Laundromat for Karlsruhe city centre and KIT Campus South
It takes about 10 minutes to get from Marktplatz to our laundromat at Ludwig-Wilhelm-Straße 20: S2, S5 or tram line 1 to Gottesauer Platz/BGV, then roughly 6 minutes on foot. By car it is 1.8 km.
All times are measured from the stop named to our front door (KVV timetable, weekday, 11 Nov 2026); car times from a route planner without traffic. When the timetable changes in December, take a quick look at the KVV journey planner.
Across the city centre, heading east
If you live or work around Marktplatz, you have the shortest trip of anyone in central Karlsruhe: a short walk to the stop, four minutes on the train, and you get off at Gottesauer Platz/BGV. From there our door is 230 metres away, an easy stroll with a laundry bag over your shoulder.
Arriving at Karlsruhe main station (Hauptbahnhof)? Take tram line 3 for 10 minutes to Karl-Wilhelm-Platz and walk the last 5 minutes. That makes 15 minutes in total.
Students at KIT Campus South
The stop Durlacher Tor/KIT-Campus Süd is about 480 metres away. That is too far to squeeze a load in between two lectures, but perfect after your last class: put the laundry in, open your laptop and use the free Wi-Fi. International students will find more in our guide for KIT students.
Small flat, big laundry
Older flats in this part of town rarely have room for a washer and a dryer. We have 7 washers (8 kg), 1 XXL washer (18 kg) and 4 dryers (20 kg), 12 machines in all, so a full laundry day is done in about an hour. Pay with cash, any common credit or debit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or the discount card. Public parking is right outside, with a Rewe supermarket opposite and cafés, bars and student cafés next door.
What a laundry day costs
- Washing 8 kg €5.00, XXL 18 kg €13.50, drying €1.50 per 10 minutes
- With the discount card from €3.80, from €10.20 and from €1.10
- Detergent €0.70 from the machine; bringing your own is allowed
