Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen: Museums, Exhibitions & Discounts

Eggenstein-Leopoldshafen is a municipality located in the district of Karlsruhe in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. The town lies along the Rhine River, approximately 10 kilometers north of Karlsruhe.

The community was formed in 1975 through the merger of the previously independent municipalities of Eggenstein and Leopoldshafen. The town is notable for hosting part of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) Campus North, which was formerly the Karlsruhe Research Center. This research facility has played a significant role in the town's development and continues to be an important center for scientific research.

The area maintains a mix of modern research facilities while preserving its historical character, with traditional architecture and local customs still evident in the old town centers of both former villages.
