 Established in 1924, the Scheffel Association is the largest literary society in Germany.Today the "Prinz-Max-Palais", built between 1881 and 1884 in neoclassical style, houses the organisation and includes its museum.Due to population growth in the late 19th century, Karlsruhe developed several suburban areas ("Vorstadt") in the "Gründerzeit" and especially art nouveau styles of architecture, with many preserved examples.
