The School
Germany is located at the geographic center of Europe, linking East and West as well as North and South. It is the heart of Europe. It is a land of culture full of beautiful countryside and interesting towns with sensational historic monuments and tourist attractions. Hamburg is in the northern part of Germany, it is both, a beautiful and international city where people speak High-German without any area dialects.
Experts agree that Hamburg is one of the world's most beautiful cities. For centuries, Hamburg has had one of the largest international sea ports, with trade relations spanning the entire world, particularly English speaking countries and South America. Even so, Hamburg is not situated on the open sea. Rather, it is located on the wide lower reaches of the River Elbe, approximately 100 km upstream from the North Sea. The container ships and cruisers sailing up and down the Elbe are a unique sight.
A city and a German federal state at the same time, Hamburg is the last of the great European city-states. The city has governed itself for many centuries. The city center lines Lake Alster: classic facades, elegant shopping streets, street cafés, restaurants and grand hotels from the 19th century interspersed with medieval churches. "Fleets" (open canals) flow through the city, which boasts no less than 2428 bridges (Venice, by comparison, has a mere 450). Hamburg is an exceptionally green city with large parks and gardens. Its hallmark is St. Michael's the unique baroque church.
It goes without saying that with its over 90 consulates this international and cosmopolitan city offers a rich variety of different cultural events: theater, opera, classical music, ballet, musicals, pop concerts, museums, art galleries, cinemas showing the latest premieres etc.
German is the language of the classical writers, thinkers and musicians such as Luther, Goethe and Schiller or Mozart and Beethoven. Established in 1952, over the years, the school has developed into one of the leading language schools in Germany. The school has its own foreign language Bookshop selling modern language text books and foreign language literature. There is also a cafeteria for students as well as the general public.
The school’s 70 classrooms are located in a quiet pedestrian zone in the heart of Hamburg (city center). Public transport access (underground, suburban rail, bus) is excellent. At any given time, around 500 students from all over the world are enrolled in the German courses, with all nationalities being represented.
