The commemorative steles remind us all of the importance of peace and that war is not a means of enforcing political goals. They are also a reminder of the rebuilding effort following the total devastation of the city, as an example of how the crisis was surmounted. The “Rassler” The workers in the Pforzheim jewellery industry, who, from the middle of the 19th century onwards, walked into town every day in groups from the neighbouring communities are symbolically portrayed in the „Rassler“ by Fritz Theilmann. The name refers to the sound of their hobnailed boots as they hastened through the cobbled streets. Bertha Benz Monument The monument recalls the pioneering feat of Bertha Benz, who, in August 1888, together with her sons Eugen and Richard undertook the first long-distance automobile trip in the world. The extremely arduous journey took them across country from Mannheim to her home town of Pforzheim. Pforzemer Seckel The figure of the “Pforzemer Seckel” by Fritz Theil- mann is meant to recall this colloquial term, which was coined in Pforzheim.

    Consulate General of India Munich ***** General and Bilateral Brief- Baden-Württemberg/ India Baden-Württemberg located in Germany’s Southwest side, lies at the very heart of Europe and shares borders with two other European countries – France, Switzerland and three German States – Rhineland Palatinate, Hesse and Bavaria. In terms of both its area and population size, Baden- Württemberg is the third biggest among the 16 German States. The state population is 11 million. It is the third largest in Germany after North-Rhine Westphalia (17.93 million) and Bavaria (13.07 million) and is larger than individual population of 15 as many as other member states of the EU.

In the West, the scenery is characterized by the Black Forest and the Rhine Plain, in the South by Lake Constance and the ridge of the Alps, in the East by the Swabian Alb hills, and in the North by the Hohenloh plain and the uplands of the Kraichgau region. Forest makes up around 40 per cent of Baden-Württemberg’s total area.

  • Online Story: Meet Your Neighbour – Young European Adults German
    Online story: Meet Your Neighbour – Young European Adults German contribution: It’s a rainy day in the south of Germany in the city of gold, Pforzheim. It's the beginning of July. As a German student you don`t know what to do in a weather like this - especially two weeks before the long summer holiday of six weeks - because usually at this time of the year the weather is quite good. Sarah has to get up early at 6am, five days a week. The 17-years-old girl eats her sausages, leaves the house at 7 am, like every morning. She is walking along the biggest river of Pforzheim, the Enz, like every morning. While she is looking at the running water, she is thinking about how to escape from her daily life into an exciting adventure. Suddenly, when she sees a poster of “The Economist” she is jerked out of her thoughts: “Oh…, my English homework, I wanted to reread my summary!” During her walk to school she takes out her homework and reads through it. It reads like this: ”The article is about the migration of workers from Romania and Bulgaria to rich countries in the EU after restrictions on the free movement of workers were lifted on January 1st 2014. Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, France and Austria are afraid of the consequences of unrestricted migration. The press and the public worry how many migrants will come. Will they take away low skill jobs? Will this create tensions? Will begging and sleeping rough shoot up, especially in big or industrial cities? Will the immigrants live off the black market, begging and petty crime? Will they be a burden on the welfare state by demanding access to social benefits? For the first time there is a mixture of anti-EU feelings and anti-immigration feelings.

    Karl Drais born 29.4.1785 in Karlsruhe, died 10.12.1851 in Karlsruhe. Short Biography Karl Drais, baptised as Karl Friedrich Christian Ludwig, Freiherr (= baron) Drais von Sauerbronn first was a forest officer employed by the grand duchy of Baden. Later he became off duty whilst retaining his salary and did start a carer as an inventor. Next to others, he did invent a device to record piano music on paper, then a stenograph using 16 characters, two four-wheeled human powered vehicles and on top of all, the two-wheeled velocipede, also called Draisine or hobby- horse, which he presented first time on June 12th 1817 in Mannheim. This was the first vehicle requiring to keep balance whilst using it as a key principle. It was equipped decades later by Pierre Michaux with pedals to become the modern bicycle and further down the road, the automobile invented by Carl Benz. For his inventions, Grand Duke Carl awarded Drais a pension and appointed him as a professor for mechanic science. His experiments with small rail-road bound vehicles did contribute to the railroad handcar, having even today the German name Draisine. Drais was a fervent democrat, supported the wave of revolutions that swept Europe in 1848, dropping his title and the aristocratic "von" from his name in 1849. After the revolution in Baden had collapsed, Drais became mobbed and ruined by royalists. After his death, Drais's enemies systematically repudiate his invention of horseless moving on two wheels.
