Architecture in Buehl
The town hall, which supports the tower of the former church, is located on the market square. It is the symbol of the city. Right next door is the Catholic St. Peter and Paul Church.
For the 50th anniversary of the reign of Grand Duke Friedrich, the brothers Adolf and Carl Leopold Netter donated the Grand Duke Friedrich Jubilee Tower, also known as the Carl Netter Observation Tower, in 1902.
Exactly 50 years later, in 1952, the Bühler Peace Cross was erected as a sign of reconciliation between Germany and France. It can be seen on the hill between the city center and Ottersweier. Its proximity to the French border alone suggests that Brühl has played a major role in history.
In the same year that the Carl Netter lookout tower was donated, the municipality founded the Stadtgarten. At its fountain you can always admire the bronze bust of Grand Duke Friedrich.
