Mannheim
Downtown Mannheim is structured in grids. The Palace (now home to the university) is the focal point of this chessboard structure. The inner city with its grids was rebuilt after World War II, in which the city was almost completely destroyed.
Famous landmarks include the city castle, built in 1760, and the Wasserturm, located at one of the most splendid Art Nouveau pleasure grounds.
Being the second largest city of the Federal State, Mannheim is the home to several international companies but also to Mannheim University, giving the city its unique multi-faced character.
