Legal theme day

Karlsruhe is the "residence of law"; the Federal Constitutional Court and the Federal Court of Justice are the central organs of the German constitutional state. This is where fundamental rulings are made that shape life in Germany. In addition, the German Basic Law is celebrating its 75th birthday this year. That's why this theme day is called "Let's talk about law". The showcase will feature:
Stiftung Forum Recht: information stand with interactive legal quiz, free 2-hour city tour "Recht stadtlich!" at 3 p.m. (start and end: Schaufenster Karlsruhe) followed by a quiz round

Inclusive dance event

Disco feeling in an unusual location: this has already happened at Schaufenster Karlsruhe 2023. Back then, participants with and without wheelchairs raved about the accessibility and atmosphere of this rather unusual location for a disco. People with and without disabilities danced together and had fun.

At the beginning, there will be a short panel discussion with Ms. Wernert, the municipal representative for the disabled of the city of Karlsruhe, Annika Gehrmeyer from the REHAB trade fair and Mr. Budnik, Chairman of the Advisory Board of People with Disabilities.

Then it's off to the dance floor! The evening will be hosted by initiator Tom Kessel.
