Experience the Magic of the Heidelberg Castle Illumination 2025 – An Evening of Romance and Delight
Be enchanted by the mesmerizing castle illumination, where the historic Heidelberg Castle is bathed in a breathtaking display of lights. On June 7, 2025, around 10:15 PM, Bengal lights will slowly immerse the castle in a mysterious red glow, as if the ruins were burning once more in their long history. Just like in 1689 and 1693, when the troops of King Louis XIV of France set the castle and the city ablaze, leaving behind the world-famous ruins we see today. As the glowing castle gradually fades, the second part of the spectacle begins – the brilliant fireworks over the Neckar River. To properly welcome his newlywed wife, Elizabeth Stuart, Elector Friedrich V. orchestrated a grand firework display in 1613. This firework laid the foundation for the spectacular light shows that now illuminate Heidelberg's night sky.
