The Fragment in The Digital Age

Practical Information

The conference room offers a lot of space
We are in the lucky position to have a very large auditorium from the time around 1900 with free seating. The whole building is very large, with very wide stairs and corridors, so that we have a lot of space, including an outdoor area for catering.

Arriving by plane

The airport Hannover is about 50 km away, but very small and there is no direct train connection to Hildesheim, you usually have to change train once: about 70 minutes, about 12,00 €). With shuttle service it is 45 minutes, 55,00 € (please book in advance, www.fthaj.de, Tel.: +49 (0) 511 9772240), with taxi 45 minutes, approx. 80,00 €),
