Ludwigshafen University of Applied Sciences
Ludwigshafen with its population of 170,000 people, is the second largest city in the state of Rhineland-Palatinate, one of 16 federal states of the Federal Republic of Germany. Politically a part of Rhineland-Palatinate, Ludwigshafen is historically and economically more an integral part of the Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region and the Rhine-Neckar Triangle, whose name derives from the shape given by the confluence of the Rhine and Neckar rivers. This region cuts across political boundaries artificially imposed after World War 2. It includes parts of the states of Rhineland-Palatinate, Baden-Württemberg and Hesse.
The Rhine-Neckar Metropolitan Region is the seventh largest conurbation in Germany with a population of about 2,3 million. The region is well-known for its internationally operating businesses including BASF AG, ABB AG, DaimlerChrysler AG, La Roche Mannheim GmbH, John Deere, Siemens AG, Heidelberger Druckmaschinen AG and SAP AG as well as many small and medium-sized companies.
In addition to being an economic hub, the region is also known for its academic and research network including the universities of Heidelberg, Mannheim and Ludwigshafen which altogether have over 45,000 students.
It is also an area of particular natural beauty and diversity flanked by the Palatinate Forest to the West and ‘Odenwald’ Forest to the East. For those interested in culture the region presents an array of historical and architectural treasures.
