history

Rüppurr was first mentioned on February 9, 1103 in a document from the Hördt monastery under the name Rietburi. Knight Herrmann von Spiegelberg left the monastery he founded as well as his fields in u. a. Rüppurr and Knielingen (Knodilingen) the diocese of Speyer.

Rüppurr is a Baden village that was built on the gravel deposits of the Kinzig-Murg river . A street village was built between the moated castle (stonemason's mark on the Red House ( Meierei )) and a village center further south . In addition to agriculture, natural ice production was important for the Karlsruhe breweries.

Rüppurr is the ancestral seat of the noble family of the Rüppurr peacocks , who also resided here until 1584. The Worms Prince-Bishop Reinhard von Rüppurr (1458–1533) came from here and returned in 1525 as Emeritus. His heart is buried in the Rüppurrer St. Nicholas Church, where there is a corresponding epitaph.

In 1907 Rüppurr was incorporated into Karlsruhe. In the same year Hans Kampffmeyer , Friedrich Ostendorf , Friedrich Ettlinger and others founded the Gartenstadt Karlsruhe cooperative . From 1911 the first houses were built near today's Ostendorfplatz; Architects like Max Laeuger worked on the planning.

From 1931 the Protestant Diakonissenanstalt built the Diakonissenkrankenhaus Rüppurr , today a central care hospital with 464 beds, 60 places for geriatric rehabilitation and 1350 employees.

Around 1960 there was a structural change from the village to a suburban residential area, with Alt-Rüppurr still maintaining its village character. Today Rüppurr is considered to be an upscale residential area in Karlsruhe, especially the fairy tale district (so called after the street names).

The high-rise buildings of the Rüppurr residential building and the striking Rüppurrer Schloss residential complex on the northern edge of the district have Rüppurr in their name, but are already in the Weiherfeld-Dammerstock district .

In the Rüppurr cemetery there are some well-known personalities who have worked in Karlsruhe and beyond.
