The town is surrounded by wonderful scenery, has a good infrastructure and is easily accessed from other places. Meckesheim is an aspirational modern town with fascinating highlights from times gone by. It lies about 700 metres north-east of Meckesheim’s historic centre – the ruins of St. Martin’s chapel, which was built in the 7th or 8th century and is open for visitors throughout the year. Visit the house in Meckesheim where Prof. Ferdinand Adolf Kehrer carried out the first conservative classical Caesarian section. This was in 1881, and the mother of course came from Meckesheim. Kehrer is considered to be the father of all modern Caesareans. For those looking for some fun and exercise, the
alla hopp! Fitness Space is worth a visit. It is close to the town centre, but completely surrounded by nature. The fitness space is always accessible, and free of charge, so all generations can spend time there as often as they want, keeping fit and unwinding.
