Landkreis Bergstraße
Landkreis Bergstraße, Administrative district in southern Hesse, Germany.
The Bergstraße district spans 713 square kilometers across 22 municipalities, from Neckarsteinach in the south to Viernheim in the north.
The district emerged in 1938 through the consolidation of two former administrative regions, Bensheim and Heppenheim, establishing a unified governance structure.
Each municipality in the district maintains wine festivals throughout the year, emphasizing local Riesling and Traminer production from regional vineyards.
The district capital Heppenheim provides administrative services for 275,205 residents while connecting to major transport routes between Frankfurt and Mannheim.
The Starkenburg castle stands on the district's coat of arms alongside a flower, the Lorsch Abbey cross, and the Hessian lion.
