     The staff at the reception works from 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m.  The accommodation is without breakfast.
     (You may have breakfast in the the restaurant of the Bonhoeffer-Haus, some minutes walk in the same
       street, price per person 11,- DM  (Ooops! This is a 'copy and paste' error. Of course, we have Euros by now (divide by 2))

      The S-Bahn station "Friedrichstrasse" crosses the street Friedrichstrasse. When you get out at the main
       entrance of the station, you'll have to go north, i.e. the opposite of where you can see a tram station on the street.
       After about 50 meters you will cross the river Spree (you are right then!) The next street on the right after the Spree
       already is the Ziegelstrasse. Turn into it and walk until number 13 (on the right). You have just passed it, if you reach
       the street Tucholskystrasse.

3. LEUCOREA
 
 

The address of the workshop location (accomodation and lecture hall) is

Leucorea
Collegienstrasse 62
06886 Lutherstadt Wittenberg
Tel.: +49 (0) 3491 4660
Fax: +49 (0) 3491 466-222
 

We, Arkady Pikovsky and Evelyn Buckwar, will receive the participants at the Leucorea (with signs directing you to the conference office)  on sunday  from around 1 pm.
As you will arrive at different times, we have not arranged a joint dinner at the canteen (where the other meals will take place). However, there are several restaurants
in the vicinity of the Leucorea.

It is a ten minute walk from the train station to the Leucorea (see also the link to Leucorea on the home page of the workshop, there is a map on their website). When you
leave the train station via a tunnel, you will first see a small building with a red roof and a EC-cash point sign on top of it. Behind that are more rail tracks. Turn to the left
and follow the footpath along the tracks. There are two bridges coming up, the first goes over the tracks and the road (actually it ends in midair on both sides), the
second takes the tracks over a road. At that point turn right. You will see a traffic junction ahead, go straight over that one. Shortly after that, the road bifurcates, take the
left road, this is the Collegienstrasse. Number 62 is a white building on the left.  The sign announcing "Leucora" is not very big or impressive. However, directly after that
there is a large, red  "A"-sign for "Apotheke" (pharmacy), the Löwen-Apotheke. If you found that, go back  five paces ;-)  .
