Boxberg

A woodland-park settlement above Rohrbach – high-rises, terraced and detached houses on a Scandinavian model, with sweeping views over Heidelberg.

Boxberg was built from 1960 as a woodland-park settlement above Rohrbach – planned on a Scandinavian model, with high-rises among the trees and detached and terraced houses on the meadows. The first tenants moved in in October 1962, and the main construction was complete by the late 1960s/early 1970s. Its hillside setting gives residents an unobstructed view over Heidelberg, the Rhine-Neckar valley and, on clear days, as far as the Palatinate.
