District

Kirchheim

A southern Heidelberg district – historically an independent municipality, today with a large industrial area and new housing.

Kirchheim is Heidelberg's most populous district. Independent until 1920, it still has its own identity with a historic centre and the Schwetzinger Straße. Industry and logistics sit in the south, while established residential neighbourhoods lie to the north.

Kirchheim is one of Heidelberg's most populous districts and was an independent municipality until 1920. The historic centre with its church and older building stock recalls that era, while the Schwetzinger Straße serves as the quarter's lifeline, lined with shops and places to eat.

Economically Kirchheim matters: large commercial and logistics sites lie to the south, while established residential neighbourhoods and newer developments shape the north. The district is well served by tram and road and is popular with families looking for a little more space than the Old Town offers.
