The administrative district of Karlsruhe is one of four administrative districts in the German state of Baden-Württemberg .

The head of the regional council is the regional president , who is appointed as a political official by the prime minister .
geography
The administrative district of Karlsruhe is located in the northwest of Baden-Württemberg. In the south it borders on the administrative district of Freiburg , in the west on Rhineland-Palatinate and Alsace , in the north on Hesse and Bavaria and in the east on the administrative districts of Stuttgart and Tübingen . Its current expansion goes back to the administrative and territorial reform on January 1, 1973 .
history
The administrative district was formed under the name Administrative District North Baden with the formation of the south-western state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952. Since then, the regional council has been mainly responsible for the northern part of the former state of Baden and the Baden part of the state of Württemberg-Baden , which emerged from the American occupation zone after the Second World War .
During the regional reform, which came into force on January 1, 1973, the area of responsibility of the regional council was expanded to include former Württemberg (and Central Baden) areas in the east and south. In return, areas in the northeast were transferred to the responsibility of the Stuttgart Regional Council. Therefore, the administrative district of North Baden was simultaneously renamed the administrative district of Karlsruhe .
