I must agree with ICOMOS: Heidelberg as an historic town has none universal value worth considering, but as a university town, paired with other university towns in Baden-Württemberg and Hessen, I can see another successful declaration for Germany. Heidelberg is nice, but I personally prefer other university towns, such as Freiburg or Marburg (I lived in this last one.) The university buildings are well conserved, and this feeling the students give to the city, is what really makes it special. I see potential here, lets hope the germans see it too.
