About Neuenheim
Where to stay in Neuenheim
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
Neuenheim reads as museum ground. The entry for the district gathers the Kurpfälzisches Museum, the Sammlung Prinzhorn and the Heidelberger Kunstverein among more than twenty named points, which puts a guest here within reach of most of what Heidelberg keeps for visitors. Rooms are residential.
You would take one for a quiet street and a short run to the Church of the Holy Spirit and the Jesuitenkirche, rather than for a hotel row of its own.
About Neuenheim
What are the main landmarks in Neuenheim?
More than twenty entries stand against Neuenheim, and the list reaches across Heidelberg rather than staying inside one district's streets, holding museums and churches alongside monuments and a hilltop tower. The Heiligenbergturm is the tower. Kurpfälzisches Museum, Sammlung Prinzhorn and the Heidelberger Kunstverein cover the collections, while the Church of the Holy Spirit, the Jesuitenkirche and the Peterskirche carry the churches.
Memorials fill the rest, among them the President Friedrich Ebert Memorial and the Meriankanzel.
What is the history of Neuenheim?
Buildings, not dates, are what Neuenheim leaves behind. What the record supplies instead is a long roll of buildings, the Stephanskloster and the Church of the Holy Spirit among them, with no date for the district itself anywhere in the sources gathered here. Institutions did the recording.
The Kurpfälzisches Museum and the President Friedrich Ebert Memorial carry Heidelberg's later history, and the John Rabe Communication Centre adds a twentieth-century name to the same list.
Where is Neuenheim?
Small ground, long list. Neuenheim covers under six square kilometres of Heidelberg, in Baden-Württemberg, with a landmark register far longer than its size.
