Heppenheim

Heppenheim sits on the western flank of the Odenwald in Hesse, where the vine-covered Bergstraße meets the Upper Rhine Plain. Medieval Starkenburg rises above the town, a long-standing landmark overlooking its compact historic centre. Below the castle, the market square is lined with half-timbered houses, while St Peter’s Church, often called the Bergsträßer Dom, gives the townscape a distinctive silhouette. Winegrowing remains central to local identity: Heppenheim belongs to the Hessische Bergstraße wine region, Germany’s smallest designated wine area.
