the romantic town on the river Neckar whose “position and surroundings has, you might

say, something quite ideal,” as Goethe himself said long ago.

Year after year, millions of people come from all over the world to Heidelberg. Its unique

blend of the romantic, the academic and the cultural draws tourists and business travel-

lers alike. This very special atmosphere has seen Heidelberg also develop into one of the

most popular towns for conferences and congresses over the last few years.

Whether you want something historical, stylish, elegant, futuristic or more offbeat, Hei-

delberg can offer you premium venues with unique design concepts, all against an incre-

dible backdrop: the Heidelberg trio of the river, the old town and the castle. Heidelberg

is a popular conference and congress destination for event organisers from a number of

different sectors – however, its real specialism is the academic world. In Heidelberg, town

and gown are closely interwoven and have been for several hundred years – since Germany’s oldest university Ruperto

Carola was first founded here in 1386. Today Heidelberg is considered a stronghold for Life Sciences; the university, the

European Molecular Biology Laboratory, the German Cancer Research Centre and the Heidelberg Max Planck Institute

are all amongst the best in the world for fundamental research.

For smaller and medium-sized conferences, the town offers a broad range of venues – from the Kongresshaus in the old

town to the world-famous castle and the 21st century style of the futuristic Think Tank of the Print Media Academy – or

venues with an industrial feel such as the HalleO2 in the former goods station. The flagship of Heidelberg’s conference

and convention venues is the Kongresshaus Stadthalle Heidelberg.

I look forward to seeing you here!

Yours, Sinika Müller

EXCLUSIVE CONVENTIONS IN A HISTORICAL AMBIANCE

The flagship of the Heidelberg convention and congress

locations: the Kongresshaus Stadthalle Heidelberg. Thir-

teen function rooms provide 2500 square meters of

floor space for conventions, congresses and events for

10 to 1250 people. With its sumptuous, late 19th cen-

tury architecture and flashes of art nouveau brilliance,

the Kongresshaus forms a stunning backdrop for con-

ventions, congresses, balls, banquets, receptions, and

concerts. While the Großer Saal with its broad sweeping

gallery is the jewel in the crown, smaller rooms such as

the Ballsaal or the Kammermusiksaal are also historical

gems in their own right. The Kongresshaus is nowadays

equipped with the latest audio, projection, lighting and

communication technology. An in-house catering team

serves international specialties, fine regional cuisine and

hearty snacks.

Kongresshaus historisch:

❙ Opened as a festival venue for the city’s residents in 1903 to mark the 100th an-niversary of the University Reform

❙ Style: Neoclassical architec-ture from the turn of the century

❙ 1945-1951 Occupied by the Americans. Establishment of a Special Service Center

❙ 1980 The Stadthalle is granted protection as an architectural monument, restored, and renamed the Kongresshaus Stadthalle Heidelberg

❙ 1999 Extensive restoration and renovation

The Kongresshaus is a house with history. It was dedi-

cated as a gathering and festival building for the city‘s

residents on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of

the University Reform in 1903. Ideally situated within

the Old Town, the Kongresshaus sits right on the banks

of the River Neckar with hotels, restaurants and attrac-

tions such as the Old Bridge or the famous castle just a

few minutes away.

No wonder that conventions in Heidelberg are conside-

red the “Congresses of short distances”. Directly in front

of the entrance, the boats of the “Weisse Flotte” provide

a really special extension area for very large gatherings.

Romance meets Science – it is this mixture that makes

Heidelberg such a unique venue for international and

national conventions and congresses.

STADTHALLE HEIDELBERGCATERING

As part of its marketing of the Stadthalle, Heidelberg

Marketing puts the emphasis on offering a full service

concept. Working closely with Chef de Cuisine Kai Bü-

ckle, hotel management specialist Benjamin Huckele has

been responsible for the cuisine on offer at the Kon-

gresshaus Stadthalle Heidelberg. From gala dinners for

the AGMs of multinational corporations to major scienti-

fic congresses, Huckele is on hand to offer expert advice

to every client. Together, we can create totally unique

concepts for every occasion. From goat’s cheese with

nuts in a Black Forest ham wrap to homemade noodles

with black truffles, the Catering department has esta-

blished a reputation of the highest order.

Numbers are not an issue. From 300 guests at the Pri-

me Ministers’ Conference to the 2200 delegates at the

international psychologists’ convention, the quality of

our service remains the same. Size is only a matter of

logistics, scheduling, and organization. The team is as-

sembled according to demand. In addition to a core of

permanent staff, we can also call on the services of up

to 60 personnel for large-scale events. And it is not only

conventions and congresses that appear on the cate-

ring team’s calendar. The Kongresshaus is also a favo-

rite venue for concerts, receptions and balls, from the

grand Perkeo event with 800 people to the “Vampire

Ball”, which attracted 2500 guests. When it comes to

catering, the Kongresshaus is a gastronomical delight.

The night watchman has been responsible for the safety of the citizens within the

city walls since the Middle Ages. Ever since the Romantics began to celebrate Hei-

delberg in song at the beginning of the 19th century, and commemorate the mighty

ruins of the castle for eternity in copperplate engravings, guests have been coming

CHARTERED BOAT TRIPS WITH THE “WEISSE FLOTTE HEIDELBERG”

to the Neckar from all over

the world. They too were

protected by the night

watchman from robbers,

dubious antiques dealers,

and other immoral propo-

sals. Accompany the night

watchman and explore the

alleyways of the Old Town

while he recounts tales

from days long ago.

One of the most eccentric and most entertaining inter-

preters of the history of Heidelberg takes you on a tour

through the city: The great American writer and humo-

rist Mark Twain takes an hour off to describe to you, in

his typical and inimitable fashion, his personal take on

the sights and history of the city and the people who

live there, and all in accordance with his motto: “Truth

is the most valuable thing we have. Let us economize

it”. A joy to walk.

Take a boat trip along the river and enjoy a very special view of Heidelberg and its

sights, including the Old Bridge and Heidelberg Castle. Boats can be hired for priva-

te trips. The boats have a capacity of 200 to 500 people. Charter trips can be boo-

ked on request at any time and for different durations as required. If you wish, we

will be happy to book your lunch or dinner as well. There are commentaries on all

trips in German, English and French. Themed trips can also be arranged on request.

With a print run of 90,000 copies in nine lan-

Heidelberg have to offer in the way of sights?

Important information, addresses, telephone

CONGRESSES OF SHORT DISTANCES

Kongresshaus Stadthalle Heidelberg is only a short walk away from a large number of hotels, Germany’s longest pedestrian zone, and famous

sights such as the Old Bridge, the Philosophenweg, and the renowned castle. The Stadthalle can even be easily accessed by water: The boats

of the Weisse Flotte tie up practically at the front door, as does the emission-free, solar catamaran “Neckarsonne”, which is used for excursi-

ons down the Neckar Valley.
