Registration form

Last update: 2010-04-21


Accommodation:
Nowadays it seems to be feasible that participants directly contact hotels that offer WEB-pages. Of course, we will be happy to assist you with your reservation, if necessary.

Here are three hotels we have used successfully on previous occasions for meetings. All three offer special University rates (including breakfast) and the first two are located less then 10 minutes away from the University (walking distance). Please mention "PSSL90" when making reservations to qualify for the special rates.

We have reserved a limited number of single rooms for now. (Due to a private function, double rooms at the Hotel an der Stadthalle are in short supply.) As the Industrial Fair in Hannover is ending on April 24, there may be shortages of rooms around April 23 or earlier, hence it is advisable to register and book early. If the number or participants exceeds our expectations, we will try to book further rooms, either here or with other hotels.

Hotel Lessing Hof ***, 59 Euro single, 74 Euro double, please reserve by April 1

CVJM Hotel am Wollmarkt **, 49 Euro single, 80 Euro double, please reserve by April 1

Hotel an der Stadthalle **, 56 Euro single, please reserve by April 1

Location:
The department of Theoretical Computer Science is located within the 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 Hannover's main railway station (about Euro 3) and then board a train to Braunschweig (about Euro 11 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. Alternatively, Berlin is located about 200 km East of Braunschweig.
If you want to travel through Hannover, please note that unless you bought a train ticket at your travel agency, you need to purchase one at the ticket machines on the platform of the so-called "S-Bahn", located below ground near Terminal C. Do not rely on buying tickets on the train, it will cost more. Use the machines labeled "DB" or "Deutsche Bahn", there you can purchase a ticket to Braunschweig; other machines are for local connections within the Hannover region. The S-Bahn line "S5" continues beyond Hannover main station to Hamlin or Bad Pyrmont; dont let those designations confuse you: all trains will stop at Hannover main station (after some intermediate stops). Announcements on the train should be in German and in English.
