Oppau, Northern district in Ludwigshafen, Germany
Oppau consists of three distinct sections including Oppau proper, Edigheim, and Pfingstweide, forming the northernmost part of Ludwigshafen along the Rhine River.
The district experienced a devastating industrial accident in 1921 when an explosion at the BASF nitrogen works caused 559 casualties and required extensive reconstruction.
The Karl-Otto-Braun Museum presents geological collections and local history exhibits that document the evolution of Oppau from an agricultural village to an industrial center.
The district connects to downtown Ludwigshafen and Mannheim through the four-lane L523 road, while public transportation includes Stadtbahn line 3 and multiple bus routes.
Oppau transformed from a farming village on the right bank of the Rhine to an industrial community on the left bank due to natural changes in the river course.
