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

F+U Academy of Languages 

International Language School 

The F+U language school is situated at the historical 

centre of the university city, and just a few metres 

from the Neckar. 

The school building offers a fantastic view of the Old Town and 

the castle and into the Neckar valley. 

Today, the F+U Academy of Languages is one of the largest 

language schools in Germany. Every year, approximately 6,500 

learners from approximately 120 countries participate in our 

language courses in Heidelberg. Thanks to its internationality, 

the school is a unique meeting point for other languages and 

cultures. 

With 45 multimedia-equipped classrooms (up to 70 in summer), 

3 Internet rooms with 50 PCs, free Internet access 

and WLAN, and a central location in Heidelberg, the 

Academy of Languages offers everything to ensure 

language learning is an exceptional experience. 

Several halls of residence with 280 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. 

Of particular significance is the Vocational College for Foreign 

Languages, established in 2004, which offers the opportunity 

to study full time towards the following state recognised qualifications: 

FremdsprachenkorrespondentIn (Foreign Language 

Correspondence Clerk), EuropasekretärIn (European Secretary), 

WelthandelskorrespondentIn (International Trade Correspondence 

Clerk) and Translator. F+U is the only education provider in 

the country to offer state recognised vocational language training 

for Japanese. State recognition has also been awarded for Chinese, 

English, French, Russian and Spanish. 

The F+U Academy of Languages offers a variety of 

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 Heidelberg, followed by a commercial internship. 

To complete its range of courses, the Academy of Languages 

also organises language tours.

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.
