Heidelberg -  Pfaffengrund terrace completes the centre

Bahnstadt - the young Heidelberg passive house development - continues to develop with great strides: in 2021, the buildings at the new Stadtentree on Europaplatz grew upwards, the conference centre already shows its contours visibly and the construction of the Kopernikusquartier (opposite the shopping centre) with 200 flats started. The highlight of the Bahnstadt-year 2021 was the opening of the Pfaffengrunder Terrasse, the new square for all ages.
"Places that provide a meeting point fill a neighbourhood with life. Creating these meeting places was important to us from the beginning in order to develop a lively neighbourhood. Anyone who is out and about here in the afternoon or at weekends can see that we have succeeded," says First Mayor Jürgen Odszuck.
