The city council group Freie Wähler and Wählergruppe FÜR Karlsruhe (FW|FÜR Karlsruhe group) has submitted a motion to the Karlsruhe City Council calling for better signage for tourism in the city center. In cooperation with Karlsruhe Tourismus GmbH, a concept is to be developed to erect signposts on the market square and important intersections to point out the highlights of the city and to indicate the footpaths with meter markings.
As a livable and attractive city with nearly 1 million overnight visitors a year, it is important that wayfinding and experience in the city be improved. Better signage in the city center and wayfinding signs at the marketplace and major intersections are an important step in making the city more attractive to tourists.
Parliamentary group chairman Friedemann Kalmbach, city councilors Jürgen Wenzel and Petra Lorenz, and group executive Micha Schlittenhardt are committed to a livable and attractive city and are looking forward to presenting the idea to the municipal council.
