Alongside the Old Town, Bergheim is Heidelberg's "second centre".
Bergheim is a dynamic, creative and family-friendly neighbourhood and one of Heidelberg's most traditional service and business locations. Highlights include the Heidelberg Public Library, the Heidelberg Intercultural Centre, Heidelberg Central Station, the University Campus for Social and Economic Sciences, the Prinzhorn Collection, the Heidelberg Thermal Baths, the Altes Hallenbad Heidelberg, the KÖRPERWELTEN Museum Heidelberg, the Landfriedgelände and the Altklinikum.
The approximately 7,200 residents particularly appreciate the central location, the diverse cultural, social and gastronomic offerings and the good connections to all other parts of the city. What was once characterised by trade and industry is now one of Heidelberg's most attractive residential districts.
With an area of around 128 hectares, Bergheim is one of the most important and traditional service and commercial locations in the city.
