Rebuilding of the city began industriously. [[Mannheim Palace]] and the [[Mannheim Water Tower|water tower]] (''Wasserturm'') eventually were rebuilt and the [[National Theatre Mannheim|National Theatre]] was replaced by a new building at a new location. At the old location, there is a monument to [[Friedrich Schiller]] and the ''Zum Zwischen-Akt'' pub. The housing shortage led to the development of many new residential areas.

In 1964, the City Hospital (''Städtisches Krankenhaus'') became part of the [[Heidelberg University Faculty of Medicine in Mannheim|Heidelberg University for Clinical Medicine in Mannheim]]. In 1967, the [[University of Mannheim]] was established in the city.

In 1975, the [[Bundesgartenschau]] (''Federal horticulture show'') was celebrated in [[Luisenpark|Luisen]] and Herzogenried parks. A number of pieces of infrastructure were developed for the show: the [[Fernmeldeturm Mannheim|telecommunications tower]] and a second bridge across the Rhine (the [[:de:Kurt-Schumacher-Brücke (Mannheim)|Kurt Schumacher Bridge]]) were built, the pedestrian zone was established, the new Rosengarten conference centre was opened and the [[Aerobus]] was installed as a temporary transport system.

A number of major projects were completed in the 1980s and 1990s: a planetarium, an extension to the art gallery, the new Reiß Museum, Stadthaus, a new [[Mannheim May Market|May Market]] ground, synagogue, mosque, [[Technoseum|State Museum for Technology and Work]], [[Carl-Benz-Stadion|Carl-Benz stadium]] and the Fahrlach tunnel were opened.

Mannheim has lost many industrial jobs, although in the recent past, the city was economically dominated by manufacturing. The city tried in the past to prevent the establishment of service providers by designating some locations as industrial areas. A prime example of the current trend is the construction of the Victoria Tower (Victoria-Turm) in 2001, one of the tallest buildings in the city, on railway land.
