Old Heidelberg, you are so fine,
you city rich in honor,
on the Neckar and on the Rhine
there is no other like you.
Joseph Victor von Scheffel
With its glorious natural setting, a wonderful castle, historic old town and a beautiful river set in the midst of rolling hills, Heidelberg is regarded as one of the most attractive cities in Germany. It is also a progressive city of international importance in the fields of science, research and business.
