It is the largest continuous ceramic artwork in Germany and the history of the GENESIS cycle by the prince of painting Markus Lüpertz in the Karlsruhe light rail tunnel was already spectacular. The new underground 365-day gallery in Karlsruhe is special for several reasons: the lighthouse project was realized entirely without public funding thanks to generous donations and sponsorship. It was financed through the enthusiasm of companies and private sponsors by the initiator Anton Goll, who had the idea for the art project and supervised the unique art project for seven years up to the opening. This enabled the work to be literally put on the rails - the Karlsruhe "subway" as the carrier of a top-class total work of art. A creative journey from DARKNESS into LIGHT. Get to know our cultural mile with 14 individual highlights at seven stations. Learn interesting facts about the masterful work of all those involved in the production and installation of the largest continuous ceramic work of art in Germany and discover the creative creation of the Genesis cycle. Our guided tour will give you an insight into the artistic interpretation of Markus Lüpertz, but there is still plenty of exciting scope for interpretation for the viewer.

The city has always been a bit more liberal than most in Germany, allowing art and culture to flourish and creating an atmosphere of vitality. Branching out of Karlsruhe's grand palace, this city has no old quarter, and that leaves guests usually puzzled. Karlsruhe is a young city, having been founded in 1715, and therefore lacking in a medieval urban structure so seen in most German cities. This city is the product of the mind of Baden's Margrave Karl-Wilhelm, with the palace at its centre and 32 streets radiating outwards. This made it an open city, without walls and therefore tolerant and liberal from the get-go. Even the location of the city centre in a former munitions factory can be seen as a symbol of the ever-changing rhythm of time.
