In the university city of Heilbronn, there is much more to discover besides the educational campus. The Experimenta, the largest science center in Germany, can be reached on foot within only a few minutes.
Take a walk along the Neckar river or meet up with friends in the Pfuehlpark and Wertwiesenpark. The Neckarmeile with its many cafés, bars, and restaurants is also full of life every day. The possibilities of how to spend your free time are endless in this small town. The landscape is characterized by beautiful vineyards, for which Heilbronn is also internationally known. A walk along the wine panorama path is also worthwhile.
End the day on the Wartberg, from where you have the best view over Heilbronn and can see the city from a different perspective.

In 1801, Heinrich von Kleist put Heilbronn firmly on the literary map with his play Das Käthchen von Heilbronn. By the town hall, with its astronomical clock, across from the Gothic St. Kilian’s Church, the city exudes the charm of bygone days. These landmarks are two of the few historical buildings that withstood the devastating air raid of December 4, 1944.
The modern side of the “City on the Neckar” can be found in the shopping mile, with its numerous stores and boutiques, that extend away from the historic center. The city’s museums and the Heilbronn Theater offer great variety for those interested in culture and learning. At the hands-on museum Experimenta, Germany’s largest science center, adults and children can explore fascinating natural phenomena.
In recent years, a lively restaurant and bar scene has emerged along the Neckar River, just a few minutes’ walk from the Bildungscampus. Indeed, the city is shaped by its river and the vineyards that surround it. Around 120 family businesses in and near Heilbronn produce the famous Wuerttemberger wine, predominantly from Trollinger and Lemberger grapes. Enjoying a Viertele, or a 0.25-liter glass of wine, at a Besen – a traditional seasonal wine bar run by a winegrower – is an essential part of any visit to Heilbronn. To find out which Besen is currently open, simply consult the handy Besenkalendar.

If you rent a private apartment, you usually have to make arrangements regarding utilities yourself, e.g. for electricity, Internet, and waste collection.
