Lonely Planet review

The massive Mannheimer Schloss recently opened to great fanfare after being closed for five years for renovations. Built by Elector Carl Philipp from 1720 to 1760, it was his successor Carl Theodor who saw its completion and fostered fine arts, music, theatre and science and saw Mannheim reach its cultural zenith in the 18th century.

Subsequently host to legal courts, schools and as apartments for government officials, today most of the building, almost completely destroyed in WWII and rebuilt, houses the university.
