Hemsbach, Municipality in Rhein-Neckar district, Germany

The town extends along the Bergstrasse region with residential areas surrounded by vineyards and forests at an elevation of 107 meters.

First documented in 795 as Hemmingisbach in the Lorsch Codex, Hemsbach developed from a small village into a municipality under Palatinate-Mosbach control.

The St. Laurentius Church served both Catholic and Protestant congregations until 1936 when a separate Protestant church was constructed.

Located 18 kilometers northeast of Mannheim, Hemsbach connects to major cities through the Bundesautobahn 5 and regular rail services.

The former synagogue, which operated from 1845 until 1938, now functions as a museum documenting the local Jewish community history.
