Heidelberg, once the capital of the Electorate of the Palatinate and the intellectual centre of Calvinism, lies in the charming Neckar Valley and is characterised by a particularly mild climate. Heidelberg's beauty has attracted many poets, painters and scientists throughout history. In the early 19th century, the city on the Neckar became the most important centre of German late Romanticism. The poets Arnim, Brentano, Goethe and Eichendorff are inextricably linked with this epoch. Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg, the oldest university in Germany, "confirmed its leading position among the best universities in Germany once again in 2017 and can also hold its own in a global comparison with strong rankings.
