The region Internship

Bayreuth is a world famous cultural hub and university town located in southern Germany in the region of Upper Franconia. With a population of around 75.000 inhabitants, of which 13.000 are students of the University of Bayreuth, it serves as the region’s economic and scientific center.
Bayreuth has a rich historical record and many sights show its past. The city’s international fame stems primarily from Margravine Wilhelmine, who transformed the residence into a baroque masterpiece in the 18th century, and Richard Wagner, the legendary composer who chose Bayreuth as his creative home in 1872.

Bayreuth is situated between Franconian Switzerland and Fichtelgebirge, two small mountain ranges with beautiful forests. There are many hiking trails, you can go mountain biking or canoeing or explore one of the many caves embedded in the mountains.

In Bayreuth there are a lot of parks that are perfect to meet friends and enjoy the weather. The historical Hofgarten sits right in the city center and  is a common meeting space for local students. There are multiples pools in town, so you can warm up and relax at Lohengrin thermal baths in winter and  cool down at Kreuzstein open air bathes right next to the university in the summer time. Other winter activities include ice skating or skiing at the Ochsenkopf mountain.

Bayreuth is also renowned for its beer. The Maisel’s Brewery with its beer adventure world is located in the city and you will be able to try a lot of different beer from local breweries during your stay here.
