Doing Business in Europe: Opportunities & Challenges — SUMMER PROGRAM 05
LEIPZIG
Leipzig enjoys a long and remarkable history as a city of merchants, scholars and
artists. Richard Wagner, Johann Sebastian
Bach and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe all
lived in and provided the basis for Leipzig’s booming cultural and art scene. Currently Neo Rauch, the father of the New
Leipzig School of Artists, is making a significant impact on the contemporary art
world. And in 1989, the city of the Peaceful
Revolution, helped bring down communist rule throughout the former Eastern
Germany. Thus Leipzig is a vibrant cosmopolitan city with attractions and history waiting to be explored. The New York
Times even ranked Leipzig among the top
10 of “The 31 Places to Go in 2010”.
During your stay a wealth of leisure activities tempts you everywhere you go, both
in and around Leipzig. Whether cycling
along the canals, rowing on the river Elster, checking out the newest art at the
infamous Spinnerei or visiting one of the
numerous museums – you will quickly
PRAGUE
Prague – historical pearl of Europe – is one
of the most beautiful cities in the world.
A textbook of architectural styles with its
wealth of monuments, a city filled with
music, romance and nostalgia is mainly a
modern city full of life!
Enjoy discovering what was formerly the
ancient capital of Charles IV’s Bohemian
Kingdom, by walking through the city
center, which spans the banks of the Vltava River. Begin at Old Town Square, which
is the heart of the center boasting of numerous cafes, shops and a thriving night
life. Nearby is New Town home of the
“Dancing House” designed by the famous
architects Vlado Milunić and Frank Gehry.
Stroll through the Jewish Quarter, which
offers a moving glance and lesson as to the
history of the area, as well as the opportunity to shop in high end boutiques. Walk
across the breathtaking Charles Bridge
where one can enjoy local artwork and
performers while overlooking the city of
Prague on both sides of the river. At the
end of the bridge, one find’s oneself in
Lesser Town filled with some of Prague’s
best Czech pubs and restaurants offering
local cuisine. A must on the list is a visit to
Prague’s Castle located in the heart of the
Castle District.
Whether one is interested in art, history,
shopping in European boutiques or simply wants to stroll along cobble streets,
one will quickly realize why in 1992
Prague was listed in the UNESCO World
Cultural and Natural Heritage.
gain a glimpse as to why Leipzig fever is
spreading throughout Germany. In the
evening, bustling night life, bars and clubs
from very traditional to Avant garde are
open all night long. If you are looking for
cultural inspiration, you cannot go wrong
visiting the Leipzig Opera or the worldfamous Gewandhaus Orchestra. Moreover,
with Berlin and Dresden being only 1 hour
away by train, it is easy to make a day trip
and explore these cities as well!

leading management institutions to the present day, offering international business
education based on elite academic standards.

HHL Leipzig Graduate School of Management, founded in 1898 as Germany’s first business school, was the birthplace of modern management education. From its inception,
HHL has been committed to rigorous management instruction and research, and quickly
developed an international reputation. After the peaceful East German revolution of
1989, which started in the streets of Leipzig, HHL rediscovered the entrepreneurial
spirit of its founding days and was restructured as a high-performing private business
school – again with full university status.
Today – HHL among Germany’s top business schools
The philosophy behind all our programs is to focus on the student by offering close
student-faculty interaction, in-depth business and academic experiences, at the same
time developing the students’ leadership potential and networking skills.
Tomorrow – HHL among the top European business schools
We continue to build on our highly successful model and reputation for excellence.
We update our curriculum according to the needs of global employment markets to
further internationalize our expertise and keep HHL at the forefront of business
education and professional training. We invite you to become part of HHL’s promising
future.
