EXPERIENCE MORE IN ZWEIBRÜCKEN

Palatinate joie de vivre and French "savoir-vivre" meet in southwest Germany, in the heart of Europe. Welcome to the city of Zweibrücken!

Zweibrücken, as a small medium-sized town and university location, was once the ducal residence and has always been a place for technical innovations, for art and culture promotion, a pioneer for school education and the cradle of democracy. The proximity to the border not only brings tolerance and cosmopolitanism, but also a little overdeveloped natural area, good air quality and quality of life. Instead of "mass" and "off the peg" there are still individual and personal things - appreciation and attention for the guest. An atmosphere that is perfect for conference groups of up to 500 people - here, looking after guests is still a real craft and hosts are still people with profile.
