We welcome all accompanying persons to participate in the social program during the colloquium held in Cologne.
Apart from the Cologne Sigthseeing Tour wednesday afternoon together with the participants and the conference dinner at Haus Unkelbach wednesday evening, we organized trips to two nearby attractions:
Neandertal & the human history museum
TUESDAY 26.08.2025
9.30 am – 3 pm
Meeting point: 9:30 am
Registration Desk of the HRMS2025
Neandertal valley is the place where workers digging for gypsum discovered bones from prehistoric humans, thereafter called Neandertaler. A museum has been built at this place which we will visit after a bus coach ride of approximately one hour. We will enjoy a guided tour through the exhibition with time to explore the museum and the historic site by yourself. We will return to Köln in the early afternoon.

Augustusburg Brühl
THURSDAY 28.08.2025
10 am – 2 pm
Meeting point: 10:00 am
Registration Desk of the HRMS2025
We will go to the palace of Augustusburg, which is a UNESCO cultural heritage site, by a 15 minute train ride from the conference site. It used to be a palace of the German government and it is of historic interest. We will enjoy a guided tour of the palace and depending on the weather conditions it will be very pleasant to explore the gardens of the Palace on our own.
Afterwards there is time to visit the small city of Brühl where you can enjoy a late lunch. Depending on your interest, next to the palaces there is the Max-Ernst museum which is worth a visit. Again the afternoon is free for your own plans and you can easily return to Köln by train or tram. We will provide you with public transportation tickets.
Places which you may want to explore on your own during your time in Köln.
