Heidelberg entdecken

A permanent exhibition of preserved human bodies and organs in Heidelberg's former indoor swimming pool, the Altes Hallenbad, near Bismarckplatz. Using the plastination technique developed by Gunther von Hagens, it displays real anatomical specimens from body donors under the theme The Body as the Place of Happiness.

A ruined Renaissance castle on the Königstuhl hillside above Heidelberg's old town, first built before 1214 and expanded into two castles around 1294. Lightning destroyed the upper castle in 1537, and later fires and wartime demolition in the 17th and 18th centuries left it in ruins; a funicular railway from the Kornmarkt now reaches the castle terrace.
