Schriesheim

Schriesheim is a town in the Rhein-Neckar region situated on the western edge of Odenwald along the Kanzelbach river. It lies approximately 14 kilometers east of Mannheim and 8 kilometers north of Heidelberg, covering 31 square kilometers with around 15,000 residents.

The town suffered heavily during the Thirty Years' War and lost many inhabitants. This upheaval reshaped the population, which later became predominantly Protestant Reformed.

The Theo Kerg Museum displays works by the Luxembourg artist and shapes the cultural character of the town. The collection of paintings and sculptures reflects the artistic connection between the region and the artist's creative output.

The town is accessible via telephone codes 06203 and 06220 and offers established infrastructure for visitors. When exploring, note that its position between Mannheim and Heidelberg provides good transport links to both cities.

The climate here ranks among the warmest in all of Germany, with average temperatures around 11 degrees Celsius. This mild weather makes it a pleasant place to visit, especially when compared to regions further north.
