Landau in der Pfalz, Administrative center in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.
The city extends across the Queich River valley, surrounded by vineyards and bordered by the Palatinate Forest in southwestern Germany.
Landau gained status as a free imperial city in 1291 and later transformed into a fortress city designed by military engineer Vauban between 1688 and 1699.
The Protestant Collegiate Church from the 14th century exhibits architectural elements spanning from Gothic construction through mid-16th century modifications.
The University of Koblenz-Landau campus contributes to the education sector while the surrounding wine region supports agricultural commerce.
The term landau originated from this city, referring to a horse-drawn carriage with a convertible top invented during the War of Spanish Succession.
