Heidelberg

• Like most of German cities, Heidelberg was developed by one of the feudal lords during the medieval period. Apparently, he thought his prestige was measured by the size of his wine barrel. Click here to see the barrel.

• This old structure tells how old this city is.

• This city is built along the Neckar River which flows to the Rhine River.

  4. I met these young students while appreciting the view of the city. They spoke English, but I forgot where they came from.

     Young ladies always enhance the landscape, as you know.

• The University of Heidelberg is associated with many history-malking persons, including
  1. Georg W. F. Hegel
  2. Dmitri Mendelev
  3. Arnold Toynbee

• I received my PhD degree from Princeton in 1961, seven years after high school graduation in 1954. This means that I did much of the ground work for the degree during my high school years.
