruhe is a city in the south west of Germany, in the Bundesland Baden-Württemberg, located near the French-German border.
Founded in 1715 as Karlsruhe Palace, the surrounding town became the seat of two of the highest courts in Germany, the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany (Bundesverfassungsgericht) whose decisions have the force of a law, and the Federal Court of Justice of Germany (Bundesgerichtshof) , the highest court of appeals in matters of civil law and criminal law. It therefore considers itself the home of justice in Germany, a role taken over from Leipzig after 1933.
The city was planned with the tower of the palace (Schloss) at the center and 32 streets radiating out from it like spokes on a wheel, or ribs on a folding fan, so that a nickname for Karlsruhe in German is the fan city (Fächerstadt). Almost all of these streets survive today.
Karlsruhe's rail system, the Stadtbahn Karlsruhe, is well known in transport circles around the world for pioneering the concept of operating trams on train tracks (tram-trains), to achieve a more effective and attractive public transport system. This concept makes it possible to reach other towns in the region, like Ettlingen, Wörth am Rhein, Pforzheim, Bad Wildbad, Bretten, Bruchsal, Heilbronn, Baden-Baden and even Freudenstadt in the Black Forest right from the city centre.

Scharnausen (Ostfildern), Germany - Returning Home after 57 years away (Part 2 of 2)
(please scroll below my description here to get info / credit on the song playing at the 1st half of this video)
In this video, which is part 2 of 2 videos, we explore the area of Gasthaus Krone, on Nellinger Strasse near the river Körsch. My brother, Dieter, was born in Gasthaus Krone - it was a home delivery, with the help of a midwife. This took place in 1953.
In the earlier video - part 1 of 2 videos, I disclosed that I was 6 years old when we moved to Scharnhausen in 1953 and began school here - I explore the town center & the local church, etc. Here is a direct link to that video so that you don't have to search for it:
A great big thanks / credit for the song that you hear at the very beginning until about the 3:10 point.
