Neulußheim
Neulußheim is a town in the district of Rhein-Neckar in Baden-Württemberg in Germany, with about 7,100 inhabitants. Larger cities in the surrounding area include Speyer, Mannheim and Heidelberg. It was founded in 1711 at a crossroads by Julius Schickard. Due to the logistical advantage and the construction of a station on the Mannheim-Karlsruhe railway line in 1870, the hamlet rapidly increased in population. The railway station with an overhead crossing was built in 1984 by Gottfried Böhm, a famous German architect. In 2020, the German public broadcasting service "ZDF" published a documentary about the ongoing construction of two elevators and other restoration works at the station.
