EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, hailing from the early 1910s, showcases the unique urban planning of Karlsruhe, Germany, affectionately known as "Fan City" or "Facherstadt" due to its distinctive design. At the heart of the city lies the magnificent Schloss palace, its towering structure crowned with an elegant spire. Radiating out from the palace, 32 streets fan out in a perfect geometric pattern, creating an aerial view reminiscent of an open fan. The urban planning of Karlsruhe, initiated in 1715 by Margrave Carl Wilhelm, aimed to create a city that embodied order, symmetry, and efficiency. The city's design was inspired by the sun's rays and the belief that a central authority should be at the center of all power structures. This innovative urban planning concept was revolutionary for its time and has since become a significant part of Karlsruhe's rich history and cultural identity. The photograph captures the essence of this urban masterpiece, with its well-preserved buildings lining the streets, their facades adorned with intricate details and architectural features. The streets, bustling with activity, are a testament to the city's vibrant energy and enduring charm. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the timeless beauty and unique character of Karlsruhe, Germany.
