The first mention of Hedelfingen was “only“ in the year 1246, but it is established that the location was settled before that time. During Roman times, the “Venetian Trade Route” ran through Hedelfingen with the complete traffic between Amsterdam and Venice. For centuries Hedelfingen was also the car port of the Thurn und Taxis Post. For a long time, mainly small farmers and vine dressers lived there. Hedelfingen was suburbanised on the 1st of April, 1922. Today, a large part of the Neckarhafen built in the 50s belongs to Hedelfingen because of the convenient position of the town at the Neckar. They always stayed loyal to wine and fruit growing though. Hedelfingen as well as the district of Rohracker manage their vine dresser, together. Besides  wine tasting, the historic Friedhofskirche is well worth a visit. Its oldest parts are from the 13th century. In 1966, remarkably well preserved mural paintings from the 5th century were discovered during renovation works in the nave and choir. The inhabitants of Rohracker are to this day called “Welschkorneber” as the “Welschkorn” – sweet corn – was formerly grown here and formed part of most meals. Rohracker also has a chapel worth seeing. The Bernhardskirche was built in the 15th century and converted to the Baroque style in the 17th century. During renovations in this century, the late Gothic form was restored. Private links about Hedelfingen.
