Karlsruhe is a relatively young city. It was founded around the castle of Count Karl Wilhelm of Baden-Durlach in 1715-1718. The arms were granted to the young city in 1718. The main division of the field is the arms of [[Baden (State)|Baden]] in opposite colours. The word Fidelitas is the Latin word for the Order of 'Der Treue', which was founded by Count Karl Wilhelm. During the18th and 19<sup>th</sup> century often the colours were identical to the arms of Baden. Not until 1895 the original colours were restored and the word Fidelitas was placed between two small black lines. | Karlsruhe is a relatively young city.
