Karlsruhe - Karlsruhe (English spelling)

A city in the state of Baden-Württemberg in southwestern Germany. Population 278,600 (2000). Located on the alluvial plain on the right bank of the Rhine, the city is bordered by vast forests to the north and south. The city center, which is considered a typical example of a planned city during the absolute monarchy period, dates back to 1715 when Margrave of Baden Karl Wilhelm (reigned 1709-38) built a hunting lodge. Roads radiate in 32 directions from the lodge, which has a vast garden behind it, and the city area is located in front of the lodge. In addition to the Federal Supreme Court and the Constitutional Court, the city is home to federal research institutes for river engineering and food, various state agencies, a university, a music college, and other educational institutions. In addition, various industries, mainly oil refineries, are located around the Rhine port in the west, and the federal government's nuclear research center is located in the forested area in the north.

ドイツ西南部、バーデン・ウュルテンベルク州の都市。人口27万8600(2000)。ライン川右岸の沖積地に位置し、市域の南北には広大な森林地帯がある。絶対王制期の計画的都市の代表例にあげられる市街は、1715年バーデン辺境伯カール・ウィルヘルム(在位1709~38)が狩猟用の館(やかた)を建設したことに起源をもつ。背後に広大な庭園をもつ館を中心に、32方向に放射状の道路がつくられ、市街地は館の前面に配置された。連邦最高裁判所、同憲法裁判所のほか、河川工学・食品などの連邦研究機関、各種州機関、総合大学、音楽大学など教育機関が立地する。また、西部のライン河港には石油精製を中心に各種工業が立地し、北部の森林地帯には連邦政府の原子力研究センターもある。
