Ladenburg, Medieval riverfront town in Rhein-Neckar, Germany

The old town center of Ladenburg contains streets lined with medieval structures, half-timbered houses, and a central marketplace surrounded by historic buildings.

Founded as Lopodunum in 98 AD by Emperor Trajan, the settlement developed from a Celtic village into a Roman administrative center with thermal baths and theaters.

The Lobdengau Museum, located in the Bischofshof building, presents archaeological discoveries, regional artifacts, and exhibits about local customs through the centuries.

The town sits 10 kilometers from Heidelberg and Mannheim, with regular train connections and walking paths along the Neckar River for regional exploration.

The Dr. Carl Benz Museum occupies century-old factory buildings, displaying 80 vehicles that document the evolution of German automotive engineering and design.
