Overview

The 22nd Leverkusen History Festival took place on Heritage Day 2025 at Villa Römer. Lectures, city tours, market of opportunities, and concerts – the annual civic festival of Leverkusen's history and monument preservation. Leverkusen's annual response to Heritage Day at Villa Römer in Opladen.
