Edingen-Neckarhausen, municipality in Germany
Edingen-Neckarhausen is a municipality along the Neckar River with flat terrain and quiet streets. The two villages are linked by history and geography, featuring old stone buildings, a simple church tower, and palace ruins that shape the landscape.
Edingen was first documented in 765 when it was granted to Lorsch Abbey. Neckarhausen appeared in records in 773, and both settlements were controlled by different rulers over centuries while maintaining structures and traditions that survive to this day.
The town hosts local festivals throughout the year, including the 'All around the Palace' celebration in July with music and traditional food. These gatherings bring residents together to share stories and strengthen their sense of community.
The municipality is accessible by train at Neu-Edingen station with regular bus connections to Mannheim and Heidelberg. A ferry crosses the Neckar to Ladenburg, while bicycle paths and pedestrian bridges make local travel convenient.
A small ferry has long connected Ladenburg and Neckarhausen, allowing travelers and locals to cross the river without using a bridge. This unconventional crossing is woven into daily life and reflects the character of the region.
