•Bismarckstraße is one of the oldest streets in the city of Ludwigshafen am Rhein. It is located in the Mitte district and therefore belongs to the Southern Downtown district. Bismarckstrasse begins at Berliner Platz and from there runs parallel to the Rhine in a northerly direction to Rathausplatz. It was laid out in the middle of the 19th century, when Ludwigshafen was founded, as one of the city's most important business and traffic streets and developed into a magnificent boulevard. The street has been named after the German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck since 1885. Most of the sophisticated buildings there, most of which date from the Wilhelminian era, were destroyed by air raids in the Second World War. That's why Bismarckstrasse is now dominated by newer commercial buildings that were built from the 1950s onwards. The street between Kaiser-Wilhelm-Straße and Rathausplatz is a pedestrian zone. The Ludwigshafen City Library is located in the building with numbers 44–48, and the headquarters of the Ludwigshafen Art Association are located in the rear building, the “Mayor-Ludwig-Reichert-Haus”.

•The Pfalzbau is a theatre and concert hall with regional importance. The Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz keeps its own symphonic orchestra, and there is a production company that stages operas 25 nights per year. In the Hemshof district, there are smaller theatres playing regional dialect plays.

The Wilhelm-Hack-Museum is the municipal art museum, with collections spanning from ancient to contemporary art. It is known for the emblematic Miró mural covering an entire façade, called the "Miró Wall" (Miró-Wand in German). The mural is a work of art by the Spanish artist Joan Miró, with the collaboration of his long-time colleague, the ceramist, Joan Gardy Artigas, and is made of 7,200 ceramic tiles. It has been subject to degradation due to air pollution since it was installed in 1979.
