Romantic Heidelberg, 1830
Heidelberg in 1830 is the university town celebrated by poets and painters, its ruined castle looming over a compact Baroque old town beside the Neckar. The walk moves from the river approach, across the Old Bridge and through student streets to the castle terraces and the Philosophenweg, showing the city’s ruined masonry, narrow lanes and riverside houses.
34 scenes — 20 streets, squares and views, 14 interiors to step inside. Planned from the Wikipedia record of Heidelberg as it stood in 1830 (“Heidelberg”).
