Heidelberg in Winter, 2009

From Wikipedia

Heidelberg is a city in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. As of 2006, over 140,000 people live within the city's 109 square kilometres (42 sq mi) area.

Approximately 1,000,000 years ago, the "Heidelberg Man", whose jaw-bone was discovered in 1907, the earliest evidence of human life in Europe, died at nearby Mauer.

In the 5th century BC there was a Celtic fortress of refuge and place of worship on the Heiligenberg, or "Mountain of Saints". Both places can still be identified.

In 863 the monastery of St. Michael was founded on the Heiligenberg inside the double rampart of the Celtic fortress, and around 1130 the Neuberg Monastery was founded in the Neckar valley. At the same time the bishopric of Worms extended its influence into the valley, founding Schönau Abbey in 1142. Modern Heidelberg can trace its roots to this monastery.

The first reference to Heidelberg can be found in a document in Schönau Abbey dated to 1196. This is considered the founding date for Heidelberg.

@ccones: Thank you very much for the comment. Heidelberg is a charming city. When we lived in Karlsruhe we went there several times, we loved it, liked touring the Neckard-Gemünd and travel to Dilsberg. All German cities are really nice!. Kind regards

@bettyloo1986: Thank you very much for your comment. Heidelberg is a lovely City, you know it much better than me, despite I've been there 6 times or so. We have lived in Karlsruhe by 2 years, we loved it and its people. Munich is a big City, I do prefer an small one, also. I am very glad that you liked my Videos!. Thanks a lot!. Horacio

@hmarevalo I love your videos. Heidelberg is one of the cities that I feel like home when I go there. I have been going there nearly every year for 20years now. I was there last summer we usually stay in ziegelhausen. Karlsruhe is nice and Freiberg where as i didnt find myself in Munich. Might give it another visit.. I cant express how joy your videos give me.

Thank you very much for your nice comment. Heidelberg is a charming city, also near Karlsruhe, so we have visited several times in 1980-82 and we wanted to do it again in this trip. Have a Very good weekend.
