The small town Ladenburg is on Neckar between Heidelberg and Mannheim and belongs to the state Baden-Wuerttemberg. The first traces of settlement go back 3000 years in the past. Ladenburg was elevated to a town as early as the Roman Empire.
background
Originally a Celtic foundation, Ladenburg became a Roman fort site in 74 AD. The resulting settlement was elevated to the status of a city as early as 98 AD and subsequently became the capital of the Civitas Ulpia Sueborum Nicrensium (neckarsueben). Numerous remains of what was once the largest Roman city in what is now Baden-Württemberg are still visible in the urban area. After the retreat, the Merovingians built a royal court. In the Middle Ages and the following time, the church buildings that still shape today were built. Due to the minor damage caused by the war, the old town is still largely preserved. Carl Benz lived in Ladenburg from 1904 until his death.
