Liebe r/Heidelberg Community,

zur Landtagswahl 2026 möchten wir euch wieder die Möglichkeit geben, direkt mit den Kandidierenden aus dem Wahlkreis Heidelberg ins Gespräch zu kommen - ganz ohne Flyer und Wahlkampfstände.

Deshalb laden wir als Mod-Team die zugelassenen Parteien im Wahlkreis zu AMAs (Ask Me Anything Posts) hier auf r/Heidelberg ein und organisieren diese gemeinsam mit den jeweiligen Teams, so wie ihr es schon von vorherigen Wahlen kennt. Ziel ist ein offener Austausch, bei dem ihr direkt Fragen an die Kandidierenden stellen könnt.

Wenn ihr per Briefwahl abstimmen wollt, kann es sich also lohnen mit dem Kreuz noch kurz zu warten. Die AMAs geben euch die Chance Kandidierende mit euren wichtigsten Anliegen zu befragen, und euch ein besseres Bild zu machen.

Sobald Termine stehen, posten wir sie hier.

Wichtig zur Transparenz:

Wir haben uns entschieden, die Alternative für Deutschland diesmal nicht anzufragen. Bereits zur Kommunalwahl 2024 gab es ein AMA mit der Partei, bei dem es trotz intensiver Moderation zu einer großen Anzahl an Regelverstößen und Falschinformationen kam. Vor diesem Hintergrund haben wir für die kommende AMA-Reihe eine Moderationsentscheidung getroffen, die darauf abzielt, einen konstruktiven Austausch im Sub zu ermöglichen. Diese Entscheidung stellt keine Wahlempfehlung dar.

Liebe r/Heidelberg Community,

die letzten Wochen waren spannend: Fünf Kandidierende aus dem Wahlkreis Heidelberg haben sich euren Fragen hier im Sub gestellt: offen, direkt und (meistens) ohne Wahlkampffloskeln. Wir wollen kurz Bilanz ziehen, bevor es am Sonntag ernst wird.

Die AMAs im Überblick

Hier findet ihr alle AMAs zum Nachlesen. Gerade wenn ihr euch noch nicht entschieden habt, lohnt sich ein Blick:

• 13.02.2026: Ines Palm - SPD
• 22.02.2026: Tim Nusser - FDP
• 27.02.2026: Kim Sophie Bohnen - Die Linke
• 02.03.2026: Elisa Hippert - Volt
• 05.03.2026: Florian Kollmann - GRÜNE

Ein großes Danke geht an alle Kandidierenden und ihre Teams, die sich die Zeit genommen haben eure Fragen zu beantworten. Und natürlich an euch, für die vielen guten Fragen und die insgesamt faire Diskussion.

Transparenz

Zur Vollständigkeit: Wir hatten mit Ausnahme der AfD alle zugelassenen Parteien im Wahlkreis zu AMAs eingeladen.

• Zur AfD hatten wir im Ankündigungspost bereits erläutert, warum wir diesmal keine Einladung ausgesprochen haben: den Post findet ihr hier.
• Die PARTEI (Daniel Wagner) hat leider nicht auf unsere Einladung reagiert.
• Die CDU (Nicole Huber) reagierte nach mehrfacher Anfrage, wählte einen von uns vorgeschlagenen Termin, und meldete sich danach leider nicht mehr.

Sonntag ist Wahltag!

Am 8. März ist Landtagswahl. Die Wahllokale haben von 8 bis 18 Uhr geöffnet. Falls ihr noch nicht per Briefwahl abgestimmt habt: Geht wählen! Egal für wen: nutzt eure Stimme.

Euer r/Heidelberg Mod-Team

As in previous years, 2025 was a year where many things happened, and we - the Mod team - wanted to take a moment to reflect on what was up on r/Heidelberg throughout the year.

Subreddit Size

While we had 52,000 members at the beginning of 2025, this subreddit now houses 60,400 members - that's a growth of 16% within a year! As in 2024, r/Heidelberg remains the biggest Heidelberg community on the internet.

Nice to know: Our Heidelberg Discord Server now houses over 1,400 members.

5. Leuchtendes Anwesen in der Nacht by u/Southern-Ostrich5205

More 2025 Highlights

For Heidelberg newcomers or tourists, u/Jamaleum gave the community a pretty accurate description how Traversing the Altstadt works in our city - we can probably all relate.

We got some far away greetings from our partner city Kumamoto via u/RoadandHardtail - a treaty of friendship that has been officially existing since 1992. Kumamoto is one of the 20 cities of Japan, and between this city and Heidelberg there are frequent exchanges in the fields of medicine, sport, and more. Read about it here.

Heidelberg also continued its support for Ukraine via the Freundschaft kennt keine Grenzen society, by promoting the intercultural development of Ukrainian students and enabling them to access high-quality education. Awareness for this was raised via a rally in Heidelberg.

In 2025, the citizens of our neighbor towns Dossenheim and Schriesheim voted in favor of building wind turbines in the nearby forest, allowing the project to get started and - according to estimates - have functioning wind turbines within the next 5-6 years.

Also our Heidelberg firefighters had plenty to do in 2025. If you are interested in this topic, the German TV series Feuer & Flamme is worth a watch, especially because season 10 (filmed in 2024 and released in 2025) is exclusively about the Heidelberg fire department!

Last but not least: A rather curious event made it even to the front page of Reddit, and was later shortly cross-posted to r/Heidelberg - a bus in Heidelberg that went into labor.

Thank You!

Last, but not least, we want to thank each and every one of you for contributing to this subreddit. We wish you a happy new year and a great and eventful 2026.

Happy New Year,

More 2024 Highlights

Early in 2024, Heidelberg stood united against right-wing extremism, and protested with well over 10,000 people in downtown.

If you commute with your car, you might have realized that - after many years - the city finally upgraded some of their speed cameras.

One highlight about mid of this year was the passing of the retired submarine U17 on the Neckar river, on its way to the technical museum in Sinsheim.

In the 2024 European election, Heidelberg gave - as usual - strong support for the green party, making it one of the few places in Germany this year where "the greens" dominate. And speaking of green dominance: Heidelberg ranks place 53 of German cities in pavement coverage.

Last but not least, Heidelberg goes Lego! User u/Tralux21 designed the Heidelberg bridge gate using Lego bricks. Check it out if you want to bring a bit of Lego-Heidelberg-Feeling into your home.

More 2023 Highlights

Not directly in Heidelberg but close by, the bi-yearly German National Garden Show (Bundesgartenschau, or short BUGA) took place from April till October. Read here what will remain after the show has been shut down.

Interesting fact: This year, the city announced that people from 162 different nations are living in Heidelberg. What a colorful and culture-rich city we live in.

User u/rotwienetomate was surprised that our subreddit doesn't contain many funny posts. So he asked the community what the funniest thing was they experienced living here. The answers were quite interesting. Read for yourself!

At the end of the year, Heidelberg surprisngly appeared on TV as part of a Hallmark Christmas Movie: A Holiday in Heidelberg.

The list is shorter this year, did we miss something? Leave a comment with your personal highlight in or around Heidelberg!

Thank You!

Last, but not least, we want to thank each and every one of you for contributing to this subreddit. We wish you a happy new year and a great and eventful 2024.

Be creative!

What’s in it for me?

If you win, your artwork will be the featured as banner on our r/Heidelberg subreddit - for 3 months.

The winner this quarter will be awarded Reddit Platinum. This means you can use Reddit ad-free for a whole month!

2022 was a turbulent year for many of us, and so it's time to reflect what happened on r/Heidelberg throughout the year.

Subreddit Size

While we had about 26,000 subscribers at the beginning of 2022, this subreddit is now looking at almost 31,000 members - we grew over 15% within a year!

6. Alte Brücke by u/RyuNeko932000

More 2022 Highlights

The year started off with the horrible war in Ukraine, but even users in our subreddit tried to help, and find accomodation for the war refugees.

Unfortunately, we Heidelbergers also had to deal with our own bad event: The shooting in the Neuenheimer Feld, which terrified many of us, and was reported in the media all around Germany.

There is someone else that received a lot of attention mid of the year: Bert, the beautiful cat. If you haven't seen him yet, it's worth checking out his home - he got a 5-star review on Google.

Moving on, our city was highlighted by artist u/kplx__ with one of his famous Freitagsfliege drawings.

In autumn, the elections of a new mayor for Heidelberg took place. After a second round of voting, Prof. Dr. Eckart Würzner defended his position as mayor. You can find several AMAs (Ask Me Anything) of mayoral candidates, that our mod team organized in this subreddit.

Towards the end of the year, Heidelberg - in particular Bahnstadt, Weststadt, and Bergheim - got surprised with two evacuations, so that bombs found from the world war could be successfully defused.

2022 ends with a sweet story about a couple, Hermann and Anika from Heidelberg. They took a picture of a sauna house in Sweden, belonging to u/Wetwire98 - who posted the photo on our subreddit, asking if anyone knows Hermann and Anika. Sure enough one of the couple themselves, u/Coolalabaer, commented on the photo, and made it possible to connect. We live in a small world!

Thank You!

Running this subreddit and letting the community grow wouldn't work without a lot of support. So please give a big Thank You to u/erdnussbrot and u/PandalfTheWise for joining our mod team and taking care of this subreddit, together with the other mods.

Last, but not least, we want to thank each and every one of you for contributing to this subreddit. We wish you a happy new year and a great and eventful 2023.

This community has been growing a lot in 2020, and we now have over 6000 members in this sub. Here a quick recap of this year, including some highlights:

The most upvoted posts in 2020 were:

1. RNV just got a bit more likable crossposted by u/De_Sam_
2. First snow this Winter by u/hailtothefox
3. Comet Neowise over Heidelberg by u/alphaumi91

It has already been 11 months since the first post about Corona has been posted to this sub. I want to thank u/Hans-Adolf for creating a Heidelberg Discord Server to help keep the Heidelberg community connected during lockdown, and beyond.

Car manufacturer Porsche decided to use Heidelberg as scene in its this years super bowl commercial, and despite the Corona madness, many Heidelbergers supported the Black Lives Matter movement.

Also worth mentioning, it turned out that surprisingly Heidelberg has the highest subreddit size / population ratio of all cities in Germany.

Therefore, I want to thank each and every one of you for contributing to this sub. I hope you end this eventful year with a nice holiday break. But most importantly: Stay healthy!

Congratulations u/intellidumb! With 24 votes, you are the winner of the Heidelberg Artwork and Photo Contest Spring 2022!

u/intellidumb, your picture Sunset at the Castle will be featured for 3 months as banner on r/Heidelberg (starting today), and you will receive a Reddit Platinum award, which means you can use Reddit ad-free for a whole month.

For those who didn't win or want to participate in a future contest: Stay tuned! We will start a new contest in May which will be all about summer.

2. Morning Light by u/blba_zena
3. Alte Brücke Through Autumn Leaves by u/aceheartboy

u/indolentgirl describes their picture as following:

u/indolentgirl, your picture will be featured for 3 months as banner on r/Heidelberg, and you will receive a Reddit Platinum award, which means you can use Reddit ad-free for a whole month.

2021 was a special year for r/Heidelberg. While we still had around 6000 subscribers at the end of 2020, we are now home to almost 26000. That's 20000 more than 1 year ago - amazing!

More posts and users means more time and commitment to maintenance. Therefore, I'm grateful for the support from u/Hans-Adolf (who also happens to be the Heidelberg Discord admin) and u/Parzival_500g. Both joined the moderator team this year, making sure this subreddit continues to be a nice and interesting place for Heidelbergers and people all around the world. Give them a round of applause!

Here are some highlights from this year:

Most upvoted posts in 2021:

This year we started something new: The r/Heidelberg artwork contest! After several great submissions and positive feedback from the community, we will host this contest now once every quarter! Check out the submissions and winners of our 2 contests so far:

1. r/Heidelberg Artwork and Photo Contest! (theme "autumn") with the winning photo Falling for Heidelberg by u/indolentgirl
2. Get Your Artwork Featured on r/Heidelberg! (theme "winter") with the winning photo Winter Trees of Heidelberg by u/mrh126

The next contest will be hosted in February 2022.

Heidelberg has also become famous in the digital world. Thanks to u/LavaIngot the Heidelberg castle and parts of the city have been built 1:1 in Minecraft, as part of the BTE Germany project.

In 2020 we hosted our first AMAs (Ask Me Anything), featuring Daniel Al-Kayal of SPD, Chantal Graßelt of Volt, and Sahra Mirow of DIE LINKE for the Landtagswahl. We also had an AMA from u/itstugi, answering all questions about the Bürgerentscheid Ankunftszentrum Heidelberg.

Last, but not least, we want to thank each and every one of you for contributing to this subreddit. We wish you a happy new year and a great and eventful 2022.

But most importantly: Stay healthy, and protect yourself and others!
