Cities and villages in the region<br />

The settlement structure of the Rhine-<strong>Neckar</strong> Metropolitan Region is the<br />

result of an eventful history of principalities and kingdoms, partly manifested<br />

in time by the names of today's Federal states. Crucial epochs are<br />

therefore seen mirrored in current townscapes. Many cities and villages are<br />

for example medieval establishments of religious origin.<br />

Today well restored town centres and nearby castles and forts host<br />

numerous Middle Age markets, Festivals, Openair-Events and a lot of<br />

wine festivals during the summer months. The large cities of the region<br />

bloomed during different epochs: Heidelberg in the Romantic era,<br />

Mannheim in the Baroque and Ludwigshafen in the Industrial age, hence<br />

the cities display a unique character, providing variety.<br />

The well-developed infrastructure links the cities and surrounding villages:<br />

travel time to and from the country to the city is short. The train from<br />

Mannheim to Heidelberg takes only a quarter of an hour and only a little<br />

longer to the surrounding local recreational areas.<br />
