The south-west of Karlsruhe is a district that lies between Kriegsstrasse , the main train station , the Stadtgarten and the Beiertheimer Feld.
The area of today's southwest town used to belong to Beiertheim . It was only when industry settled in the south-west of the city and the area began to be developed in 1860 that the district began to take shape. In 1895 the citizens' association Südweststadt was founded to represent the interests of the residents. During the First World War, the Karlsruhe industrial works (arms and ammunition factory) also settled in the area of the south-west town, the building of which is now used by the Center for Art and Media Technology , among others . Since the south-west town was initially designated as an industrial area and many industrial companies had settled, the nickname of the south-west townspeople is still "factory workers" today.
Most of the buildings in Südweststadt were built between 1900 and 1930, such as the castle hotel .
Today the center for art and media technology (ZKM), the Günther-Klotz-Anlage (park) and at the eastern end of the city garden are located in the south-west of the city . The St. Vincentius Clinics and the Europahalle are also located in the south-west of the city.
