Hemshof Quarter

The Hemshof is the historic heart of old Ludwigshafen and was once the densely built working-class district of the growing industrial city. Around Hemshofstraße and the weekly market, a colourful quarter life shaped by immigration still pulses today. Small shops, cafés, pubs and restaurants of many nationalities define the streetscape and make the Hemshof one of the liveliest and most diverse quarters in the city. Anyone wanting to get to know the original, unvarnished Ludwigshafen will find exactly that here.

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 colourful 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

Anyone wanting to get to know the original, unvarnished Ludwigshafen is in exactly the right place here. The quarter is at its busiest on market day, when stalls, aromas and the babble of voices fill the streets. The Hemshof is best explored on foot, letting yourself drift and tasting your way through the cuisines of the many nations at home here.
