Opposite the old town, at the foot of the Heiligenberg, lies the Neuenheim district.
Residents particularly appreciate the village character around the market square with its weekly market, the proximity to the city centre and the green residential areas. Neuenheimer Feld is home to numerous scientific institutes and research facilities such as the German Cancer Research Centre and the renowned university hospitals. The Neckar meadow, the zoo and the botanical garden are also worth a visit. The Philosophenweg with its magnificent view over Heidelberg offers a fantastic opportunity to seamlessly reach the Old Town via the Schlangenweg at the Old Bridge.
