... to the only underground part of Mannheim's tram network, the Dalberg-Tunnel.

Remains

A turntable bridge in Mannheim's port area. Obviously already in use before the tram line that ran across it was removed - sometime in the late 60s or so.

New Mall

(click to enlarge)

They're building yet another mall in Ludwigshafen, the "Rhine Gallery". The same company building this, ECE, already owns one just off to the right a bit back. Oh, and there's another one in the background there. Not that anyone would voluntarily leave their money in Ludwigshafen. Right now, they're loosing 87% (!) of their consumer cashflow to neighboring Mannheim. Disastrous for a city of 167,000.

Ugliest Station

... in the region anyway. Neulußheim train station, built in 1985. At some point they gave up replacing the smashed windows, and instead just fit wooden boards in their place.
