explanation: Located between Stuttgart and Frankfurt, on the Neckar river, a confluent of the Rhine, Heidelberg is the 5th largest city (population 143,000) of Baden-Württemberg and attracts many tourists thanks an old castle overlooking the medieval town saved from the allied bombing in WWII. The name of Heidelberg was first mentioned in 1196 and it was a strong hold of the protestant movement during the middle ages. Its university built in 1386 is the oldest in Germany and has good reputations in cancer research.
