In the 1960s the university started building a new campus near the city district Neuenheim, called the Neuenheimer Feld. It is today the largest part of the university, and the largest campus for natural sciences and life science in Germany.<ref name="Eitel1" /> Almost all science faculties and institutes, the medical school, [[University Hospital Heidelberg]], and the science branch of the University Library are situated on the New Campus. Most of the dormitories and the athletic facilities of the university can be found there as well.

Several independent research institutes, such as the [[German Cancer Research Center]] and two of the [[Max Planck Society|Max-Planck-Institutes]] have settled there. The New Campus is also the seat of several biomedical spin-off companies. The old part of town can be reached by tram and bus in about 10&nbsp;minutes. The Neuenheimer Feld campus has extensive parking lots for faculty and student vehicles for long term and short term parking, as well as visitors and patients of the various university hospitals. The Faculty of Physics and Astronomy is not located on either campus, but on the [[Heidelberg#Philosophers' Walk|Philosophers' Walk]], separated from the Old Town by the River Neckar, and some {{convert|2|km|mi|abbr=on}} away from the New Campus. It also maintains observatory facilities on the [[Königstuhl (Odenwald)|Königstuhl Mountain]].<ref name="map" />
