Mosbach is a market town in the valley of the river Neckar, a tributary of the Rhine in southern Germany, lying 25 miles south east of Heidelberg and 35 miles north of Stuttgart. The town is surrounded by beautiful countryside with rolling hills, forest and steep-sided river valleys. To the east is the forested area known as the Odenwald.
Dating back to Roman times, Mosbach has a medieval quarter with many impressive half-timbered houses. In the 16th century, guilds such as the weavers, bakers, millers, tanners, cutlers and coopers increased the importance of the town. These trades are reflected in street names and signs on some of the old houses. Today the town has industries including shoe manufacture, as well as retail and service sectors. The population is around 24,000 but Mosbach is the administrative centre for the larger population of the wider local area and so it enjoys a full range of community facilities. Mosbach celebrates a Spring Festival on the second weekend in May as well as a ‘Mosbacher Sommer’ programme of activities. There is a twice-weekly market, held in the main square. Exchange visits to MosbachOur twinning link with Mosbach dates back to 1996 (signing in Lymington) and 1997 (signing in Mosbach). LITA members visit Mosbach to stay with our host families and welcome them to stay with us in Lymington in alternate years. We go to Mosbach in odd-number years; and they visit us in even-number years. A group travel together, flying from Heathrow to Frankfurt where we are collected by coach by our hosts whilst some members travel independently to extend their time in Germany.
