Location

Our 8th SEC annual meeting took place from May 2nd to 4th, 2022 at the HKK Hotel Wernigerode. The Conference offered "everything under one roof," so that the 8th SEC annual meeting was also a Conference of short distances. You can download our flyer for the Conference in Wernigerode here as a PDF.

Wernigerode is a very attractive small town in the middle of the Harz Mountains. It is known for its many half-timbered houses and a particularly magnificent town hall from the Renaissance period. The Conference was followed by May 1st, a public holiday, and with it the night of the witches, Walpurgis Night. It is celebrated especially in Wernigerode and Schierke (known for Schierker Feuerstein, a herbal bitters) and of course on the Brocken. But even without witches and devils, the Harz Mountains are ideal for hiking and relaxing. In addition to the Harz Mountains, attractive excursion destinations in the area include Quedlinburg, Halberstadt, Goslar and Gernrode, see excursion destinations below.
