Mannheim is an industrial town. But when you visit the Luisenpark, you think you're in nature. You meet lots of animals, you can visit the plant exhibiton hall or just find a quiete place on one of the lawns.

Hello, I shall be staying for 5 days in MANNHEIM mid' NOvember and I would like to find out, please:
1. What is the weather like? Rainy? Cold? Freezing?
2. Is there a rather centrally situated Public Laundrette (with coins) that anyone could use? Where? (+ - Near Holliday INN)?
3. Are buses running on Sunday just like during the week?
Thank you a lot for your answers. BEST! G
1. Maybe. No way to predict the weather six weeks in advance. Prepare for everything.
3. Buses, trams, train run on a different (and usually somewhat limited) timetable on Sundays. BTW, the Saturday timetable is also different from the Monday to Friday one.
7°C on Nov 15th, 10°C and fog on Nov 16th, rain and 11°C on the 17th, and Nov 18th will be the worst day with hail, wind, rain and only 6°C...
Really, how should anybody know this???
In general November is not a good month to travel in Germany, often foggy and grey skies, especially in such areas a big river like the Rhine. But if you are lucky you will see the sun.
Yes, and as Kathrin said, different timetables on Sundays - less buses running, significantly less in some areas.
Trying to predict the weather can be difficult because of local on the day variations.
This information should be used as a guide only.
Here is the average weather for Mannheim for this time of year.
Enjoy your holiday.
November.
High 47f / 8c
Low 36f / 2c

Try this for your lauundromat.

Blick ins Unsichtbare – glance into the unseen - that’s the title of an exhibition, which is hosted in the State Museum of Technique and Work. As the title says, it is an exhibition about the “microscopic” world, down to the proportions of nanometers. 1 nanometer is the 1.000.000.000 part of a meter, or, as they describe very pictoral on the museum HP: the diameter of a hazelnut compared to Earth diameter.
They show the world of microscopy from Leeuwenhoek’s first microscope he used end of 17th century (not the original, but a replica on display) to the most modern high performance microscopes of todays’ researchers.
There is a very nice and hands-on explanatiory section about optics, how lenses and prismas work, and a glance in the world of “nanomaterial”, i.e. some high-tech clothes (functional textiles), microchip technology, etc.
The highlight for me were the blow-up SEM (scanning electron microscopy, high resolution microscopy) pictures of all kind of nature elements, plants, ice, rocks, and animals, parasites.
Eye of Science, biologist Nicole Ottowa and photographer Oliver Meckes display around 40 fantastic pictures of their view of the micro world. They have a special technique to prepare the objects for photography, which is explained in a videosession (don’t miss to listen to this, it is fascinating!). These two have been awarded several times, also with the World Press Award.
See their website Eye of Science for more of their pictures and work.
This exhibition is running until January 7, 2007, so still half a year from now. If you are interested in these things, make sure you won’t miss it.
The museum is open Tuesday and Thursday 9-17, Wednesday 9-20, Saturday and Sunday 10-18.
Admission fee: 3 €
Bootshaus is the location, where you have to go when you wanna be in a fancy restaurant. It is built over the garage of the Amicitia rowing club. In 2006 they made the balcony a bit bigger. So there is enough place outside and inside to take a beer, to eat a delicious salad or some other fancy meals. Sunday morning they offer a brunch.
Visit the Luisenpark! It's a beautiful park with lots of flowers, birds, squirrels, butterflies, fish, playing grounds, seats to take a break, restaurants,...
Don't forget some nuts or bread for the ducks, the squirrels and the storks. You really can feed them there. They take the bread out of your hands.
Mannheim is an industrial place. When you make a walk in the park, you forget being in an industrial place, a perfect place for relaxing for all ages!
In the end of juin, there is always a big festival with music, food and fireworks
In 1952 the statue of a large angel was created by the sculptor Gerhard Marcks. He called it Friedensengel - Angel for Peace. It was supposed to be a memorial for all people who died a violent death in the years of the Nazi reign, from 1933 to 1945.
The angel was standing next to the Jesuit church, one of the touristic spots of Mannheim.
But in 1983 the city council of Mannheim once again proved their difficulty concerning memorials and had the angel moved to another location, E6 . While this is a nice street, it is definitely not a touristic hot spot, and so this angel is hardly noticed today.
In 1997 a separate memorial was put up for the Sinti murdered under Hitler's reign. This memorial, a dark block of stone, is right next to the angel, equally overlooked by most people.
