About
About Pforzheim
Pforzheim is a city of over 135,000 inhabitants in the federal state of Baden-Württemberg, in the southwest of Germany.
Pforzheim's modern appearance is defined by the air raid of 23 February 1945, which destroyed about 80% of the city in less than 20 minutes. Consequently, the historic centre was almost entirely replaced by the pragmatic, functional architecture of the 1950s. While it lacks the traditional "half-timbered" romanticism found in nearby towns, the city offers a unique look at post-war urban planning, interspersed with extensive green areas along its river valleys. The city's identity remains deeply rooted in precious metals.
