About the study location

Schwäbisch Gmünd is an old Staufer town with a long tradition: as early as 1100 Gmünd was established as a market place under the first Staufer Dukes, and by 1162 was officially designated as a town. Today, Schwäbisch Gmünd totals a population of about 60,000 people, but constitutes, despite its size, an important educational centre in East Württemberg. The town’s regular various cultural programmes are very colourful – you can be sure to find something to match your taste. Don’t miss the European Festival of Church Music. Every summer, renowned musicians from all over the world perform in historical halls and turn the whole town into a magnificent concert hall The urban life of Stuttgart, the capital of South-West Germany, with its 600,000 inhabitants, museums, theatres, arenas, shopping facilities and famous companies such as Daimler or Porsche is only 40 minutes away by train.
