MARCHIVUM - Mannheim's Archive, House of City History and Remembrance

The institution's beginnings date back to 1907, when it was founded by Mannheim's first city archivist Friedrich Walter. Having evolved from the Stadtarchiv Mannheim - Institut für Stadtgeschichte, the MARCHIVUM has now been located in Mannheim's Neckarstadt-West since 2018. Going beyond the core tasks of a municipal archive, the MARCHIVUM is the central point of contact for exploring Mannheim's city history. The interactive permanent exhibition "Typically Mannheim!" brings it to life in a multimedia way. Meanwhile, a varied programme of lectures illuminates individual episodes of the city's history.
