The Karlsruhe District is a special area in the northwest of Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It's known as a Landkreis, which means a rural district. Think of it like a county in other countries. It's a place where many towns and villages work together.

This district is next to several other districts. These include Rhein-Neckar, Heilbronn, Enz, Calw, Rastatt, Germersheim, and Rhein-Pfalz-Kreis. It also borders the city of Speyer. The city of Karlsruhe itself is a separate urban district (called a Stadtkreis), even though it's surrounded by the Karlsruhe District.
