Discover Neulußheim

Neulußheim offers several points of interest for a trip: the tower clock museum, an established cultural venue and a local history that can be traced through its settlement plan and railway station. The Blausee Lußheim also lies between Neulußheim and Altlußheim. This brings local culture and history together with a swimming lake nearby and other attractions across the wider Rhein-Neckar district.

Tower Clock Museum: Clock Face and Carillon

A huge clock face from a fully functioning tower clock greets visitors on the museum building. The distinctive clock motif is therefore already visible on the building itself. The museum also has a carillon, which rings only on special occasions. The clock face and carillon each make a different impression: one defines the exterior, while the other can be heard on special occasions.

Culture at the Alter Bahnhof

The “Alter Bahnhof” cultural venue has been a fixture of Neulußheim’s cultural scene for more than two decades. Its program is considered high-caliber and diverse. This cultural venue with a wide-ranging program complements the tower clock museum’s specific focus on clocks. If you plan your trip around your cultural interests, you will find two distinct points of interest here: a distinctive museum theme and the cultural venue with its varied program.

Local History: Settlement Plan and Railway Station

The early settlement of Neulußheim developed on the grounds of the “Zum Bären” inn. A farm estate with an inn and brewery was established there. From the outset, the settlement was laid out in a regular, cross-shaped pattern. These details give the town’s history both a specific starting point and a recognizable form. The railway station is another historical landmark: from 1870 onward, it played a major role in Neulußheim’s development. The early settlement core and the later boost in development brought by the railway can thus be seen as distinct chapters in the town’s history.

The Blausee Lußheim Nearby

The idyllic Blausee Lußheim, a swimming lake, lies between Altlußheim and Neulußheim. It adds a connection to swimming and the surrounding landscape to the town’s attractions. Its geographic location is helpful when planning a trip: the lake lies between the two towns and is a regional point of interest, not a feature of Neulußheim’s town center.

More Attractions Across the Wider Rhein-Neckar District

The wider travel destination of the Rhein-Neckar district also offers a variety of cultural and historical highlights. In Schwetzingen, the Electoral Palace has a Rococo theater and a world-famous park; asparagus has been grown there for around 350 years. In Ladenburg’s historic center, much of the townscape still reflects the Middle Ages and, in some places, Roman times. Parts of Wiesloch’s former town wall and its defensive towers have been preserved. These places represent different regional themes: palace and park, a long asparagus-growing tradition, and medieval and Roman urban history.

The landscape and activities also vary. The Bergstraße and the eastern part of the Rhein-Neckar district lie within the Neckartal-Odenwald Nature Park. Eberbach has 150 kilometers of marked hiking trails. At Waidsee in Weinheim, there are areas for paddlers, sailors and windsurfers; at the swimming lake in St. Leon, water skiing and wakeboarding are offered on a cable system. The annual “Ab in den Wald” program offers free forest tours and excursions throughout the Rhein-Neckar district.

Other regional attractions range from the Hockenheimring in Hockenheim, a draw for motorsports fans, to the Technik Museum Sinsheim, which displays the Concorde. Guided tours are offered at Windeck Castle ruins in Weinheim. Thus, alongside cultural history and nature, the Rhein-Neckar district also offers motorsports, technology and guided castle visits.

The Blausee Lußheim adds to the local attractions as a swimming lake between Neulußheim and Altlußheim.
