Turn left and walk past two blocks of houses at the Bismarckstraße. After about 10 minutes you can see the east wing of the Mannheim Castle on the left side. Enter the east wing through the main door (3) and go upstairs to the first floor (4). The Aula (room no. O 101/10) and the Fuchs-Petrolub-Festsaal (room no. O 138) are well signposted.

WIf you prefer taking the tram, you can take the trams number 1 (in direction: "Schönau, Endstelle") and 5 (in direction: "Paradeplatz - Heidelberg") to the stop "Universität" (2). Cross the tram lines and enter the east wing through the side entrance directly in front of you. Go straight ahead and enter the glass building. Follow the staircase on the left-hand side upstairs to the first floor. The Fuchs-Petrolub-Festsaal (room no. O 138) is now directly in front of you, the Aula (room no. O 101/10) is situated in the hallway left of the Fuchs-Petrolub-Festsaal (4). The rooms are well signposted.
