Mike’s notes

The Rhein-Neckar tram network is how Heidelberg, Mannheim, Ludwigshafen, and the nearby towns behave like one rail region instead of separate small city maps.

For Heidelberg, the important traveler use is simple: train station to Bismarckplatz/old-town edge, university-side movement, and the local towns if you are staying longer. The old town itself is still a walking place.

This is a practical German regional tram network, which is exactly why it works.
