Lampertheim

Lampertheim is a municipality situated on the Rhine plain between the Odenwald and Palatinate Forest. The town sprawls across a large area with Huttenfeld as a significant district and lies directly along one of Germany's major river corridors.

The settlement emerged around 832 as Langobardonheim, suggesting its founding by Lombard settlers who made their home in this Rhine region. The name preserves the memory of the early people who established themselves here.

The annual June Asparagus Festival brings the community together with traditional music, local food, and the selection of an Asparagus Queen. This celebration shows how deeply the crop has become part of local identity.

The municipality connects easily to Mannheim, Worms, and surrounding areas via Federal roads 47 and 44. Visitors will find straightforward road access for exploring the region and nearby towns.

Castle Rennhof in the Huttenfeld district houses the only Lithuanian educational institution in Western Europe. The school preserves Lithuanian language and culture for a dispersed community.
