FEFLOW ® User Conference
Venue
Older than Berlin itself and located between the arms of the rivers Dahme and Spree, Köpenick
has kept its small-town touch. At the same time the bustling Berlin city center is within
easy reach via public transport.
Our conference venue, the pentahotel Berlin-Köpenick (www.pentahotels.com), is situated
directly at the banks of the river Dahme, with a view of the old town and Köpenick castle. The
branching network of rivers, lakes and channels in and around Köpenick provides a perfect
set for our dinner boat trip.

Berlin offers accomodation in all price categories, ranging from high-class hotels to
inexpensive private rooms.
We have reserved a number of rooms at a special conference rate at the conference venue
and some other hotels. Please refer to ‚FEFLOW‘ for your booking at:

Travel details
The conference can be reached by plane via the BER airport Berlin-Brandenburg (Berlin
Schönefeld), by train, or by car.

It’s the classical dilemma faced by groundwater consultants: The client provides sparse and fuzzy input data yet
expects quick and precise predictions, while the modeler would much rather work on a generous schedule, from
a comprehensive and reliable data set, and with the understanding that uncertainty will be integral part of any
results.
How are these interests to be balanced so that we maintain integrity and remain true to sound scientific and
engineering principles?
