Heidelberg - City of Romanticism
and Sciences
Heidelberg, once the capital of the Palatinate
and spiritual centre of Calvinism, lies in the lovely
Neckar valley and is distinguished by its particularly
mild climate.
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 Heidelberg is the oldest
university in Germany. In the QS World University Rankings
2011/2012 the University of Heidelberg was rated the best German university. In June 2012 the university’s elite status was endorsed through the Excellence Initiative of Federal and Regional
State Governments.
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 courtyard. Situated in the Royal Wine Cellar is the world’s largest
barrel, which was once filled with wine. It 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.
A walk round the Old Town reveals outstanding
ornamental facades and portals. The heart of the
Old Town is the market place, with the church of
the Holy Ghost and the grand renaissance house
“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. 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 and Stuttgart airports - just
80 and 130 km away respectively - means Heidelberg is easily
accessible to its guests from all over the world.
The name Heidelberg also stands for a modern and worldclass location for science and business. Thus, the traditionsteeped 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 centres belonging to international
companies are all located in Heidelberg. 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 145,000 - to its position as
one of Germany’s leading economic centres.
Heidelberg is also one of Germany’s leading cultural centres, as
demonstrated by the wealth of museums and theatres. Together
with the neighbouring cities in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan
area (Mannheim, Ludwigshafen, Speyer, Schwetzingen, Worms,
to name the most important), Heidelberg offers a large variety of
cultural events of national significance:
•Heidelberg Theatre Festival
•Heidelberg Literature Festival
•Heidelberg Spring Festival
•Heidelberg “Stückemarkt” Theatre and Drama Festival
•Festival of German Film
•Mannheim Summer Mozart Festival
•Heidelberg Castle Festival
•Schwetzingen Castle Festival
•Niebelungen Festival

Description of programme:
• Language course: Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 12:15, 20 teaching hours at 45 minutes.
The language lessons do not focus on teaching grammar; instead, the programme aims to create age-appropriate
lessons in which learners are familiarised with the German language and culture. As such, we recommend
participation in the additional modules.
• Shared lunch in the school: Monday - Friday; 12:30-13:30.
• Leisure activities: Monday - Saturday; 13:30-17:00.
Selection: Boat trip on the Neckar, orientation tour of Heidelberg, visits to the zoo, Fairytale Paradise on Königstuhl, Heidelberg castle, sporting activities and picnic on the banks of the Neckar, mini golf, group cookery,
swimming in Heidelberg’s open air pool, walking on the Heiligenberg, visit to Thingstätte and much more.
Admission tickets for museums, swimming pool, Neckar boat trip, etc. are included, but not the cost of public
transport tickets (weekly ticket: ca. € 20, monthly ticket: ca. € 60).
• Host families (without accompaniment by an adult, from 12 years): Our young learners stay with a carefully
selected host family: The family will provide half board (breakfast and evening meal) from Monday to Friday, and
full board at weekends.
Special Modules: Riding lesson: € 45/45 mins; Piano practice at the school’s own piano: € 10/45 mins; from 50 TH: € 8.
Á la Carte Courses (Sport, Music and more)
Parallel to our intensive courses, we organise various special courses in cooperation with local associations, operators and
music schools.
Administration fee: 1 activity: € 125; 2 activities: € 200; each additional activity: € 65.
Selection: Football, handball, table tennis, tennis, basketball, field hockey, ice hockey, rugby and other sports, music lessons,
floristry.
Please note that the practice sessions are invoiced separately. The fee is dependent on the number of hours booked and,
moreover, on the type of activity. For sports lessons, it is often the case that only a small fee is payable to the sports club.
Practice hours at school’s own piano: € 10/45 mins; from 50 hours: € 8; Mon-Fri: 15:00-21:00; Sat + Sun: 10:00-21:00.
Language Course with Internship
Administration fee: € 250 (short internships, 2 to 4 weeks: € 125)
Applications for the internship should be received at least 12 weeks before the preferred starting date. The short
internships are usually offered within an F+U school.
Requirements: An intensive course of at least two weeks and intermediate language skills (B1; for short internships at F+U: A1). Applicants from third countries must apply for a Working Holiday visa (only available to candidates from Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong and the USA: J1 visa).
“Eurodyssée” and “Leonardo da Vinci”: Funded language course and internship
Since 2004, the federal state of Baden-Württemberg’s Ministry of Trade has authorised the F+U Academy of
Languages to offer the “Eurodyssée” programme, which consists of a four-week language course and subsequent
three-month internship. Every year, the Academy also organises internships through the EU-funded “Leonardo da
Vinci” programme. Both programmes are offered in Heidelberg as well as abroad in other European countries.
