Rintheim is a district of Karlsruhe. It is located between Hagsfeld in the north, Oststadt in the west and the Autobahn 5 in the east.
The Technologiepark Karlsruhe is located in Rintheim, a center for internet and high-tech companies.[1]
Rintheim was first mentioned in a document on August 15, 1110, as "Rintdan". In 1275 the place became the property of the Gottesaue monastery, and after 1451 it was administered by Durlach. In 1749 a town hall was set up in Rintheim and in 1770 a school, which moved to a new school building in 1827.[2]
The Protestant church was opened on November 5, 1871, after a year of construction. Previously, the predominantly Protestant population had to attend church services in neighboring Hagsfeld.
On January 1, 1907, Rintheim was incorporated into Karlsruhe.
