Park Island (Parkinsel)
The Parkinsel in the south of Ludwigshafen is a green oasis between the arms of the Rhine and one of the loveliest residential and recreation areas in the city. Spacious villas, mature trees and riverside paths characterise the quiet island setting right by the river. Every summer the Parkinsel becomes the stage for the Festival of German Film, which draws filmmakers and audiences from across the country to a purpose-built tent city by the water. Beyond the festival, too, paths, meadows and the Rhine bank invite visitors to stroll, jog and linger.
A green oasis on the Rhine
The Parkinsel in the south of Ludwigshafen is a green oasis between the arms of the Rhine and is regarded as one of the loveliest residential and recreation areas in the city. Spacious villas, mature trees and quiet riverside paths characterise the calm island setting right by the river. The contrast with the industrial city could hardly be greater, which is why the island enjoys a special reputation among locals.
Festival of German Film
Every summer the Parkinsel becomes the stage for the renowned Festival of German Film. In a purpose-built tent city by the water, filmmakers and audiences from across the country come together to experience premieres and selected productions. The mix of open-air cinema, Rhine backdrop and summery atmosphere makes the festival a highlight of the Ludwigshafen events calendar.
Tips for your visit
Outside the festival season too, paths, meadows and the Rhine bank invite visitors to stroll, jog and linger. Especially lovely is a walk along the water as the freight ships glide past and the sun stands over the river. Since this is a quiet residential area, you should respect the atmosphere and enjoy the island for what it is: a place of retreat.
