It was fortified and chartered in 1606-7. In 1720 the city became the residence of the electors palatine (see Palatinate ), who built (1720-60) a large palace and held a brilliant court there. Elector Charles Theodore made (late 18th cent.) Mannheim one of the great musical and theatrical centers of Europe.
