District
Edigheim
Edigheim is a formerly independent village in the north of Ludwigshafen that has kept its rural character and historic village core. Residential estates, allotment gardens and the closeness of the Rhine meadows shape this tranquil district, which is nonetheless well connected by short routes to the industrial belt and the inner city.
Location & Character
Edigheim lies in the north of the city and is among the quieter districts, shaped predominantly by housing. Single- and multi-family houses, residential estates and allotment gardens define the picture, while the historic village core recalls the village past. The closeness of the Rhine meadows lends the district a green, tranquil setting.
History & Change
Like many northern districts, Edigheim was long an independent village before it was incorporated in the course of the city's growth. The preserved village core and the long-grown structure bear witness to this self-contained past. With the expansion of the nearby industrial belt, the place developed into a residential location for workers from the surrounding plants.
Life in the District
Life in Edigheim is shaped by neighbourliness, clubs and short routes. Allotment gardens, residential streets and the nearby Rhine meadows offer room for recreation in the green, without losing the connection to the inner city and to workplaces. Those who seek quiet away from the urban bustle yet still want a well-connected place to live are in good hands here.
