En un regard
Le château en bref
Schloss Gottesaue, in the Oststadt district of Karlsruhe, stands on the site of a Benedictine abbey founded in 1094 by Count Berthold of Hohenberg. Between 1588 and 1597 Margrave Ernst Friedrich of Baden-Durlach had a Renaissance pleasure palace built there to plans by the Strasbourg master builder Johannes Schoch. Damaged in 1689 during the Palatine War, it burned down to its outer walls in 1735, was turned into a granary, then used as barracks from 1818. Air raids in May 1944 destroyed it. Rebuilt from 1982 to 1989 by the architect Barbara Jakubeit, who received the Hugo Häring Prize in 1991, it preserves the ruins and leaves the new materials visible. It has housed the Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe since 1989, expanded in 2013 by the CampusOne campus.
