RE1 for speed, S5 for comfort
The RE1 gets you from Pforzheim main station to Durlach in 16 minutes. Durlach is the eastern gateway into Karlsruhe, and from there tram line 1 or the S5 needs 6 minutes to Gottesauer Platz/BGV. With the walking, that is about 34 minutes.
You can also go without changing, only more slowly: the S5 runs straight through in about 51 minutes to Gottesauer Platz/BGV.
Who the trip is for
Pforzheim has laundromats of its own, and nobody travels to the Oststadt for a routine wash. It becomes worthwhile for commuters and students with business in Karlsruhe, and for anyone washing a rug with a flexible backing, a sleeping bag or a duvet in the XXL washer (18 kg). There are also 4 dryers (20 kg). We are open until 11 pm, closed only on Sundays and public holidays.
By car
28.1 km from Pforzheim main station, around 24 minutes without traffic. With duvets and several bags the car is the simpler option, and there is public parking right outside.
