Latest News, Schedule:
If you are planning to check in at the Hotel-Pension WIENECKE after
20:00 on Friday, be sure to contact them beforehand by email:

On Friday, we've made reservations at "Sri Thai", a very nice Thai
restaurant for 20:00. It is located at Ägidienmarkt 13, which is
very close to the Hotel Pension WIENECKE (on the other side of
Stobenstrasse, where the trams run), and less than 10 minutes from the
City-Hotel MERTENS. Those staying at the LESSINGHOF may consider
taking the tram no. 1 at Inselwall (at 19:39 or 19:59) to
Bohlweg/Damm (arriving at 19:47 or 20:07). From there it is a 3
minute walk.
On Saturday we are having a Dinner party in the new Computer Science
Center at around 19:30. Those of you staying on until Monday are
welcome to join (some of) us on Sunday at a Brazilian/Italian place at
19:00.
On Saturday and on Sunday the lectures will start at 9:00. Here is

Local participants (and their talks):
Location:
Achtung! for those who have visited us before: we have moved!
Now the department of Theoretical Computer Science is located within
the new Computer Science Center at Mühlenpfordstr. 23, near the
tram station "Mühlenpfordstr." (trams no. 2, 4, 6, 7). Here is
a city
map to aid your orientation.
Travel:
The nearest airport to Braunschweig is located in Hannover, about 60
km to the West. You will need to take a train to the main Hannover
train station (about Euro 2.50) and then board a train to Braunschweig
(about Euro 9 one way, unless you want to ride an ICE train; these
require a supplement of about 6 Euro). Of course, you can also rent a
car in Hannover.
Accommodation:
Unfortunately, several other events are taking place in Braunschweig
during the weekend of October 05/06. Hence finding affordable
accommodation will be more difficult than usual. Since I will be away
until August 31, I have pre-booked seven single rooms for 49 Euros at
- Hotel Pension WIENECKE, Kuhstr. 14, FAX +49 (0)531 46464,
Email: info@koehler-wienecke.de
They also have economy rooms available for 35 Euros, where bath and
shower are located in the hallway.
Alternatively, some single rooms for 63 Euro are still available
at
- City-Hotel MERTENS, Friedrich-Willhelm-Str. 27-29, FAX: +49 (0)531
242418,
Email: braunschweig@citypartnerhotels.com
These have not been pre-booked, though.
Please mention the key word "PSSL 77" when contacting these places.
Other options may become available by mid-August, but I can only
become actively involved in the search at the beginning of September.
