3 Heidelberg - City of Romanticism and Sciences Heidelberg, once the capital of the Palatinate and spiritual centre of Calvinism, lies in the lovely Neckar valley and is distinguished by its particularly mild climate. Over the years, Heidelberg s beauty has drawn a number of poets, painters and scientists. In the early 9th century, the city on the Neckar became the most important centre of German Late Romanticism. Inextricably linked with this epoch are the poets Arnim, Brentano, Goethe and Eichendorff. The Ruprecht-Karls University Heidelberg is the oldest university in Germany. In the QS World University Rankings 20/202 the University of Heidelberg was rated the best German university. In June 202 the university s elite status was endorsed through the Excellence Initiative of Federal and Regional State Governments. Many monuments bear witness to the Neckar city s diverse history. Sitting approximately 70 metres above the river Neckar, the city s landmark, the elector s castle, rises from the slope of Königstuhl, on its very own mountain. Its ruins are among one of the most impressive sights to behold on any tour of Germany. Visitors climbing up to the castle first pass through the gate into the famous Hortus Palatinus garden, created at the beginning of the 7th century. From the castle garden, there is a wonderful view of Heidelberg, including the Philosopher s Walk, which lies on the opposite bank of the Neckar. Fascinating buildings that date back to a variety of epochs surround the inner courtyard. Situated in the Royal Wine Cellar is the world s largest barrel, which was once filled with wine. It rarely failed to impress - except in the case of Perkeo, the barrel s gnome-like guard. Once, when asked if he could drink the barrel dry, his answer was a nonchalant Perché no - why not? - which is how he came to earn his name. A walk round the Old Town reveals outstanding ornamental facades and portals. The heart of the Old Town is the market place, with the church of the Holy Ghost and the grand renaissance house Zum Ritter. Leading away from the church of the Holy Ghost are many old alleyways lined with pubs and restaurants. Spanning the Neckar is the Old Bridge, one of the most beautiful stone bridges in Germany. The wooded hills around Heidelberg cloak the city in a handsome green. The surrounding area, which includes the Neckar valley castles, the German wine route, ancient cultivated landscape along the Upper Rhine and the Odenwald mountains, offers a wealth of experiences waiting to be enjoyed. Proximity to Frankfurt and Stuttgart airports - just 80 and 30 km away respectively - means Heidelberg is easily accessible to its guests from all over the world. The name Heidelberg also stands for a modern and worldclass location for science and business. Thus, the traditionsteeped university, the Academy of Sciences, the German Cancer Research Centre (DKFZ), five Max Planck institutes, the European Laboratory for Molecular Biology (EMBL), the Print Media Academy of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen, the SAS Institute and several research centres belonging to international companies are all located in Heidelberg. Such a concentration of the sciences is unparalleled in Germany and forms the basis for a dynamic, science-orientated economy that elevates Heidelberg - despite a population of just 45,000 - to its position as one of Germany s leading economic centres. Heidelberg is also one of Germany s leading cultural centres, as demonstrated by the wealth of museums and theatres. Together with the neighbouring cities in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan area (Mannheim, Ludwigshafen, Speyer, Schwetzingen, Worms, to name the most important), Heidelberg offers a large variety of cultural events of national significance: Heidelberg Theatre Festival Heidelberg Literature Festival Heidelberg Spring Festival Heidelberg Stückemarkt Theatre and Drama Festival Festival of German Film Mannheim Summer Mozart Festival Heidelberg Castle Festival Schwetzingen Castle Festival Niebelungen Festival International Schiller Festival International Street Theatre Festival Ludwigshafen Photography Festival Mannheim Ludwigshafen Heidelberg Enjoy Jazz, International Festival for Jazz and more International Film Festival Mannheim-Heidelberg Ludwigshafen Festival 4 5
