Location
In a TV documentary, Gengenbach was once called a pearl among the Black Forest towns and our visitors speak of a romantic gem, of Nice of Baden. The impressive town hall building and the uncountable romantic half-timbered houses dominate the image of the town. It is a picturesque town with approximately 12,000 inhabitants, quaint shops, typical Baden gastronomy, and markets and festivals which attract tourists from all over the word.
The university campus is located in a well-preserved Benedictine monastery in the middle of town, and it boasts a captivating Baroque interior. The friendly and charming atmosphere allows for an intensive concentration of the program while at the same time being close to many successful German companies, such as Hansgrohe, Herrenknecht and Hubert Burda Media, for further career development.
Offenburg University is located in the pretty Ortenau region, which is considered to be the "gateway to the Black Forest". Nonetheless, the city is only short distances away from major cities, including Karlsruhe, Freiburg, Baden-Baden, Strasbourg/France, and Basel/Switzerland. Additionally, this south-western part of Germany offers a comfortable climate with warm and pleasant summers and winter temperatures rarely dropping below zero.
Although Gengenbach is relatively small, it offers great cultural and recreational possibilities. There are various festivals and festivities throughout the year, including the famous German carnival season and one of Germany's most popular Christmas markets, where Gengenbach City Hall represents a huge Advent calendar.
