About Wieblingen
Where to stay in Wieblingen
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Wieblingen keeps no hotel quarter. The fourteen square kilometres under the name are given over to houses and to four church entries, the Alte Kapelle and the Kreuzkirche among them, which is the honest measure of what a guest finds on arrival here. St. Bartholomäus serves the parish.
You would book out here for space and a calm street, and in Heidelberg itself for a real choice of rooms and a short walk to the rest of the city.
About Wieblingen
What are the main landmarks in Wieblingen?
Four entries stand on the register, and every one of them is a church or a chapel rather than a museum, a tower or anything else a visitor might expect from a district this size. The Alte Kapelle is one, and the Kreuzkirche is the second. St. Bartholomäus accounts for the remaining pair, listed once in short form and once as the Pfarrkirche St. Bartholomäus.
What is the history of Wieblingen?
Heidelberg's charters give Wieblingen no year. What the district brings into Heidelberg's register is the Alte Kapelle, the Kreuzkirche and a parish church entered twice over, with no date attached to any of them in the sources gathered here. The chapel name says the most.
Wieblingen's past has to be read from its buildings, because the written entries stop at the names themselves.
Where is Wieblingen?
Ground here runs broad. Wieblingen covers about fourteen square kilometres of Heidelberg, in Baden-Württemberg, and every landmark on its register is a church.
