Description

Regardless of the fact that Hamburg is quite distant from the open sea, life in Germany’s second largest city is determined by water. Two large artificial inner-city lakes, the Inner Alster and the Outer Alster as well as numerous crossing canals form Hamburg’s inner city structure. Therefore the hanseatic metropolis has a maritime flair which is unique in Germany and a reputation for being the Venice of the North. Everywhere in the city it becomes obvious, how much people here enjoy life on the waterside – on the traditional fish-market where early risers and tourists taste the delicacies of the North Sea as well as in the bars on the banks of Elbe river, where in the evenings the party crowd settles in beach chairs for barbecues and picnics.

The Esplanade Building – a historic art-deco commercial building housing our Hamburg institute is located right in the heart of the city. From the 200 square meter roof terrace you can enjoy a view on the Inner Alster – the large artificial inner-city lake – and the Jungfernstieg with its worldfamous hotels and department stores. All classrooms are well lit and spacious and are equipped with high quality furniture and state-of-the-art communication media. You can access the internet via W-LAN througout the premises. In addition the Hamburg institute offers a PC-pool with 60 workstations, a large library, several multimedia rooms and a spacious cafeteria with snack- and drink-vending machines.
