Naturally good from the Kurpfalz
This is where the animals live — the ones that don't bite — and the artificial plants you never have to water. Living decor (minus the actual living part) right in Heidelberg's old town.
Our charming outdoor courtyard sits right in Heidelberg's old town, inside the souvenir shop on the Hauptstraße. Animal figures ranging from the tiny ladybird and beloved pets like dogs and cats, all the way up to the majestic stag. Artificial plants that need zero watering, plus garden decor that survives every season. The only thing around here that gets more selfies is the Schloss. Real plants die the moment you leave for holiday. Real animals need the bathroom, and somehow that becomes your problem too. Our range spares you both, which is honestly quite decent of us.

Surrounded by centuries of history, you'll find the modern pearls, centuries of history.
The Postcard Dilemma
Liselotte von der Pfalz wrote over 60,000 letters to her relatives from Versailles. And you haven't even sent your gran a postcard? No worries, our souvenir shops have got you covered.
Students Since 1386
Heidelberg University was founded in 1386. That means students here have spent over 600 years perfecting highly creative excuses for why they simply cannot make it to the morning lecture.
Perkeo & The Great Barrel
The great barrel in the Schloss held 220,000 litres of wine. When the court jester Perkeo was asked whether he could empty it on his own, he simply replied: "Perché no?" (Why not?). Heidelberg pragmatism at its finest. Three centuries later he's still making the rounds in popular culture: in Balatro, the award-winning card video game, Perkeo is one of five legendary Jokers. Some careers just never end.
