Where is Heidelberg?
Heidelberg is located in southwestern Germany, about 1 hour from Frankfurt. Nestled in the idyllic Neckar river valley, near vineyards and forests, Heidelberg is one of the most beautiful tourist destinations in Germany.

There are over 30,000 students from all over Germany, as well as international students. There is also a large US demographic thanks to the US Army Base in Heidelberg. The base has now been handed over to the German government for civilian purposes, but the city has left an impression on many Americans returning to live and visit.
History of Heidelberg
Life in Heidelberg started early, perhaps as early as 550,000 BC. A jawbone from homo heidelbergensis was discovered in 1907. This is the earliest evidence of human life ever found in Europe.

The first record of the castle appeared in 1303. By 1386, there was a university founded by Rupert I, Elector Palatine. It is the oldest university in Germany (and the third oldest university after Prague and Vienna in Europe speak German). The town's library was founded in 1421 and is the oldest public library in Germany.
In the 19th century, American writer Mark Twain visited Heidelberg for several months, while writing his travel book A A Tramp Abroad. In this book, he praises Heidelberg in words:
"Heidelberg is thought to be in the daytime - with his surroundings - the last possibility of a beauty, but when he sees Heidelberg at night, the Milky Way falls, with a glittering rail constellation pinned to the edge gender, he needs time to review the verdict. "
The city was affected during World War II, possibly because it lacked industrial and transportation importance. After the war, the US military chose it for a base. Since then, the town has continued to grow in popularity with international visitors.
