Practical Information

Location

The Graduate Days 2010 will be held at the Zehntscheune Herrenhof Hanau-Steinheim. An old storage barn from 1535 now turned into an event space.

Accomodation

The Graduate Days include an optional overnight stay at the Villa Stokkum, Steinheimer Vorstadt 70, 63456 Hanau-Steinheim.

A list of registered overnight guests can be found here. Registration for the overnight stay is closed at this point.

Earliest check in at the hotel is 15:00 on Thursday. We recommend to check in during the breaks or after the sessions. It is possible to store baggage after/before the stay at the hotel. Checkout is Friday at 11:00 latest.

Directions

Directions to the hotel can be found here.

Directions to the Zehntscheune can be found here.

In case you arrive by public transport the best way is to go from Frankfurt main station with S8 to Hanau-Steinheim. Continue with bus 12 or 4 to Hanau-Steinheim, Albrecht-Dürer-Strasse. From there it's a 5 minute walk to the location.

To walk from the hotel to the Zehntscheune just walk up the brief slope through the park along the old city wall.

Parking

Please note that there is no parking at the Zehntscheune. Please park your car at the Villa Stokkum (Altstadtparkplatz P1) or at the Main river under the Hellentalbrücke (Altstadtparkplatz P2). Both parkings are free of charge.

Dress code

As people ask. There is no dress code during the day. Just as usual. For the evening we recommend business casual, i.e. jacket but no tie, for the gents. Ladies on their own judgement.

Travel reimbursement

If you need travel reimbursement we will have the usual application sheets on site. Please do not file a formal travel request. Hotel costs will be covered by HGS-HIRe all together, no need to pay at the hotel, costs related to the Graduate Days will not be billed to your conference budget.
