Notice that there is always the possibility of a last minute change players on your table.

Note that the pricing system of Deutsche Bahn is complicated. Contact me for infos on discounts. In general, it is cheaper to buy your ticket at least 4 days ahead. It is possible to pay with your credit card and print the ticket.

By Air:
Frankfurt or Duesseldorf, then by train to Hofgeismar. I will try to arrange carpools.

By Car:
The front door of the hotel is not accessible by car. Free car parking is available at “Georgenstrasse”; it is roughly a 15-seconds walk from there to the hotel´s back entrance.

11. Miscellaneous:
The hall capacity is max. 10 playing tables, usually matched at 5 players a table. Some tables might end up with 4 or 6 players.
If you want to play as a team, we will match you up provided there is another team of equal strength for the opposite side. Teams willing to play the Allies are difficult to match.
At the joint dinner on saturday, we will award the prizes.

Looking forward to seeing you all again,
regards Markus.
