Bilfinger Berger is to move its headquarters from Carl-Reiß-Platz to the Glückstein District. The international engineering and services company will purchase 4 400 square meters of land on the future Lindenhofplatz, giving it direct access to Mannheim’s main train station. Direct accessibility to main-line trains, together with the modern environment and the prestigious showcase location were all advantages which swayed Bilfinger Berger’s choice in favor of the location.   

From May 18 to 25, 2013, Mannheim will be a hive of activity. The international German Gymnastic Festival IDT („Internationales Deutsches Turnfest“) will attract a mass of sport enthusiasts throughout the local Rhine Neckar region. Mayor for Education and Sport Dr. Ulrike Freundlieb held discussions with both IDT organisation committee’s director Heinrich Clausen and Daniel Sautter, director of the Regional Sport Association, on this major event and its importance for Mannheim.
