LOCATION

The town of Radolfzell is in southern Germany right next to Germany’s biggest lake (Lake Constance). Even though the city is small, there are many things to offer visitors such as great views, shopping options, arts and culture and various outdoor activities. The town’s origins date back over a thousand years and began as an essential settlement but have grown due to its location close to the lake which is a popular tourist destination. The Carl Duisberg Centre is based near a picturesque park called the ‘Stadtgarten’ which has a fantastic view of the old part of town. It has a population of 30,000 residents. This town is ideal for young learners or anybody who would like to learn German in a small town. The language centre consists of 9 classrooms, a cafeteria, a language lab and a party room.
