About Kiel

Kiel is the capital of Schleswig-Holstein, the most northern federal state of Germany. A charming city of about 240,000 inhapitants, Kiel has a lot to offer – e. g. one of the largest ferry harbours in Germany with over two million passengers a year. Kiel is the gate not only to Scandinavia, but also to the whole Baltic Region. The harbour is the hub of the Baltic Sea area, with the big passenger- and cruise liners sailing right into the heart of the city.
But Kiel is more. Kiel's business life consists mostly of service industries, marine technology, IT-technology and the educational institutions with more than 30,000 students. Furthermore Kiel has become an attractive shopping centre and a favourite location for congresses
