Oppenheim: A town steeped in history and charm

Oppenheim looks back on a fascinating history dating back to Roman times – archaeological finds prove that the area was settled as early as the late 5th century. The town was first mentioned in documents in 765 and was granted the status of a free imperial town in 1225. Steady economic growth allowed Oppenheim to rise to become one of the leading German imperial cities.

But difficult times also left their mark: the War of the Palatinate Succession in 1689 devastated the once-thriving city. Today, Oppenheim is a lively mix of history and modernity that can be felt at every turn.
