Mannheim - a nice place to live in

by christine.j - last update: Jan 17, 2009

Winter in Mannheim 2009

Finally, a real winter again! Snow which stays white and doesn't turn into dirty mud right away and even blocks of ice on the Neckar. Together with many others we walked down to the river to watch the ice floating by.
The woods near Mannheim are great for walking.
As far as touristy cities go, Mannheim has always been in the shadow of Heidelberg. It's even difficult to find some Mannheim souvenirs, for those visitors who'd like some. But it's a nice place to live in. I've lived here in the Mannheim area for the last 25 years.There are good shopping opportunities, a large variety of schools to choose from - though this is not of any interests to visitors - and also a lot of nature, more than people think when they are driving through the city.

 Mannheim seems a very interesting city. Thanks for your tips and for your research work on your mystery house. Regards, also for Koala ;)

 Great page. I lived in Viernheim for 6 months, and am about to head back there in a couple months; your page has gotten me homesick (in a good way)!

 Superb page of your home city. Mannheim certainly has many interesting tourist attractions. Mannheim Castle, the churches, parks, watertower and Zeughaus Museum look wonderful to visit and explore. ~ho & pang

 Congrats on solving the mystery of the wonderful building's facade. Good work. We may have passed thru this place years ago along our way to Heidelberg.
