The elegant MARITIM Hotel Stuttgart is the permanent partner of the Kultur- und Kongresszentrum Liederhalle. Therefore, we recommended the conference participants to put up at this hotel during the Symposium that is affordable and located in a convenient place in the city. 

It is not far from the main railway station and the cultural  attractions of the lively city.

Next to the street reside some lodestones such as the Old Castle which dates back to the 10th century, the New Castle built by Duke Carl Eugen von Wuerttemberg (1744 - 1793), the Königsbau building in the Late Classical style of architecture or the Stuttgart State Gallery, an art museum of international renown.
