Heidelberg
German university town
Heidelberg is a city in southwestern Germany, situated on the Neckar River.
It is home to Germany's oldest university, founded in 1386, and its picturesque old town and castle ruins make it a major tourist destination.
The name appears in compounds like Heidelberg Man, an early human fossil discovered nearby, and in references to German academic and romantic tradition.
