In which German town is SAP SE's headquarters located?

The story behind the answer

SAP SE's headquarters is located in Walldorf, Germany.

SAP was founded in 1972 by five former IBM employees: Dietmar Hopp, Hasso Plattner, Claus Wellenreuther, Hans-Werner Hector, and Klaus Tschira. The software company established its headquarters in Walldorf, a town in Baden-Württemberg near Heidelberg. From there, SAP grew into one of the world's leading enterprise-software companies.

Walldorf is sometimes confused with Heidelberg because Heidelberg is the best-known nearby city and a major regional landmark. SAP's campus is specifically in Walldorf, and the company's name comes from its original German name, Systemanalyse und Programmentwicklung. SAP's software helps organizations manage finance, supply chains, human resources, and other business operations.
