Laundromat for KIT students: washing near Campus Süd

From the Durlacher Tor/KIT-Campus Süd stop you walk about 480 metres to Ludwig-Wilhelm-Straße 20. The Gottesauer Platz/BGV stop is only about 230 metres away, served by the S2, S4, S5, S51, S7, S8 and tram line 1. From the market square it takes four minutes by S2, S5 or tram line 1 to Gottesauer Platz/BGV plus a short walk. If you have just arrived in Karlsruhe for a semester abroad, our how-it-works guide takes you through the first visit in English.

The Discount card can be shared in a flatshare: one person gets the card from the payment machine (€5 deposit, minimum use 3 months, deposit refunded on return), tops it up and everybody washes with it. Topping up €50 gives you €62.50 of credit. A load of 8 kg then costs from €3.80, and 20 minutes of drying from €2.20.

Everybody washes two loads a month, so eight loads in total, each with 20 minutes of dryer: €64.00 at the regular price, €48.00 with the Discount card. One top-up of €50 is enough, which makes €12.00 per person a month instead of €16.00.

Whether you stay is up to you: with the free Wi-Fi you can read lecture notes while the laundry runs. Washing takes about 35 minutes and drying usually 20 to 40. Come back as soon as the machine has finished.

We are open until 11 pm, so you can still get your laundry done after a lecture, a lab session or a part-time job. On Sundays and public holidays we are closed.
