A church space with character
The Protestant City Church at the marketplace is one of the defining places in Karlsruhe. The city guide describes the building as a space with great impact and two significant organs that stand for the unique acoustics and musical diversity of the church. Visitors will experience a concert event that directly connects architecture, sound, and history.

More than just a concert: Day of Open Monuments in Karlsruhe
The program surrounding the City Church makes the afternoon varied: In addition to the organ concert, guided tours, an open crypt, and additional program points are planned. The Day of Open Monuments focuses nationwide on free insights, and in Karlsruhe, historical churches, sound spaces, and construction history are particularly in focus. This creates an atmosphere in which organ sound and monument preservation form a strong duo.
