Mannheim is situated at the confluence of the Rhine and the Neckar in the northwestern corner of Baden-Württemberg. The Rhine isolates Mannheim from the city of Ludwigshafen, just towards the west of it in Rhineland-Palatinate, and the border of Baden-Württemberg with Hesse is just towards the north. Mannheim is downstream along the Neckar from the city of Heidelberg. Mannheim is situated in Germany's hottest locale, the "Rhine move". In summer, temperatures some of the time ascend to 35 °C (95 °F) and higher. The most elevated recorded temperature was 39.8 °C (104 °F) on August 7, 2015. The day by day lows amid warmth waves can be high by north European benchmarks (around 25 °C/77 °F). In contrast with different areas of Germany, Mannheim has a higher humidity in summer which resullts in high heat index. Snow is uncommon, even neglected in some months.

Mannheim City Highlights

Surrounded by factories and heavy-industry plants, Mannheim, situated between the Rhine and Neckar Rivers, near their confluence, isn’t Germany at its prettiest. Industrial giants based here include Daimler (automotive), John Deere (agricultural machinery), Caterpillar (construction machinery), ABB (electrical equipment), Fuchs Petrolub (chemicals), IBM (computers), Roche (pharmaceuticals), Unilever (consumer goods) and Siemens (engineering). However, Mannheim compensates with an energetic cultural scene and decent shopping in its busy city centre.
