District
South
South stretches along the Rhine and is home to the Parkinsel, the city's green lung: a river island with mature trees, promenades and villas that hosts the Festival of German Film every summer. The southern Rhine promenade invites you to stroll and cycle, while turn-of-the-century residential streets give the district a genteel, middle-class character.

Location & Character
South adjoins the city centre directly and stretches southwards along the Rhine. The district is regarded as one of the city's more upmarket residential areas: turn-of-the-century apartment buildings, quiet residential streets and the closeness to the water give it a genteel, well-kept character. The Parkinsel, a peninsula in the Rhine, forms the green heart of the quarter.
Life in the District
Life in South revolves strongly around the river and the greenery. On the Parkinsel, with its mature trees, villas and promenades, families, joggers and cyclists go strolling, and the southern Rhine promenade invites you for walks. Cafés and smaller establishments in the residential quarters make for a relaxed, neighbourly everyday life away from the traffic bustle of the inner city.
Sights & Surroundings
Every summer the Parkinsel becomes a great stage: the Festival of German Film draws thousands of visitors to the Rhine with open-air cinema and premieres. Throughout the year the island offers recreation by the water and views of the passing ship traffic. From the Rhine promenade you can easily survey the bridges to Mannheim and the skyline of the neighbouring city.
