Endless Prospects
„Endless prospects“ for businesses in the true sense of the word – that’s what the Zweckverband Interkommunales Gewerbe- und Industriegebiet Heidelberg-Leimen (Special-Purpose District Inter-Municipal Commercial and Industrial Area Heidelberg-Leimen), spanning municipality land of two communities, has to offer! Founded on January 1, 2021, the two cities Heidelberg and Leimen decided on the joint development and marketing of the Special-Purpose District’s territory, covering about 100 ha. Boasting excellent connections to regional and national transport, this commercial and industrial area is located in a region promising ideal prospects within Europe. Consequently, demand for these attractive commercial and industrial areas is high. If you are interested, please don’t hesitate to get in touch! We look forward to a successful cooperation.
Best regards,
Hans D. Reinwald, Mayor of Leimen
President of the Special-Purpose District

To us, it is important that you work in a future-oriented and sustainable way and are part of a productive and creative environment.
We Explore New Horizons!
Attracting companies with a CO2 neutral production, in particular from the building material and the modern building material recycling industry, is just as important to us as supplying the Special-Purpose District’s territory with renewable energies.

By building a new connecting road, we optimize transport links on the Special-Purpose District’s territory.
We value green mobility! Climate-friendly means of transport like bikes, streetcars or suburban trains will take you to work in the future.

Historic Legacy
Designed by the architect Neufert, the former production halls of Etex are landmarked and the only ones of their kind that still exist in Germany. Apart from Etex, Heidelberg Materials, today a company with international standing, has had a strong influence on the development of the Special-Purpose District from the beginning. Abandoned wasteland creates new opportunities to shape the commercial and industrial area in a future-oriented way and to offer attractive areas for businesses.
As planning body of the Special-Purpose District’s territory, the Zweckverband Interkommunales Gewerbe- und Industriegbiet Heidelberg-Leimen (Special-Purpose District Inter-Municipal Commercial and Industrial Area Heidelberg-Leimen) takes over these tasks for the Cities of Heidelberg and Leimen based on a binding urban development plan.
Making use of already existing planning and buildings as a basis, a joint commercial and industrial area will be developed and reorganized, in particular its settlement structure, use and development, where indicated by urban development. Special emphasis lies on taking into account environmental issues as well as the interests of local businesses.
By attracting sustainable and innovative companies with research facilities, particularly from the building material industry as well from the medical technology industry, the Economy Park will be a strong business area offering numerous and diverse job opportunities.
Excellent infrastructure, modern offices, varied free time activities, social services, an attractive neighborhood and a lively community – the Economy Park will plan and develop a viable, sustainable and integrated work environment in one of Europe’s strongest economic regions.
The PR agency responsible for developing the Special-Purpose District’s logo used for its marketing presence was inspired by the Eternit hall’s landmarked saw-tooth roofs.
Six qualified planning agencies have three days to create an urban development concept for the Special-Purpose District’s territory as part of a so-called cooperative planning process.
