Welcome to the heart of Europe. The Rhine-Main region is one of the great hubs in Europe: economically vital, scientifically productive, geographically central and culturally rich in history, art, architecture and design. Darmstadt is right in the middle of it! We are happy to host you as a participant in our third summer university on “Energy-efficient and sustainable buildings” at our Department of Civil Engineering. We have composed an abundant programme for you, that combines academic teaching, project work, field trips, site visits and German language courses. Your four-week stay in Darmstadt is rounded off by exciting cultural and leisure activities. This brochure aims to provide you with useful information and tips on your stay with us. If there is anything you need, don’t hesitate to contact us. Enjoy your International Summer University in Darmstadt! Your ISU-Team ISU 2013 Participants Foto International Office CHECKLIST: THINGS TO BRING 6 Introduction Checklist: Things to bring •Important papers such as passport, insurance, • • • • • • • • • • • • travel information Information leaflets you received from ISU Darmstadt beforehand Some cash for the first days Credit card/debit card and PIN-number (make sure that your card is valid in Europe/Germany) Comfortable shoes, also suitable for hiking Clothes for warm and cool days Raincoat and/or umbrella Formal attire for ceremonies, such as awarding of certificates Adapter and converter for any electrical devices (e.g. laptop, mobile phone, hairdryer) you may want to bring. German appliances work on 230 Volt Swimsuit or swim trunks Any medication (e.g. for allergy) you may need International SIM-card. It might be very expensive to use your normal phone card, so maybe it is a good idea to check out prices for international ones. You can also purchase international phone cards in Germany. German dictionary in your language Please be aware, that you have to carry your suitcase from the airport to your accommodation and also on the trip to southern Germany. Don`t pack too much! General travel information Electricity: The power supply runs at 230V/50Hz. European-style round two-pin plugs are in use. You need a transformer and a plug that fits the German socket. 7 GENERAL TRAVEL INFORMATION Credit cards and the Euro currency on vacation in Germany The official currency is the Euro "€". Credit cards are not very common; use them only for petrol stations, large shops and major hotels. American Express, Diners Club, MasterCard and Visa are widely accepted. Carry cash or a Eurocheque card as well. Change money at banks, post offices, airport or train stations or you can use your ATM card at most ATM's in Germany. ATMs are multilingual so your Visa or debit card could be used without problems. Some banks have a reciprocal agreement with other banks (for example Deutsche Bank with Barclays and Bank of America) which saves bank charges when using the ATM. Check with your bank before you travel. Most banks are affiliated with several international ATM networks (Cirrus, Plus, Star and Maestro). Please think about enough small notes, a 200 or 500 Euro note is very difficult to change. Shopping in the cities of Germany Most shops in the cities are open Monday to Saturday from 10am to 8pm. Larger department stores and supermarkets may stay open till 10:00 (e.g. REWE). The REWE supermarket at Darmstadt Hauptbahnhof (main station) opens from 10:00 – 20:00 on Sundays, too. Smaller stores, especially in rural areas, lock doors at 6:00 and are often closed for an hour in the afternoon. After hours shopping for basics is possible in petrol stations and train stations. Usually, on Sundays all stores/department stores are closed. Some bakeries open for few hours on Sunday morning.

ISU 2013 Participants with academic directors Foto Anne Weber Darmstadt has a population of 147,927 (2013). Since 1997 Darmstadt carries the title Science City (“Wissenschaftsstadt”). Darmstadt is the science and high-tech-centre of the metropolitan Rhine-Main region and the birthplace of numerous things that have changed our daily lives. From the radio clock to Plexiglas® and the first enzyme based washing agent to the liquid crystals in our mobiles and notebooks - all these are inventions from Darmstadt. Darmstadt accommodates not only the technical university and one of the nation’s largest universities of applied sciences but also 3 institutions of the Fraunhofer Society (research organisation). Internationally renowned organisations such as the space organisations ESOC (European Space Operations Centre) and EUMETSAT, as well as the Helmholtz Centre for Heavy Ion Research (GSI) round off the profile as a city of science. Röhm, Schenck Process and Schenck Rotec, Goldwell/KPSS or Software AG have distinctive departments of research and development at their disposal.

Frankfurt on the Main (pronounced ‘mine’) is unlike any other German city. With many skyscrapers, ‘Mainhattan’ is a true capital of finance and business, home base for one of the world’s largest stock exchanges as well as the European Central Bank. It also hosts some of Europe’s most important trade fairs, including the largest book and motorcar fairs anywhere. Yet Frankfurt consistently ranks as one of the world’s most attractive cities for living, with a rich collection of museums (e.g. Städel, Senckenberg museum, Schirn, Goethe House), lots of parks and greenery, a lively student scene, excellent public transport, fine dining and plenty to do in the evening. Nightspots range from cosy neighbourhood apple-wine taverns to some of Europe’s most thumping techno-discos. Frankfurt is also home to many cultural and educational institutions including the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University and Frankfurt University of Applied Sciences. Due to its central location within Germany and Europe, Frankfurt is a major air, rail and highway transport hub. Frankfurt’s airport, the region’s biggest employer, is the third-largest in Europe, handling over 56 million passengers per year.

The artists’ colony refers both to a group of artists and the buildings at Mathildenhöhe in Darmstadt in which these artists lived and worked. Famous for its Darmstädter Jugendstil (art noveau) architecture and creations, it was established in 1899 at the behest of Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig. Fotos Alena Lobashova On site, the Museum Künstlerkolonie displays supremely elegant Jugendstil furniture, tableware, textiles, ceramics and jewellery, while the exhibition building Mathildenhöhe puts on temporary art exhibitions. Mathildenhöhe’s western slope is graced by the three golden onion domes of a mosaic-adorned Russian Orthodox chapel. It was built from 1897 to 1899 for the last Russian Tsar, Nicholas II, who married a local woman, Princess Alix von Hessen (Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig’s younger sister), in 1894.

If you’re looking for a souvenir thimble, this is definitely the place to come, but Rüdesheim also offers a variety of delightful vineyard walks. Making the town worth visiting is, not only the wine or even the Old Town itself, but also the picturesque Rheingau landscape and the romantic Rhine.

The main library is in building D 10 in Schöfferstraße 8 (1st floor). If you want to borrow books there, you need a library card. In order to get this card, you have to bring your passport, your student ID card, and your certificate of the Residents‘ Registration Office and then fill in a form.

Another university library is in the castle of Darmstadt (in the city center) and a public library is located at Justus-Liebig-Haus, Große Bachgasse 2.
