Heidelberg - City of Romanticism
and Science
Heidelberg, once the capital of the Palatinate and
the 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 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 endorsed through the Excellence Initiative of Federal and Regional
State Governments. In the CHE 2013 ranking of German universities, 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 courtyard. 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 renaissance 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.

www.fuu.de
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 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
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. Together with the neighbouring cities in the Rhine-Neckar metropolitan 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

F+U Academy of Languages
International Language School
The F+U language school is situated in the middle
of the university city’s historic centre, and just a
few metres from the Neckar.
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 during break-time conversations in the corridors or in the school’s
atrium, or while participating in the cultural and sporting activities 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 experience 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 Academy 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.
Our language school in the Darmstädter Hof Centre, 3rd floor.
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

TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication), LCCI
(London Chamber of Commerce and Industry) exams, TELC

international applicants for higher education) and OnDaF (online
language assessment).
Through its partnership with the long-established Institut de

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 Druckmaschinen, 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 Foreign Languages, founded in 2004, which offers the opportunity
to study full time towards the following state recognised qualifications: Fremdsprachenkorrespondent/in (Foreign Language
Correspondence Clerk), Europasekretär/in (European Secretary), Welthandelskorrespondent/in (Multilingual Correspondence Clerk) and Translator. F+U is the only education provider in
the country to offer state recognised vocational language training 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

the organisation of language tours.

• Language course: Monday to Friday from 9:00 to 12:15, 20 teaching hours (45 minutes) a week.
The language lessons do not focus on teaching grammar; instead, the programme aims to create age-appropriate
lessons in which young learners are familiarised with the German language and culture. For this reason, participation in the additional modules is recommended.
• Shared lunch in the school: Monday - Friday: 12:30-13:30.
• Leisure activities: Monday to Saturday; 13:30-17:00.

during trips or public transport tickets; weekly ticket for Heidelberg / city centre: ca. € 20, monthly ticket: ca. € 60).
• Accommodation with a host family: Young learners stay with a carefully selected host family: The family
provides half board (breakfast and evening meal) from Monday to Friday, and full board at weekends.
Organisation of host family accommodation is only possible for young learners aged 12 and over.
