About the city

Rosenheim is located in the south-eastern part of the
German state of Bavaria. Close to the Alps, it is an
area rich in scenic beauty and with an impressive
cultural heritage. About half an hour's drive from
Germany's "high-tech capital", Munich, it is also the
centre of a prospering economic region with a
population of about 100,000 inhabitants.
The city of Rosenheim is an attractive place to live and
study, with its unique Mediterranean flair and beautiful
location in a unique landscape of mountains, forests,
and lakes. Why not take a short three-hour trip to Italy
and enjoy the Lago di Garda or the stunning town of
Merano? Additionally, the ski and snowboard resort of
Sudelfeld is just 30 minutes away. The Alps and the
idyllic Lake Chiemsee - near one of the most famous
castles built by the "fairytale king" Ludwig II - await you
with year-long recreational activities like winter sports,
water sports, and spas. Rosenheim and its
surroundings also feature a full calendar of entertaining
cultural events. From classical to jazz, pop, and rock,
the Culture and Congress Centre in Rosenheim
regularly hosts music concerts, guest theatre
performances, and social events - there's something
entertaining for everyone. Popular meeting points are
small art events, of which there are plenty in
Rosenheim. ASTA pub, Theater am Markt, or the
Hofbräu are some of the most well-known locations to
meet up with friends. Rosenheim's range of events is
significantly broadened by the attractions at the
Ballhaus, and the Citydome cinema complex shows a
wide range of films. The newly built municipal library in
Rosenheim serves not only as a meeting point for
young people, but it also promotes learning with its
large and sophisticated collection of books, CDs, and
DVDs.
