Excerpt: Bruchsal (orig. Bruohselle, Bruaselle) is a city at the western edge of the Kraichgau, approximately 20 km northeast of Karlsruhe in the state of Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. It is located on Bertha Benz Memorial Route. Bruchsal is the largest city in the district of Karlsruhe and is known for being Europe's largest asparagus producer and one of the economic centers of the region of Karlsruhe. The Bruchsal area also includes the cities and towns of Bad Schonborn, Forst, Hambrucken, Karlsdorf-Neuthard, Kraichtal, Kronau, Oberhausen-Rheinhausen, Ostringen, Philippsburg, Ubstadt-Weiher and Waghausel. Until 1972 Bruchsal was the seat of the district of Bruchsal, which was merged into the district of Karlsruhe as a result of the district reform, effective January 1, 1973. Bruchsal's population passed the 20,000 mark around 1955.

In addition, Bruchsal cooperates with the neighboring communities of Forst, Hambrucken and Karlsdorf-Neuthard in administrative matters. Bruchsal is located at the edge of the Upper Rhine River Plains and the Kraichgau along the Saalbach, which is a small tributary of the Rhine that joins it between Philippsburg and Oberhausen. The following cities and towns share a border with Bruchsal. They all belong to the district of Karlsruhe and are listed clockwise, starting in the North: Forst (Baden), Ubstadt-Weiher, Kraichtal, Bretten, Gondelsheim, Walzbachtal, Weingarten (Baden), Stutensee and Karlsdorf-Neuthard. In addition the incontiguous land North of Karlsdorf-Neuthard, that is part of the City of Bruchsal, shares borders with the towns of Graben-Neudorf, Waghausel und Hambrucken. The city of Bruchsal is made up of Bruchsal proper along with the boroughs of Buchenau, Heidelsheim, Helmsheim, Obergrombach and Untergrombach. A few neighborhoods within the city limits are known by their own na
