HORIZONTE Regensburg: Deutschkurse, German CoursesAbout the
Our German language school HORIZONTE was founded in 1986 and has quickly earned a good international reputation through its high standard of teaching German and its personal, friendly and unbureaucratic working ethos.
The main goals at our German language school are:
– the development of communication skills in spoken and written present-day German
– an introduction to the contemporary social, political and cultural situation in Germany
Location: Our language school is on the 4th floor (there is a lift, too) of an office building (see the red spot in the foto at the right) in the medieval city centre of Regensburg, 1 km from the railway station. We have eight permanent bright fully equipped classrooms (and more in peak season) with picturesque views over the city and to the cathedral.

The Intensive German Course includes the Standard Language Course in the morning plus 10 weekly lessons in a mini-group (2-4 people) in the afternoon. If you are the only student of your level to take an intensive course, you will get 5 individual lessons per week instead.
