Karl-Friedrich-Street

General Information:

This street is named after the Margrave Karl Friedrich of Baden who granted the rights for this district in 1757. The residents of this district also received substantial privileges from him. In return, they agreed to build their homes according to a specified model. Both houses with the joint driveway, on the opposite streetside, illustrate the key characteristics of the model house:

Two stories, a roofline with eaves, a gated entrance, a wall to enclose the property, windows, window ledges and arches in an unified style. A glimpse through the driveway entrance shows how deep each property is, reaching from the street to the Mühl Stream. This was intentionally planned to allow for barns, stalls, workshops and gardens.

The Karl Friedrich Street leads to the once independent Lower Emmendinger town which joined the city of Emmendingen in 1883.
