3 1 Useful information We present quite a lot of information in the following, the majority of which is only intended for those of you travelling from outside Germany. While a lot of you have most likely travelled through Germany before, we are of the opinion that it is better to have too much information than not enough. The company that runs the train service in Germany is Deutsche Bahn. Click here for their website. You will see the following symbols and logos throughout your travel through Germany Figure 1: 1. Deutsche Bahn 2. S-Bahn 3. Unter-bahn While a lot of Germany is very tourist-friendly with multi-lingual ticket machines and signs, you should be aware of a few vital words and phrases to get to Heidelberg. Below are a list of words, their abbreviations if they are used, and their meaning in English for a successful trip.

4 1.1 Conference centre The conference will be held at the Max Planck Haus (website link): Figure 2: The Max Planck Haus. Picture courtesy of MPIMF. The address is: Gerhart-Hauptmann-Strasse 36 D Heidelberg We look forward to your attendance at Chemical evolution and nucleosynthesis across the Galaxy and we hope that the following will get you to, from and around Heidelberg with the minimum amount of fuss. 2

5 1.2 Buying train tickets All DB machines are multilingual and will at least offer English as well as German. In order to travel on any of the trains in Germany you will need to locate and use one of these machines. They look like the following. Alternatively, you can also speak to a ticket officer at the ticket office. 3

6 2 Getting to Heidelberg Hauptbahnof There are several ways to get to Heidelberg by rail, depending on which airport you are travelling to/from. Below are a few options for this depending on where you are flying to From Frankfurt airport By far the easiest way to get to Heidelberg Hbf from Frankfurt airport is to use the S-bahn. When you locate a ticket machine (depicted in Sect. 1.2) you can take a single ticket for the entire journey. Here is a simple step-by-step guide: Set the language to English. Enter your location (this is often already filled in) as Frankfurt airport (Frankfurt Flughafen). Below that enter your destination as Heidelberg Hbf Press search The price is approximately e26.00 and includes a single change at Mannheim Hbf There are several methods of getting to Heidelberg from Frankfurt. The quickest (and cheapest) route is to take the ICE followed by an S-Bahn. Although there is a direct train from Frankfurt to Heidelberg, it runs very infrequently. Only twice a day. Therefore, you must change at Mannheim Hbf. It is very important that you double check your tickets before you board an ICE train. If you do not have an ICE ticket, you will be fined by the conductor. The travel time for this leg of the journey is approximately 40 0 minutes. The next leg of the journey is to take the S-Bahn. Most S-bahn trains go through Heidelberg Hbf (providing you take one going in the right direction!), so there is usually a train every -10 minutes. Check the board at Mannheim station for your platform number and S-bahn number. 4

7 There are also direct coaches available from Lufthansa. If you arrive at strange times, or arrive as a group, you may also wish to consider TLS. Please use the following links to find out more: Frankfurt Airport Shuttles TLS booking From Stuttgart International Airport As you go down the stairs from terminal 1 (the signs for the train station are obvious), you will be presented with the ticket machines before you get to the platform. Set the language to English. Enter your location (this is often already filled in) as Stuttgart airport (Stuttgart Flughafen/Messe). Below that enter your destination as Heidelberg Hbf Press search The price is approximately e and includes a single change at Stuttgart Hauptbahnof Take the S-bahn train in the direction of Stuttgart Hbf and disembark at Stuttgart Hbf. Getting around Stuttgart Hbf can be a little tricky at first. You must head to the top floor. Go up the escalators and follow the signs for the over ground trains. Once you re in the main building at street level, you ll need to find tracks 1-10, which are around a five minute walk away from the main train station building along a long and wide corridor. The ICE train leaves from there and runs approx. every hour. This is a direct ICE train, so you will need to listen for the announcement of Heidelberg Hbf. It is usually the first or second stop depending on the time of day From Frankfurt-Hahn Airport This is quite a distance away from Heidelberg, but several budget airlines do run from here, such as some Ryan Air flights. Getting to Heidelberg is relatively simple,

8 however. There is a direct coach from the airport run by Holger Tours. Timetables can be found here and tickets are roughly e22. The journey is approximately 2 hours 30 minutes. There is also a Flixbus option. Tickets are approximatly e20 and takes roughly 2 hours 10 minutes. More information can be found here. 3 Getting around in Heidelberg Figure 3: A typical tram/bus ticket machine The transport network in Heidelberg is extremely good and well connected. If you are staying towards the old town (Altstadt) and wish to make use of it to get to and from the venue, we recommend you take a weekly ticket. These tickets allow 6

9 you to travel on any bus or tram within Heidelberg as many times as needed for the week you re in Heidelberg. The RNV machines (in blue and orange Fig. 3) can be switched to English and navigation around them is very simple. To get a weekly ticket, simply use the following instructions: 1. Switch the language to English and select Weekly and monthly passes Select Week Everybody... 7

10 3. Select your zone as 2. This will get you around all of Heidelberg The price will be around e6.7. Pay and make sure you validate your ticket when you use the tram or bus for the first time. Be sure to retain this ticket on your person for the entire week. 8

14 Conference dinner Details will be released at a later date. 6 Conference excursion The dates chosen for this conference by the organisers were not a coincidence. They were chosen to coincide with the start of Heidelberg s Weihnachtsmarkt (Christmas Market). Therefore, the excursion will be an evening at the various Weihnachtsmarkts held around the Altstadt (old town). We encourage you all to try the various foods and varieties of Glühwein (mulled wine), including Opa s Glühwein (Grandpa s mulled wine) mulled wine with a little something extra. We ll let you discover what that something is, and the famous Feuerzangenbowle rum-soaked sugar is ignited and then slowly dripped into a cauldron of hot mulled wine. Be careful, however, as you are expected to find your own way back to your hotels! Don t forget to return your cups to get back your pfand, which can be up to e3. 12
