Forst (German pronunciation: [fɔʁst] ⓘ) is a municipality in the district of Karlsruhe in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
It is located on Bertha Benz Memorial Route 2 km north of Bruchsal and shares a direct border with that city.
On March 31, 1988, a US Air Force F-16C jet fighter crashed into the town during a low-altitude exercise.
After striking the roof of a house and badly damaging another, the aircraft slid down along the length of Forster Hardtstrasse, setting several houses on fire.
The pilot, 24-year old Lt. Thomas Edward Doyle, and a resident, 62-year old Theo Huber, were killed.
