Beiertheim-Bulach is a district of Karlsruhe that lies between Ebertstrasse, the Scheibenhardt estate , Oberreut and Weiherfeld-Dammerstock. It consists of the formerly independent districts of Beiertheim and Bulach , which are separated by the Alb .

Beiertheim was first mentioned in a document in 1110 as "Burdam" or "Burtan". The name probably comes from "Bur" = hut and "tan" = hiding place or forest and was a hiding place for farmers and shepherds. Another theory is that the name is derived from “Buar”, which means “cattle place”. The place was founded by the Count of Hohenberg. Bulach was first mentioned as a mill in a document dated May 18, 1193 as "Bulande". The name is derived either from "Bu" = beech and "lach" = moist, swampy ground or from "bu" = cow and "loc" = place. Already in the Middle Ages both villages had a common court and a common mayor .

In the 19th century, a laundry industry developed in the village that lasted until after the Second World War. The village was financially well equipped, as it kept selling land to the expanding city of Karlsruhe . The community used to be a lot bigger.

Beiertheim was incorporated into Karlsruhe on January 1, 1907, Bulach followed on April 1, 1929.

Today there are u. a. the Stephanienbad (today Paul-Gerhardt-Kirche), the Hofgut Scheibenhardt , as well as the catholic churches St. Cyriakus and St. Michael with the Beiertheimer altar by Hans Wydyz .
