Discover Altlußheim

Altlußheim brings together several themes to consider when planning your stay: a learning center for physics and technology, a museum about the history of hairdressing, playgrounds and a local street festival. If you are looking for a hotel in Altlußheim, you can consider whether you are particularly interested in hands-on technology, craft culture or destinations in the Rhein-Neckar district. Looking at the region opens up further themes that differ from what the town itself has to offer.

Technology and craftsmanship in Altlußheim

The TECHNOLOGIE-ARENA of the AUTOVISION Museum Foundation is an extracurricular learning center for physics and technology. School classes and individual visitors can use more than 80 hands-on learning models there. The models and their themes give the visit a clear focus: physical and technical principles take center stage, and learning is designed around interacting with the models.

The Schnuteputzer's Hairdressing Museum offers a different perspective. Master hairdresser Willi Dörr shows how the hairdressing trade has changed over time. On display are everyday objects and hairdressing supplies from the last 100 years, including various razor blades and soap. The collection also includes rare and valuable items: permanent-wave machines, complete salon furnishings dating from 1860 to 2000, and hair pictures. The history of a trade is presented alongside tangible objects. The range of objects extends from professional equipment to complete salon furnishings.

Playgrounds, drinking water and a dated local festival

Altlußheim has six playgrounds for running around, climbing, exercising, swinging and playing ball. If you are planning a visit, check the playgrounds’ current availability and condition beforehand.

There is a public drinking-water fountain at the pump track near the Rheinfrankenhalle. You can draw fresh drinking water there free of charge and refill your own water bottles. As the fountain’s condition may change, check its current status before visiting.

The Altlußheim street festival took place for the 44th time on July 4, 2026, as an open-air gathering. Local associations and the municipal administration organized it for residents and numerous guests. The stage program at Rathausplatz offered entertainment for children and adults. If your travel plans depend on an event date, check the dates before booking.

Other places in the Rhein-Neckar district broaden the range of themes. In Schwetzingen, the Electoral Palace features a Rococo theater and a world-famous park. Asparagus has also been grown there for around 350 years. In Ladenburg, parts of the historic town center still reflect the Middle Ages and, in some cases, Roman times; sections of the former town wall and defensive towers have been preserved in Wiesloch.
