Weiherfeld-Dammerstock

Weiherfeld-Dammerstock is a southern borough of Karlsruhe.

In the north it is bordered by the Südtangente and in the east by Ettlinger Straße.

The two districts of Weiherfeld and Dammerstock are separated by the Alb and are only connected by a road bridge and two pedestrian bridges.

Weiherfeld was first mentioned in 1540 as "waldt der weyr gen" and belonged to Rüppurr until 1800 and then to Beiertheim.

[1] Dammerstock was built in just seven months according to the plans of Walter Gropius and was inaugurated on September 29, 1929.
