Erlangen is one of the best preserved examples of Baroque city planning in Germany – and the smallest city in Bavaria. Not only that, it is also the perfect university town: lecture halls, seminar rooms, libraries and cafeterias are never far away, the students contribute to the town’s special flair and there is always something going on. The International Comic Salon, the puppet theater and the poetry festival are just as at home in the city as the well-known Erlangen Bergkirchweih, the queen of beer festivals. Relax in the Schlossgarten over lunch, pop into a café on the way to the library or drop in to University sports or a beer garden on your way home from FAU Campus Erlangen South – the choice is yours. The atmosphere in Erlangen is both welcoming and international, largely thanks to the nearly 30,000 students at FAU, most of whom study in Erlangen, and the approximately 10,000 employees from the whole of Germany and abroad who have their offices, teach and research in Erlangen. In addition, major global players such as adidas and Siemens are located in the region and enjoy close connections to FAU and Erlangen itself.
