In the south of Lower Saxony, between the Harz Mountains and the Weser river, lies the tradition-steeped university city of Göttingen. The historic Old Town, the medieval Town Hall, churches, half-timbered houses, pubs, pavement cafés and many attractive little shops make the city centre a wonderful place for strolling and relaxing. If you want to know why the statue of Goose Liesl in the market square fountain is known as the “most-kissed girl in the world” you’ll have to come to Göttingen, which is also famous for its lively cultural and arts scene, with excellent theatres, orchestras and festivals.

The enchanting medieval town of Göttingen is located in an area of central Germany where the purest German is spoken. Whether buying your food in the supermarket or eating dinner with your hosts, you can be sure that you will be hearing perfect "high German", free of any regional accents or dialects. Our German school in Göttingen is located in the pedestrian area of the historical centre of the town. You will find lots of coffee bars, pubs, discotheques, theatres and cinemas just around the corner. Also most of the bus routes stop outside the door. The German school has a friendly atmosphere with highly motivated and qualified teachers.
