Wow, very nice, this alone is reason enough to ride for germany nationals, unfortunally a can't go (Brazil is a bit too far)

getting to the venue:

by public transportation:
Plane:
There is a shuttlebus from Frankfurt International Airport to Station "Luisenplatz" that is the Darmstadt City Center every 30 minutes.
Trains:
Most long-distance trains going to Darmstadt will stop at "Darmstadt HBF" that is the Main Train Station at the western border of Darmstadt. Many possibilities to get to the venue from there.
- One station in direction Frankfurt with local trains "S-Bahn" will get you to Arheilgen station and two stops with bus (Line A) will get you to the event.
- Regional trains might stop at Darmstadt-North "Nordbahnhof" that is between City center "Luisenplatz" and the venue. The tramline between these stops there every 10 minutes.
Tram & Bus:
The closest local stop is called "Messeler Strasse" for those using the communal transportation app. The german train app from DB works as well as the app from local transportation provider RMV. Tramline 6 and 8 from center as well as Busline A from "S-Bahn" station Arheilgen stops here.

by car:
from north via Autobahn A661 through Egelsbach onto B3 in southern direction
from north via Autobahn A5 exit Langen to Egelsbach and onto B3 in southern direction
from north or south via Autobahn A5 exit Weiterstadt bypass B3 in northern direction

From B3 you enter the main street "Frankfurter Landstrasse" going through Arheilgen from the north going south. The venue is located in "Messeler Strasse" crossing that.

parking:
Should someone be in need of parking on the venue due to medical or other relevant reasons, please contact the organizers. We have a few parking spots there, that can be used by anyone otherwise. The venue is in a residental area. The street an if needed the streets around can be used without any fees. Usually there is enough room.

If you like to attent and have any questions about the venue or how to get there, please contact the organizers under dm2024 [dot] vtes [at] sonnenberg [dot] se

We will try to offer a live stream not only of the finals but also of one table each of the preliminary rounds.

This means especially two things:
• We will have veteran Ralf Weppner as non-playing full-time judge.
• If you decide to join the German 30th Anniversary party as well, please let me know as soon as possible. (I calculated the prize support for up to 30 players and would prefer to have time in advance to add additional stuff if needed.)
