Date and Place of the School ^

The 17-th European School of High-Energy Physics will be held from 14 to 27 June, 2009 in Bautzen. The lectures and discussion sessions will all take place in the Spree Hotel, using the hotel's conference facilities.

Spree Hotel

The hotel is located 4 km outside the historical center of Bautzen on the banks of the lake Stausee which is flushed through by the River Spree. The lake is also known as the Bautzen reservoir, and it is one of the best-studied river-lake systems worldwide. The almost 1000 year-old Bautzen town is situated 80 km north-east from Dresden, Saxony.
Bautzen is often regarded as the unofficial, but historical capital of Upper Lusatia a historical region between the Bóbr and Kwisa rivers and the Elbe river in the eastern German states of Saxony and Brandenburg, south-western Poland and the northern Czech Republic. It is the most important cultural center of the Sorbs, a Slavic minority.
