To our friends all over the world, At age 40, people are in the middle of their lives, have a lot of experience, know their strengths and still have many interesting projects to look forward to. That’s why we’re very pleased that the Humboldt-Institut turns 40 in 2017—and that we can celebrate with program participants from all over the world. Since our found- ing, we have welcomed over 60,000 students! You can still find our website—with a fresh, new look starting autumn 2016—at www.humboldt-institut.org. Updated for smart- phones, tablets and PCs alike, the site presents what we have to offer and makes it even easier to select the German course that’s right for you. Check us out! Our growth isn’t even slowing down for our anniversary, as we’ll be opening our 17th program site: a summer location in Kempten. In July, program participants here will be able to enjoy being near the Alps, countless lakes and a range of recreational opportunities in one of Germany’s oldest cities. And just in case you need to cool off a bit: your Humboldt program fees include, as always, admis- sion to the neighboring outdoor pool. With the telc Deutsch C1 Hochschule exam now recognized at all German universities, demand for this test has risen dramatically. We are also happy to help you with any questions you have about placement and application procedures at German universities, offering the German course and test you need. In addition to our regular German courses, we also offer attractive programs and special terms for groups and school classes, especially in the off-season. Contact us! The Lindenberg boarding school has developed extremely well in collaboration with the local college preparatory school. Students from a total of ten countries live and learn here under one roof. In June 2016 we again saw two of our students successfully pass their high-school leaving exams—the Abitur—and are already crossing our fingers for our 2017 candidates. We hope you have a happy and successful 2017 and look forward to the next 40 years—and hopefully to seeing you soon again as a member of the Humboldt family! Yours,

Norbert Güthling Lennart Güthling Content

Berlin—Germany’s capital and by far largest city—impresses with more than 3.5 million inhabitants and an incredible variety of sights and cultural offers. Constance, however, seems to be unhurried and laid-back with only 85,000 inhabitants, while it is rated as one of Germany’s towns with the highest quality of life due to its gorgeous location right next to Lake Constance and its proximity to Switzerland and the Alps. With our combination offer you can sample and immerse yourself into these two cities in two very different regions of Germany within only a short time.
