Mannheimer Rheinschanze, Military fortification in Ludwigshafen, Germany
The Mannheimer Rheinschanze stands on the western bank of the Rhine River, directly opposite to Mannheim, featuring earthen walls and defensive structures.
Built in 1606 under Elector Friedrich IV, the fortification endured multiple destructions and reconstructions during the Thirty Years War and the War of the Palatine Succession.
The fortification marks the foundation point of Ludwigshafen, transforming from a military post into a commercial center that shaped the region's development.
The site contains preserved sections of the original defensive walls and provides information panels explaining the military architecture of the 17th century.
The former customs post evolved from a simple military fortification into the nucleus of Ludwigshafen, receiving its current name in 1843.
