history

January 7, 1813
Circular to the Karlsruhe trading stand, signed by 37 Karlsruhe merchants, on the establishment of a trading room: “In order to partly meet the diverse wishes of several local merchants and partly to give the members of the trade the opportunity to see what is going on in the At the present time it is so necessary to see more often and to be able to discuss commercial matters undisturbed, several of them have decided to rent a room for a joint account so that they can come together every evening or as their business allows. " The merchants rent in the corner building on Karlsruhe's market square , today's Schöpf fashion house.

February 15, 1813
The IHK Karlsruhe is founded by Karlsruhe merchants as a trading office, which in 1826 became the Chamber of Commerce.

September 25, 1863

The IHK district between 1879 and 1945 (Manuel Brödner, Verlag Regionalkultur)

From the members of the trading room, a new trading cooperative of the grand ducal residence city of Karlsruhe was founded, in which "every local or foreign owner or partner in a business" could voluntarily become a member. The condition was that his company was entered in the public commercial register and that he was willing to pay an annual fee for at least four years.

December 11, 1878
The Baden Chamber of Commerce Act (based on the Prussian one of 1870) ends the "wild growth" of various kinds of trade associations in Baden, which, due to voluntary memberships, were only able to represent the general interest to a limited extent.

It regulates that all companies entered in the commercial register automatically become members of the respective chamber of commerce. For the first time, a territorial demarcation was also made: the districts of Bretten, Bruchsal, Durlach and Ettlingen were added to Karlsruhe, and in 1889 the district was expanded to include Baden-Baden, Rastatt, Bühl and Achern.

February 20, 1920

After various intermediate stops, the Chamber of Commerce moves into the representative palace of Prince Max von Baden at Karlstrasse 10, now the City Museum. The palace was decidedly too big for its own use, so that there was enough space to accommodate other associations in the building.

July 1, 1933

With the law amending the Chamber of Commerce law, a central Baden Chamber of Commerce and Industry is created with its seat in Karlsruhe. As early as 1935, however, this central administration was divided into four chambers (Freiburg, Karlsruhe, Mannheim and Pforzheim). A Gauwirtschaftskammer Oberrhein for Baden and Alsace, which was still in place in 1942, was dissolved in 1945.

from July 1945

Reorganization of the Karlsruhe Chamber of Commerce: The chamber area is divided into a Karlsruhe Chamber of Commerce and a Baden-Baden Chamber of Commerce according to the occupation zones. November 10, 1955

Official handover of the new chamber building on Friedrichsplatz. A new building became necessary after the Prinz-Max-Palais burned down during the war and the Chamber of Commerce made the restored building available to the Federal Constitutional Court as a temporary office.

May 9, 1973

Constituent meeting of the Middle Upper Rhine Chamber of Commerce and Industry, merged from the Chambers of Commerce in Karlsruhe and Baden-Baden, with headquarters in Karlsruhe and a main office in Baden-Baden. The official name was changed in 1987 in the Karlsruhe Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

October 22, 1999

Inauguration of the extension along the Erbprinzenstrasse. The new building was planned to complement the chamber building on Friedrichsplatz. The "House of Business" includes seminar and conference rooms, as well as shops and office space for rent. With the new building, the completely redesigned entrance area and the service center for member companies were also opened.
