Mannheim (German pronunciation: [ˈmanhaɪm] (audio speaker iconlisten); Palatine German: Mannem[2] or Monnem) is a city in the southwest of Germany. It is in the northwest of the German state of Baden-Württemberg.

The city was built in the Rhine River valley where the Rhine and the Neckar Rivers meet. The city of Ludwigshafen is on the opposite bank of the Rhine. Mannheim and Ludwigshafen together with Heidelberg and other cities make a big area called "Rhine-Neckar-Area" or "Rhein-Neckar Triangle". Nearly 2.4 million people live in this area.

As of 2020, 309,720 people live in the city.[3] Mannheim is the biggest city in "Rhine-Neckar-Area". It has an oceanic climate (Cfb in the Koeppen climate classification).

Mannheim has universities. The city has a history of important transport inventions. The first automobile,[4][5][6] tractor[6] and bicycle[6][7] (draisine or velocipede, as the earliest recognisable bicycles were called) were all made or presented for the first time in Mannheim. This is why the city is also called the "city of inventions".[8][9][10] The Forbes magazine ranked Mannheim 11th of the most inventive cities worldwide.[11]

During World War II almost all of the old city was destroyed. The houses were built again after the war. Year 2007 was the city's 400th birthday.

Mannheim is now an important city because of its business power and culture. The New Economy Magazine praised Mannheim's positive economic and innovative environment.[12]

It has very good transport connections, by road, rail and water.
