Travel and Accommodation Info

Visa

You might need a visa to enter Germany. These processes can take multiple months or more. Please contact your local embassy early to find out which guidelines apply to you and which documents you need. We will be more than happy to assist you with the visa process, e.g. if you require documents from our side. This website might help to provide some general information about the visa application process.

Travel to Hanover

The in-person part of this workshop will take place in Hanover, Germany.

By train: If you are based in Europe, we recommend you to travel by train. There are regular ICE connections to Hannover Hauptbahnhof.

By plane: Hannover Airport (HAJ) is the city's main airport, located approximately 11 km north of the city center. The airport offers good connections within Europe and to some international destinations. For long-distance international travel, it might make sense to fly to an international airport like Frankfurt (FRA) or Berlin (BER), and then take a train to Hannover Hauptbahnhof.

Workshop Venue

The in-person meeting will take place in the "Königlicher Pferdestall" (see here for more Info, and 📍 here for the location ). There is a park nearby, and many restaurants around. It is easily accessible by public transport, and even by foot from the hotel with a 20min-ish walk.

Accommodation

After the initial hotel with your bookings went bankrupt, your rooms were re-booked to a new hotel thats close by, although unfortunately a little further away from the venue (📍 Hotel location on Google Maps: View here).

Note that the northern area of the Hannover train station where the Hotel is located, can be a bit scary to walk in, especially the public underpass under the big road and at nights. It is NOT dangerous! Still for your own comfort you might prefer walking to the hotel on the road level.

The reservation is valid for the workshop period from February 24, 2026 (check-in) to February 28, 2026 (check-out).

You should tell the staff the keyword "PEM-L" to get the special rates.

The special rates are as follows:

• Nights 1–3: €79 per night
• Night 4: €95

All prices include breakfast. Cancellations are free of charge up to one day before arrival. Payment is to be made by you directly to the hotel.

Of course, you are also welcome to arrange your own accommodation if you prefer.
