Past . Present . Future

Kurpfälzer Mile of Innovations

Our region is rich in bright minds. For centuries, numerous discoveries and inventions have been made here that changed our world and still shape it today. It is time to honor these innovations.

The "Kurpfälzer Meile der Innovationen" is a project consisting of 42 bronze plates. Each plate represents the innovation and the innovator(s). The bronze plates have been laid in the ground in front of Mannheim's Baroque Palace since May 29, 2017. Thus, the achievements of the inventors and discoverers are commemorated.

Past . Present . Future
