The city centre of Ludwigshafen is comparatively small and dominated by post-war buildings. Its northern and southern boundaries are the Hochstraßen (highways on stilts), the Rhine is in the East and the [[Ludwigshafen (Rhein) Hauptbahnhof|main station]] is located in the West of downtown Ludwigshafen, at a walking distance of about 15 minutes from the central pedestrian precinct ''Bismarckstraße'' that forms, together with the shopping mile ''Ludwigsstraße'', the main North-South Axis, connecting the so-called “North Pole” with the ''Rathaus Center'' and the “South Pole” with Berliner Platz, the Walzmühle shopping centre and [[Ludwigshafen (Rhein) Mitte station]]. The main east–west connections are the ''Bahnhofsstraße'' and ''Kaiser-Wilhelm-Straße''. The Pfalzbau, Staatsphilharmonie, Wilhelm-Hack-Museum and the half-destroyed monument [[Lutherkirche, Wiesbaden|Lutherkirche]] are main features of downtown Ludwigshafen.
