Karlsruhe motorway maintenance authority
The motorway maintenance facility in Karlsruhe - Durlach (Alte Karlsruher Straße 40) was established in 1934 as a facility for maintaining and building the motorways in Baden . It is Paul Schmitthenner's only larger building that was built during the Nazi regime. Schmitthenner got involved in this building because he expected follow-up orders from the National Socialists, which however did not materialize.
