Tradition and modernity – this is the tension between which the numerous exhibition partners from all over Baden-Württemberg operate with their products, art, and fashion. There are also numerous hands-on activities and ongoing events.
Following its success two years ago, the Black Forest is returning to Karlsruhe. Under the motto "Hier rauscht's für mich" (It's rustling for me here), innovative products from and for the Black Forest will be on display.
These combine regional craftsmanship and contemporary design, capturing the essence of the Black Forest and translating it into new forms and functions. Whether it's cone-shaped lamps, the Black Forest Marie as a Playmobil figure, jewelry in the shape of a Bollenhut hat, or visual and culinary delights—let yourself be invited to experience the Black Forest in a whole new way. Many products can be purchased directly.
Opening on March 19, 202626 at 6 p.m. – the Elzach Traditional Costume Group will be dancing and there will be a surprise.Please register at ausstellungen@rpk.bwl.de.
