It is known in the region because of an Agrochemical Center of the world's largest chemical company BASF, which has its headquarters in Ludwigshafen.
In 1035 the King of the Saliers Konrad II gave the land around Schifferstadt to the Limburg Abbey, near Bad Dürkheim.
In 1664 Elector Karl Ludwig settled two Mennonite families from Switzerland in Kohlhof, which is still part of Limburgerhof.
In 1826 Graf Waldner von Freundstein bought the estate on the crossroads between Mannheimer Weg and the Mainz to Speyer road that Francois Biechy established in 1807.
Two of these buildings that he constructed are still here: the small castle in classicist style and the three-storey tower in the park.
The recent development has run parallel to industrial growth in Ludwigshafen and is connected with the construction of the railway to Saarbrücken by Paul von Denis in the middle of the 19th century.
Limburgerhof is ideal because of its excellent transport links and high living standard and many leisure opportunities.
