Association allemande des sites du patrimoine mondial de lUNESCO German UNESCO World Heritage Sites Association

As a witness to human history, three sites in the Hildesheim region have been elevated to the status of UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Because of their invaluable art treasures, two Hildesheim monuments were already included in the UNESCO commissions list of World Heritage Sites in 1985: together with the Saint Marys Cathedral and the cathedral treasure, St. Michaelis, as one of the most beautiful preRomanesque churches in Germany, preserves a unique ensemble of medieval interior decoration. Together, the two neighbouring and historically closely connected Hildesheim churches provide an impression of the design and interior

decoration of a Romanesque church interior, which cannot be found in such detail anywhere else. Since June 2011, yet another UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Fagus factory, can be admired in nearby historic Alfeld. The architecture of this building is unique and was a true trend-setter for its time. Being the first large construct by the famous architect and Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius, it is also considered to be the first building of the Moderne (modern architecture).

IMMERSE YOURSELF IN HISTORY


Founded in the 9th century, the city of Hildesheim is still home to cultural assets of universal significance. With the historic market square and its famous KnochenhauerAmtshaus, a former butchers guildhouse reputed to be the finest half-timbered building in the world, visitors are transported back into earlier centuries and the impressive half-timbered houses of earlier times. Thanks to the initiative of Hildesheims inhabitants but also due to generous donations, it was reconstructed to its original form between 1984 and 1990. Still to be admired in their original form, are the half-timbered houses in the quarter surrounding the Neustdter Market. This quarter once used to boast about 1,900 beautiful houses, and to this very day, thanks to the remaining original streets, it is still possible to imagine the beauty these houses must have had. This regions numerous churches and abbeys also bear witness to its rich and varied history. Guided group tours are conducted in many of its places of worship.

The Roemer- und Pelizaeus-Museum (RPM) is one of the most significant museums of Northern Germany. It is primarily renowned for its world-famous treasures of ancient Egyptian culture, in particular the rich findings of the pyramid period. In this regard, among others, reference is to be made to the unique and true-to-life size statue of the vizier Hem-iunu, who supervised construction of the Pyramid of Cheops. Since 2011, the year marking the 100th birthday of the Hildesheim ancient Egyptian collection, the permanent exhibition, presented in three segments, has shown itself in an entirely new light: the Old Empire takes the visitors on a trip back to the genesis of ancient Egyptian culture, and continues through the ages, right up to its first period of prosperity. Life along the River Nile gives the visitors a first insight into the different facets of daily life in ancient Egypt. The afterlife exhibition finishes of the presentation with Death in the Desert. The RPM also is in possession of one of the most important collections of Chinese porcelain in Europe, of which approximately 100 artefacts have also been presented in a new permanent exhibition since the end of 2011. In the centre one can marvel at the beautiful mono and multi-coloured porcelains from the 15th to the 19th centuries. The exhibition has been divided into different thematic areas and succeeds in providing the visitors with an insight into decoration techniques as well as the large array of different motifs, and their significance. In addition, the RPM regularly holds special exhibitions on a variety of themes from the world of art and culture, and this has succeeded in spreading the Museums fame beyond regional borders. In conjunction with a variety of different supporting programmes, these exhibitions always inspire a broad public of virtually all ages and a great variety of interests.

PARKHOTEL BERGHLZCHEN

VIER STERNE IN HILDESHEIM

The Parkhotel Berghlzchen is located in the heart of Germany, along the A7, in the centre of Hildesheim with a unique panorama view across the city. It is centrally situated, yet quiet, located on the rise of the Moritzberg and surrounded by nature. From here the hotel has looked out over Germanys smallest metropolis, ever since its founding in 1790. Originally intended as a restaurant for the Hildesheim residents that offered a small dance parlour, this hotel has cast its feathers and in the course of a colourful history has evolved to become a 4- star hotel.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR OFFERS OF PACKAGE TRAVEL BY TOURIST-INFORMATION HILDESHEIM


Dear Tourist, The following terms and conditions of package travel apply to package of-fers (totality of travel services pursuant to 651a par. 1 BGB (German Civil Code)). Insofar as they are deemed by the statutory provisions to have been agreed with legal effect, they are contents of the tourist travel contract between you, called the Tourist below, and us as tourist travel organizer, tourist-information Hildesheim, abbreviated to ti Hi below, that is formed in accordance with the statutory provisions of 651a m BGB when you book travel. Therefore, please read these provisions care-fully. 1. Conclusion of the Tourist Travel Contract 1.1. The Tourist submits his or her reservation preference to ti Hi, orally or by letter, by fax, e-mail or internet. This preference is not yet binding on the Tourist and does not yet constitute an offer that is binding on the Tourist. In the case of elec-tronic reservations that are marked as binding, the Tourist immediately receives a confirmation of reservation electronically. 1.2. In accordance with the Tourists reservation preference, ti Hi sends the Tourist a definite offer with services, prices and times by e-mail (or by telephone for last minute offers) and makes a binding offer to the Tourist of a tourist travel contract that is based on the descriptions in the offer. 1.3. The tourist travel contract becomes legally binding on the Tourist and ti-Hi as soon as and provided that the Tourists unconditional declaration of acceptance of the offer as is (without any additions, restrictions or other changes) is received by ti-Hi by letter, fax or e-mail within the time period allowed by ti-Hi for ac-ceptance of the offer. The offer can also be accepted by telephone if this is stated in the offer (for last minute reservations). The tourist travel contract becomes le-gally binding when the Tourists declaration of acceptance is received by ti-Hi. The Tourist is then sent, without delay, confirmation of receipt of this declaration as well as the guarantee certificate prescribed by law. Please note that the tourist travel contract is binding even if this confirmation from ti-Hi is not received. 1.4. If the Tourists declaration of acceptance contains any additions, restrictions or other changes relative to the offer from ti-Hi, then a legally binding contract has not yet been formed. Instead, this declaration from the Tourist constitutes a new offer by the Tourist that is binding on the Tourist for a period of 10 days. A tourist travel contract is formed on the basis of this offer only if and when ti-Hi accepts this offer within this time period by letter, fax, e-mail or, with last minute travel, by telephone. 1.5. The person making the reservation is liable for all obligations under the tourist travel contract of any other tourists registered in this contract insofar as he or she has assumed this responsibility by explicit separate written declaration. 2. Payment, Guarantee Certificate 2.1. Payments of or toward the travel price may be demanded or accepted before the travel ends only if the guarantee certificate of 651k par. 3 BGB has been issued to the Tourist. 2.2. However, as exceptions to point 2.1, the guarantee certificate of 651k par. 3 BGB does not have to be issued to the Tourist if a) the trip does not last longer than 24 hours, includes no overnight stays and the travel price is at most 75, or b) if there is an agreement that, as an exception to points 2.3 and 2.4 below, the entire travel price is not due for payment until the trip is over and if the travel services under the contract do not include transportation of any Tourist s from their place of residence to the holiday destination or from the holiday destination back to their place of residence. 2.3. When the contract has been concluded (receipt by ti-Hi of the Tourists declara-tion of acceptance) and the guarantee certificate has been delivered to the Tour-ist, then a deposit in the amount of 10% of the travel price is due for payment and will be credited to the entire travel price. 2.4. Payment of the balance is due 2 weeks before the travel begins, when it is clear that the trip will be conducted, and, in particular, can no longer be cancelled for any of the reasons stated in point 7.2. 2.5. If advance payments have been agreed, if the guarantee certificate has been de-livered, if the Tourist does not have a contractual or statutory right of retention and if ti-Hi is prepared and in a position to render the contractually agreed ser-vices, then a) the Tourist has a right to the contractually agreed services only if the travel price has been paid in full, and b) if the agreed advance payments have not been received by ti-Hi on time and have not been made even after ti-Hi has sent a reminder that sets a reasonable period of grace, then ti-Hi can withdraw from the tourist travel contract and charge the Tourist withdrawal costs pursuant to point 5.3 of these standard terms and conditions for offers of pack-age travel. 3. Services 3.1. ti-His obligation to render services is based solely on a) the contents of the con-firmation of reservation and the descriptions in brochures and/or ti-His offer that this confirmation refers to, b) any descriptions to which these brochures or the of-fer refer and c) any agreements concluded with the Tourist in writing or orally with legally binding effect. 3.2. The organizations that render services directly (e.g. providers of accommoda-tions, meals, sports, and transportation, cultural and leisure time facilities) are not authorized by ti-Hi to give assurances or make agreements that go beyond or are contrary to the travel descriptions of ti-Hi, ti-His offer or its confirmation of reser-vation or that modify the confirmed contents of the tourist travel contract. 3.3. Brochures, flyers, etc. other than those published by ti-Hi, such as brochures, flyers, etc. from the destination or hotel, are not binding on ti-Hi unless and then only to the extent they have been made a part of the contractually agreed ser-vices through an express agreement between ti-Hi and the Tourist. 4. Changes of Services Changes and deviations from the agreed contents of the tourist travel contract which become necessary after the contract was agreed and that have not been brought about by ti-Hi contrary to good faith, are permissible insofar as they are not substantial, do not lead to a significant change in the travel services and do not impact the overall form of the travel that has been reserved. Warranty claims, if any, are not affected by this when the changed services are deficient. Ti-Hi is obliged to inform the Tourist of such changes and deviations without delay. When appropriate, Ti-Hi will offer the Traveller a change of reservation or withdrawal from the contract free of charge. 5. Withdrawal by the Tourist, Change of Reservation 5.1. The Tourist can withdraw from the trip at any time before it begins. The date on which ti-Hi receives the Tourists declaration of withdrawal is decisive. Tourists are advised to declare such a withdrawal in written form. 5.2.

5.4. In lieu of compensation equal to the standard withdrawal charge stated above, ti Hi has the option under law of asserting a claim for compensation for damages that are equal to the expenses that ti Hi actually incurred for the trip in question. In this case the compensation to be paid can be greater than the standard with-drawal charge stated above. Then ti-Hi must notify the Tourist of its individual expenses and prove that they were actually incurred. 5.5. When a Tourist requests certain types of changes to a tourist travel contract after this contract has been agreed, ti-Hi can charge 15 for each change that is made. This is possible for change of travel dates within the time period for which the trip has been advertised, change of accommodations, change of meals (e.g. full board, half board, just breakfast) and changes in additional services that are reserved (e.g. concert and theatre tickets). 5.6. The foregoing regulations do not affect the Tourists right under the law (651b BGB) to provide a substitute tourist for the trip when the Tourist withdraws. 5.7. Tourists are urged to take out travel cancellation expenses insurance. 6. Services Not Used If a Tourist does not use certain tourist travel services because of early return travel or other compulsory reasons, then ti-Hi will endeavour to obtain from the relevant services providers reimbursement of expenses that are saved because of the Tourists non-participation. Ti-Hi is not obliged to do this if the monetary amounts in question are totally insignificant or reimbursement would conflict with statutory or governmental regulations. 7. Withdrawal and Cancellation by the Tourist Travel Organizer 7.1. After a Tourist has begun the trip, ti-Hi can cancel the tourist travel contract with-out notice if the Tourist continually disrupts the conduct of the trip even though ti Hi or an authorized representative has warned the Tourist, or the Tourists con-ducts him or herself contrary to the contract in such a way that immediate cancellation of the contract is justified. If ti-Hi then cancels, it continues to be entitled to the travel price, but must still reimburse any expenditures that are saved as well as any other benefits obtained by use in some other way of the services that were reserved, whereby this also includes any refunds from services providers. 7.2. If, for a given trip, ti Hi does not obtain reservations from the minimum number of participants stated in the tourist travel description, ti-Hi can cancel this trip and then withdraw from the contract under the following conditions: a) The minimum number of participants is stated in the confirmation of reservation or this confirmation refers the Tourist to the corresponding statement in the advertisement of the trip; b) ti-Hi is obliged to notify the Tourist in writing and without delay that the trip is being cancelled when it is clear that the minimum number of participants will not be reached, whereby ti-Hi must exercise this can-cellation option at least two weeks before the trip is scheduled to begin. c) When the trip is cancelled, each tourist affected has the right to de-mand participation in another trip of the same or greater value insofar as ti-Hi is in a position to offer the Tourist such a trip from its pro-gramme without additional charge. Upon receiving the cancellation no-tice, the Tourist must assert this right vis--vis ti Hi without delay. 8. Limitation of Liability The contractual liability of ti Hi for damages that do not constitute bodily injury is limited to three times the travel price if a) the damage sustained by the Tourist was not brought about by inten-tional or grossly negligent conduct, or b) ti-Hi is responsible for the damages sustained by the Tourist solely be-cause a services provider is at fault. 9. Obligations of the Tourist, (Complaints, Cancellation, Exclusion Period) 9.1. The Tourist is obliged to notify ti-Hi of any deficiencies and to demand corrective action without delay. If ti Hi is not notified without delay, the Tourist loses his or her rights unless the Tourist is not at fault for this failure to lodge a complaint di-rectly with ti Hi without delay. Please note that it is not sufficient to lodge the complaint with the relevant services provider, such as the provider of overnight accommodations. The complaint must be lodged directly with ti Hi. 9.2. If the trip is significantly impaired as a result of a deficiency or if a particular Tour-ist cannot reasonably be expected to put up with such a deficiency for an im-portant reason that ti Hi is able to perceive, then the Tourist can cancel the tour-ist travel contract in accordance with the statutory provisions (651e BGB). 9.3. Claims of the Tourist because certain travel services were not rendered in ac-cordance with the contract may be made only after the trip is over and must then be received by ti Hi within one month of the day on which the trip was scheduled to end. Claims must be asserted vis--vis ti Hi at the address given below. The deadline for asserting claims cannot be met by notifying the relevant services providers, such as, in particular, the provider of overnight accommodations. The tourist is urged to assert his or her claims in writing. The Tourist loses all rights unless the Tourist is not at fault for failure to lodge a complaint directly with ti Hi on or before the deadline. 10. Limitation Period 10.1.Claims of the Tourist based on loss of life, bodily injury or damage to health due to intentional or negligent violation of duty on the part of ti-Hi or any of its legal representatives or assistants are subject to a limitation period of two years. This also applies to claims for compensation for other damages based on intentional or grossly negligent violation of duty on the part of ti-Hi or any of its legal repre-sentatives or assistants. 10.2. All other claims pursuant to 651c f BGB are subject to a limitation period of one year. 10.3. The limitation periods of points 10.1 and 10.2 begin on the day on which the trip was scheduled to end in accordance with the contractual agreements. 10.4. When negotiations between the Tourist and ti Hi about the claim or the circum-stances that might justify the claim are in progress, the limitation period is sus-pended until the Tourist or ti Hi refuses to continue the negotiations. When sus-pension of the limitation period ends, the claim cannot become statute barred un-til at least three months have elapsed since the end of suspension. 11. Choice of Law and Place of Jurisdiction 11.1. The entire legal and contractual relationship between ti Hi and the Tourist is governed sole-ly by the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. 11.2. The Tourist can sue ti Hi only at ti His official seat of business. Legal proceedings against the Tourist can only be taken at the Tourists place of residence. In cases of legal proceed-ings against tourists who are merchants, legal entities under public or private law, or per-sons whose place of residence or usual abode lies outside Germany or whose place of res-idence or usual abode is not known at the time litigation is filed, jurisdiction for ti His official seat of business is deemed to have been agreed. 11.3. The foregoing provisions do not apply insofar as international treaties or conventions or provisions of the laws of the European Union that are to be applied to travel contracts pro-vide for or imply something else that is more advantageous to the Tourist as a consumer.
