Mannheim
Mannheim is colourful, diverse, captivating, experimental – and never boring. Public and private venues such as the Alte Feuerwache, Capitol, Rosengarten and the SAP Arena all help maintain a thriving arts scene, as do the festivals and numerous events arranged by private cultural organisations. Boosted by the presence of institutions such as the University of Music and Performing Arts, Baden-Württemberg Pop Academy, the University of Applied Sciences and the Independent Art Academy, creativity flourishes in Mannheim on an almost unparalleled scale.
