Ettlingen

Beautiful small town

Ettlingen townhall
Ettlingen is just south of Karlsruhe.
It is surrounded by old walls and ditches and presents a medieval and picturesque appearance.
Among the highlights are an old palace, a Protestant and two Roman Catholic churches
and the buildings of a former monastery. There are also quite a few Roman remains.

The first notice of Ettlingen dates from the 8th century.
It became a town in 1227 and was presented
by the emperor Frederick II. to the margrave of Baden.

Nowadays Ettlingen is just a small city. Not much going on there, just nice and quiet! I work here and if I have a chance I like to show people around a little!
Ettlingen Glühwein meeting

In December 2006 we had the International Glühwein VT meeting in Karlsruhe, and since we had quite a few international guests staying for the weekend we decided to go to the Christkindlesmarkt in Ettlingen the next day. This was a lot of fun - but you better read about fake palaces and hot love on other people's pages.....
