Leimen, Municipality in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
Leimen spreads across hillsides south of Heidelberg, combining industrial buildings with residential neighborhoods at different elevations. The town uses its sloped terrain, with structures adapted to the uneven landscape.
The town gained importance in the 19th century with the establishment of Heidelberger Zement, still a major cement producer today. This factory shaped the area's development and growth.
Georgi Platz and Kurfalz-Zentrum serve as central gathering spots where residents shop, eat, and spend time together. These spaces shape daily life and show how the town brings its community together.
Located around 73 kilometers from Stuttgart, the town connects easily to nearby places like Sankt Ilgen and Sandhausen. Proximity to Heidelberg and good road links make it simple to reach.
A large conveyor belt system runs through the town, connecting the cement factory to a quarry using underground tunnels. This transport network remains a striking reminder of the industrial operations that built this place.
