History
editThe wiki was founded by the former pupil Hauke Löffler on 22 July 2004. Its first version was running PmWiki; later the wiki was migrated to MediaWiki.
It is hosted by the voluntary association "Bildungsverein Region Karlsruhe e.V." (e.V. = Eingetragener Verein).
Content
editStadtwiki Karlsruhe contains information on all topics that are related to Karlsruhe and the surrounding region. It provides detailed information and links on geography, nature, history, politics, religion, education, culture, social affairs, sports, business and transport.
The wiki also provides information on the subject of tourism and leisure destinations, gastronomy guide, clubs and venues, and acts specifically as an event calendar. The only relevance criterion is a relation with Karlsruhe.
In October 2008 Stadtwiki Karlsruhe was expanded by an English and a French edition, in September 2009 by a Russian edition. These foreign-language editions of the wiki, however, have been discontinued in the years 2018–2021.
As of September 2023, Stadtwiki Karlsruhe contains over 26,000 articles and 34,000 pictures by over 8,000 authors.[3]
