Is there a night train or bus Saturday/Sunday from Rutesheim to Flughafen Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden?
I'm travelling from Rutesheim to the Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden Airport, and I need to arrive ideally by 8am on a Sunday morning for a 10am flight.
Is there any way I can do this by travelling through the Saturday night? I can't leave earlier than midnight, 12am. (Possibly 11pm but that would be pushing it!)
In the UK there are buses where you can travel through the night, but I can't find anything similar here. I've tried DB, Flexibus etc and can't find anything...

As Jörg and Sebastian already pointed out, the railway line between Rastatt (2nd closest station to FKB airport) and Baden-Baden (closest station) is disrupted until further notice, at least until 7 Oct 2017. There's a rail replacement bus service if you need to get to Baden-Baden. The journey planner at www.bahn.de takes this into account.
If you go by train during the disruption, you might prefer taking a taxi from Rastatt rail station to the airport (about 40 EUR). This would save you some time and another interchange.
If you continue to Baden-Baden rail station, you're closer to the airport and the taxi fare will be lower (about 30 EUR, prices are estimates by www.taxi-rechner.de). You might want to pre-book a taxi with one of the companies mentioned on the airport website and agree on a fixed price.
Of course, considering the taxi fares, it could be worth looking for a different flight from Stuttgart ...

Answer 2
A solution using public transport seems really a serious problem at this time of day and with the circumstances described by DCTLib.
That's why I'd recommend a one-way car rental. Using a bigger car rental company like Europcar you could rent a car the day before in Stuttgart (airport for example) and return it at FKB. This should be around 90-100 Euros. You could park it overnight in Rutesheim and then just continue easily in the morning. Should be hassle-free.
