Boxberg - forest park settlement and district of Heidelberg

The Boxberg is a relatively new district of Heidelberg. It is between 210 and 270 m above sea level. NN in the south of Heidelberg on the western slope of the Königstuhl massif above Heidelberg-Rohrbach, north of the Emmertsgrund district . It has an area of 54 hectares and extends 1350 m in north-south direction and 600 m in east-west direction. The Boxberg was initially a clearing carried out by the then still independent municipality Rohrbach (today the Rohrbach district ), which was used for agriculture and bordered by forest in the east. The tree line still runs along the “Am Waldrand” road. In 1930 a forest sports field was laid out there, where the sports facility of the TB Rohrbach-Boxberg is located today.

The planning for the forest park settlement Boxberg began in the 1950s and included the meadow land and parts of the adjacent forest. The Boxberg area was already designated as a residential area in the zoning plan of 1957. The development plan was approved by the local council on April 28, 1960. The specifications were to create apartments for 6,000 inhabitants with the necessary infrastructure without disturbing the basic features of the landscape: higher-storey apartments were built in the forest area and single-family houses on the meadows facing Rohrbach. In October 1962 the first tenants moved into the apartments in the houses at the forest source.
