The old heart of Ludwigshafen
The Hemshof is the historic heart of old Ludwigshafen and was once the densely built working-class district of the rapidly growing industrial city. Here the families who worked in the factories and at BASF lived close together. To this day the dense development around Hemshofstraße tells of this past as a classic quarter of ordinary working people.
Multicultural quarter life
Around Hemshofstraße and the weekly market pulses a colorful quarter life shaped by immigration. Small shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants of many nationalities define the streetscape and create a diversity that is hard to match. The Hemshof is thus regarded as one of the liveliest and most varied quarters in the city and is a mirror of Ludwigshafen's immigration history.
Tips for your visit
