3 Heidelberg - City of Romanticism and Science Heidelberg, once the capital of the Palatinate and the 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 9 th 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 of Heidelberg is the oldest university in Germany. The respected CHE research ranking of 009/0 named Heidelberg as the strongest research university in Germany. In the QS World University Ranking 0/03, the University of Heidelberg, together with the Technical University of Munich, achieved the highest position among the German universities. In June 0, the university s elite status was endorsed through the Excellence Initiative of Federal and Regional State Governments. In the CHE 03 ranking of German universities, Heidelberg was awarded first place for such disciplines as medicine. 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 7 th 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 has 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. Not far from University Square is the Jesuit church. Built in the early 8 th century and adorned with several figures of the Virgin Mary and saints, the church is the Old Town s symbol of Catholicism regaining its foothold in Heidelberg following the upheaval of the Thirty Years War and the Palatinate War of Succession. 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, Karlsruhe and Stuttgart airports means Heidelberg is easily accessible to its guests from all over the world. The name Heidelberg stands not only for tradition and romanticism, but also for a modern and world-class location for science and business. Thus, the tradition-steeped 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 50,000 to its position as one of Germany s leading economic centres. Heidelberg is also one of Germany s leading cultural centres, as demonstrated by its wealth of museums and theatres. Together with the neighbouring cities in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan area (Mannheim, Ludwigshafen, Speyer, Schwetzingen and Worms, to name the most important), Heidelberg offers a large variety of nationally significant cultural events: Heidelberg Castle Festival 4 The baroque townhouses and their ornamental facades and portals are a striking feature of any walk round the Old Town. The heart of the Old Town is the market place, with the Evangelical church of the Holy Ghost and the grand renaissance building 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.
