Intensive courses from July to August in a 1000-year-old German town
| The place | |
 | Located at the edge of the "Schwäbische Alb" mountain region, close to the meeting point of two nice little rivers, lies Kirchheim unter Teck, a picturesque town in an idyllic surrounding. The historic old part of town offers its visitors a splendid and uniform image of 17th century architecture. Romantic half-timbered houses, the impressive walls of the former town fortifications, and a maze of narrow lanes create an unparalleled atmosphere for our language courses. Among the most impressive buildings are the castle, church and the ornate town hall with its arcades and a clock that indicates the lunar phases. Our school lies within walking distance of this extraordinary old part of town so that our students can easily enjoy this outstanding atmopshere. Kirchheim/Teck, however, offers a lot more than its 1000 years of history and tradition. This town, with its more than 35,000 inhabitants, is the bustling center of this region and offers numerous leisure activities, e.g., plays, concerts, sports events, exhibitions and enchanting town festivals. Many visitors particularly like the relaxed, almost family-like atmosphere they encounter in the many garden restaurants, pubs and cafés. People in Kirchheim/Teck know how to combine an idyllic surrounding and a relaxed lifestyle with modern industries and innovative technologies. Originally, companies built their production sites in this area due to the town's excellent infrastructure and water power resources. Today, airbag production and the manufacturing of gliders ensure that the town not only has a rich history but also a bright future to look forward to. Kirchheim/Teck - a fascinating town that combines tradition, lifestyle and progress! |
