The Mannheim Palace is one of the iconic buildings in Mannheim, apart from Wasserturm and Mannheim Hauptbahnhof. It was in Baroque style and originally the main residence of the Prince-electors of the Electorate of the Palatinate of the House of Wittelsbach. It is one of the reasons why I chose Mannheim. Part of the building is the campus of Universität Mannheim, including classrooms and a library. Yes, I can STUDY in a PALACE! Another part of the palace is a museum. Der Neckar near Hafenstrasse Page 2 EXCHANGE REPORT Monthly Activity Log SEPTEMBER Schlossfest Apart from the welcome party, one of the unforgettable activities was the Schlossfest. I visited the museum of Mannheim palace for free, went to the roof of the palace and watched firework and music performance. Of course, I tried the Eichbaum beer produced in Mannheim and met some German friends. Heidelberg The way I spent my free time in September was to travel in places nearby. The semester ticket for students covered the places such as Heidelberg, Speyer, Schwetzingen and Wertheim. The S-bahn train S1 goes along the beautiful and meandering Neckar River from Heidelberg to Osterburken.

  • Born 600 Years Ago at Heidelberg Palace: Mechthild Von Der Pfalz
    THE STATE PALACES AND GARDENS OF BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG STAATLICHE SCHLÖSSER UND GÄRTEN BADEN-WÜRTTEMBERG PRESS RELEASE MARCH 2019 / 3 PAGES HEIDELBERG CASTLE: MECHTHILD VON DER PFALZ Heidelberg Castle Born 600 years ago at Heidelberg Palace: Mechthild von der Pfalz 2019 marks the 600th anniversary of her birth. Her story: On March 7, 1419, Mechthild von der Pfalz was born in Heidelberg Palace, the daughter of Prince- Elector Ludwig III, later the wife of two important rulers. She was a highly cultured woman and the center of a "Musenhof", a court of muses. She was the driving force behind the founding of two of the state's academic institutions, continuing a family tradition, which began with the founding of Heidelberg University by Prince-Elector Ruprecht I in 1386. Her birthday falls the day before International Women's Day, which is celebrated on March 8 — one more reason why the State Palaces and Gardens of Baden-Württemberg is commemorating this famous resident of the Electoral Palatinate. THE ROYAL RESIDENCE 600 YEARS AGO As the daughter of Prince-Elector Ludwig von der Pfalz and his wife, Countess Matilda von Savoyen-Achaja, Mechthild was born in Heidelberg Palace on March 7, 1419. The castle was still very much a medieval structure, not one of the grandiose palaces that characterize the area today. The Ruprechtsbau structure, commissioned by and named after her grandfather, King Ruprecht I, was not completed until just before Mechthild's birth. It is the oldest surviving residential structure on the castle grounds and is one of the last remnants of the late medieval castle.
