Karlsruhe - the fan city: We cannot boast the Leaning Tower of Pisa but what we have is - a pyramid. Our landmark is the tomb of the founder of our city, situated right in the centre on the market place. The city founder had the vision of a star and that's how the fan-shaped ground plan, which is unique in the world, emerged. Each of these fan streets provides a view of our castle.
