2021 German for Children, Teenagers and Adults - Humboldt-Institut
Norbert Güthling, President   Lennart Güthling, Managing Director

Dear friends around the world,

2020 was in many ways an extraordinary year. From
one day to another, a virus turned the whole world
upside down.
However, we also take away a lot of positive experi-
ences: For example, the understanding and loyalty
of all students whose courses could not take place as
planned, or the positive feedback we received for our
online courses – a novelty at the Humboldt-Institut.
We were all the more delighted in summer when, after
many months of uncertainty, students were finally able
to travel to Germany again to start their German cours-
es and make new friends.
Today, we are looking forward to 2021 with confidence
and hope for an economic recovery in all industries and
the complete lifting of travel restrictions.
We are also looking forward to all of the students that
we hope to welcome to our institutes. The various
course options and all news are summarized in this
brochure. We provide further information and images
on our website www.humboldt-institut.org/en/.
We wish you a healthy, happy and successful year and
look forward to your next visit to the Humboldt-Institut!

Yours,

Norbert Güthling              Lennart Güthling

Kempten
ages 14-18
Mountains so close you can almost touch them: located in the middle of the Allgäu region
– a popular holiday destination – Kempten’s location is ideal for day trips to the peaks of
the Allgäu Alps, to Lake Constance and to the world-famous Neuschwanstein Castle. The
neighboring countries of Austria and Switzerland are a short trip from the school, as is the
Munich metropolitan area. Even the Romans appreciated this favorable location, found-
ing their city of Cambodunum and making Kempten one of the oldest cities in Germany.
Whether you are interested in the many recreational opportunities in the surrounding
area or in a stroll through downtown, Kempten has plenty to offer, no matter what your
tastes.

Düsseldorf
ages 14-18
With a population of some 600,000 inhabitants, Düsseldorf is seen as one of Germany’s
most interesting and popular major cities. Enjoy a stroll along the banks of the Rhine at
the “Rheinuferpromenade” which links the traditional historic city center with the contem-
porary media harbor. The “Kö,” the bustling shopping street, is another wonderful place to
take in the sights, and as a cultural metropolis, Düsseldorf appeals to people from around
the world. The city on the Rhine is famous for the joie de vivre of its residents, and it has
an almost Mediterranean flair, particularly in the summer. Our house offers high-standard
accommodations and is located directly on the Rhine with a view of the historic city
center. Most major sightseeing attractions are within easy walking distance.

Vienna (Austria)
ages 15-18
Vienna, the city with the highest quality of life in the world, unites tradition and modernity
in its own unique way. With 1.8 million inhabitants, Vienna is both Austria’s capital and
its largest city – and the site of the first and only Humboldt-Institut center in neighboring
Austria. A true highlight of this program site is the location of our German courses: on
board of a school ship right along the Danube island! After class, Vienna also offers what
may be the world’s finest cultural scene: besides the old town and Schönbrunn Palace,
both of which are UNESCO World Cultural Heritage sites, Vienna also boasts countless
royal residences and palaces, museums, famous buildings and landmarks, the most inter-
nationally known of which are St. Stephen’s Cathedral and the Ferris wheel in the Prater
park. But architectural monuments are not all that Vienna has to offer: coffeehouses,
Sachertorte, Wiener Schnitzel and the Naschmarkt – the city’s wide variety of attractions
cater to every taste!

Berlin-Lehnin

Lehnin is a small town of 12,000 people located near Potsdam and Berlin. The Lehnin
monastery is still the focal point of this lively town, which is surrounded by forests, lakes
and rivers.
The beautiful landscape calls for hiking and biking trips, and the large lake right next to
our school offers our students opportunities for swimming, sailing or rowing. The proxim-
ity of Berlin guarantees interesting excursions on the weekends.

Reimlingen

Reimlingen lies just 4 kilometers south of the medieval town of Nördlingen. Castles,
fortresses and old customs are the stock and trade of the surrounding Nördlinger Ries, a
region known for its breathtaking land formations produced over 15 million years ago by
cataclysmic natural forces. Students are housed at the Reimlingen conference center, an
extremely well-maintained facility situated far from busy streets in a lovely park set up for
numerous types of sports and recreation.
