Over the years, Heidelberg’s beauty has drawn a number of poets, painters and scientists. In the early 19th century, the city on the Neckar became the most important centre of German Late Romanticism. Inextricably linked with this epoch are the poets Arnim, Brentano, Goethe and Eichendorff.

The Ruprecht-Karls University of Heidelberg is the oldest university in Germany. The respected CHE research ranking of 2009/10 named Heidelberg as the strongest research university in Germany. In the QS World University Ranking 2012/2013, the University of Heidelberg, together with the Technical University of Munich, achieved the highest position among the German universities. In June 2012, the university’s elite status was en-dorsed through the Excellence Initiative of Federal and Regional State Governments. In the CHE 2013 ranking of German univer-sities, Heidelberg was awarded first place for such disciplines as medicine.

Many monuments bear witness to the Neckar city’s diverse history. Sitting approximately 70 metres above the river Neckar, the city’s landmark, the elector’s castle, rises from the slope of Königstuhl, on its very own mountain. Its ruins are among one of the most impressive sights to behold on any tour of Germany. Visitors climbing up to the castle first pass through the gate into the famous “Hortus Palatinus” garden, created at the beginning of the 17th century. From the castle garden, there is a wonderful view of Heidelberg, including the Philosopher’s Walk, which lies on the opposite bank of the Neckar. Fascinating buildings that date back to a variety of epochs surround the inner court-yard. Situated in the Royal Wine Cellar is the world’s largest barrel, which was once filled with wine. It has rarely failed to impress – except in the case of Perkeo, the barrel’s gnome-like guard. Once, when asked if he could drink the barrel dry, his answer was a nonchalant “Perché no” - why not? – which is how he came to earn his name.

The baroque townhouses and their ornamental facades and portals are a striking feature of any walk round the Old Town. The heart of the Old Town is the market place, with the Evangelical church of the Holy Ghost and the grand renais-sance building “Zum Ritter”. Leading away from the church of the Holy Ghost are many old alleyways lined with pubs and restaurants. Spanning the Neckar is the Old Bridge, one of the most beautiful stone bridges in Germany.

Heidelberg - City of Romanticism and Science

4 5


Not far from University Square is the Jesuit church. Built in the early 18th century and adorned with several figures of the Virgin Mary and saints, the church is the Old Town’s symbol of Catholicism regaining its foothold in Heidelberg following the upheaval of the Thirty Years War and the Palatinate War of Succession. The wooded hills around Heidelberg cloak the city in a handsome green. The surrounding area, which includes the Neckar valley castles, the German wine route, ancient cultivated landscape along the Upper Rhine and the Odenwald mountains, offers a wealth of experiences waiting to be enjoyed. Proximity to Frankfurt, Karlsruhe and Stuttgart airports means Heidelberg is easily accessible to its guests from all over the world.

The name Heidelberg stands not only for tradition and romanticism, but also for a modern and world-class location for science and business. Thus, the tradition-steeped university, the Academy of Sciences, the German Cancer Research Centre (DKFZ), five Max Planck institutes, the European Laboratory for Molecular Biology (EMBL), the Print Media Academy of Heidelberger Druckmaschinen, the SAS Institute and several research cen-tres belonging to international companies are all located in Hei-delberg. Such a concentration of the sciences is unparalleled in Germany and forms the basis for a dynamic, science-orientated economy that elevates Heidelberg – despite a population of just 150,000 – to its position as one of Germany’s leading economic centres.

Heidelberg is also one of Germany’s leading cultural centres, as demonstrated by its wealth of museums and theatres. To-gether with the neighbouring cities in the Rhine-Neckar metro-politan area (Mannheim, Ludwigshafen, Speyer, Schwetzingen and Worms, to name the most important), Heidelberg offers a large variety of nationally significant cultural events: •Heidelberg Castle Festival•International Film Festival Mannheim-Heidelberg •Heidelberg Theatre Festival •Heidelberg Literature Festival•Heidelberg Spring Festival •Heidelberg “Stückemarkt” Theatre and Drama Festival•Festival of German Film •Mannheim Summer Mozart Festival •Schwetzingen Castle Festival•Niebelungen Festival•International Schiller Festival •International Street Theatre Festival Ludwigshafen •Photography Festival Mannheim Ludwigshafen Heidelberg •Enjoy Jazz, International Festival for Jazz and more •Ludwigshafen Festival

Heidelberg, once the capital of the Palatinate and the spiritual centre of Calvinism, lies in the lovely Neckar valley and is distinguished by its particu-larly mild climate.

F+U Academy of Languages

The school building offers fantastic views of the Old Town, the castle and into the Neckar valley.

Today, the F+U Academy of Languages is one of the largest language schools in Germany. Approximately 9,000 language learners and exam candidates a year participate in the language courses and examinations. Every year, learners come from over 100 countries to participate in the German courses. Thanks to its internationality, the school offers a unique opportunity to get to know people and their various languages and cultures, and to practise freshly acquired language skills, whether dur-ing break-time conversations in the corridors or in the school’s atrium, or while participating in the cultural and sporting activi-ties offered every day. With 50 multimedia-equipped classrooms (up to 70 in summer), 3 Internet rooms with 50 PCs, free Internet access and WiFi, and a central location in Heidelberg, the Academy of Languages offers everything to ensure that the language learning experi-ence in Heidelberg is an exceptional one. Several halls of residence with around 430 rooms, apartments, a school-owned hotel and several host families offer year-round accommodation to learners arriving from all over the world. Specialising in German as a foreign language, the F+U Acad-emy of Languages is one of the world leaders in the provision of German courses, whether in the form of intensive lessons in the mornings and afternoons, or extra-occupational evening courses.

As an international test centre, the Academy of Languages stands for exceptional quality in language teaching. Alongside the best-known assessments such as TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language) and TestDaF (Test Deutsch als Fremd-sprache) the language institute offers the following examina-tions: Zertifikat Deutsch, Zertifikat Deutsch für den Beruf, TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication), LCCI (London Chamber of Commerce and Industry) exams, TELC (The European Language Certificates), ECDL (the European Computer Driving Licence), TestAS (aptitude assessment for international applicants for higher education) and OnDaF (online language assessment).Through its partnership with the long-established Institut de Français IF2, the Academy of Languages is also a provider of nationally significant French courses. The IF2 licensed centre for the French DELF and DALF exams is located in the F+U premises.

The intensive and evening courses are offered year round and are attended by employees of international companies and research institutes such as SAP, Lufthansa, Heidelberger Druck-maschinen, Heidelberger Zement, Siemens, Daimler, NEC, Heipha, Brunel, BASF, EMBL, HITS, the DKFZ, Heidelberg University and many more businesses and scientific institutes.

Of particular significance is the Vocational College for For-eign Languages, founded in 2004, which offers the opportunity to study full time towards the following state recognised quali-fications: Fremdsprachenkorrespondent/in (Foreign Language Correspondence Clerk), Europasekretär/in (European Secre-tary), Welthandelskorrespondent/in (Multilingual Correspond-ence Clerk) and Translator. F+U is the only education provider in the country to offer state recognised vocational language train-ing for Japanese. Recognised status has also been awarded for Chinese, English, French, Spanish and Russian.

The F+U Academy of Languages offers internship programmes including “Eurodyssée” and “Leonardo da Vinci”. These internship programmes give young people from approximately 40 European regions the chance to participate in a language course abroad in either another European country or in Heidel-berg, followed by a commercial internship.

The Academy of Languages rounds off its range of courses with the organisation of language tours.
