Kiel: Here beats the heart of Schleswig-Holstein

Kiel has around 236.000 inhabitants. Here beats the heart of the economic and cultural region of Schleswig-Holstein. Both locals and visitors from abroad enjoy a broad and diverse range of culture and an intellectual climate of openness, curiosity and productivity. Kiel has a lot to offer: Theatre and opera, cinema and concerts, musicals and choirs, galleries, museums, botanical gardens, cultural organisations or important concerts stages as part of the world-renowned Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival. One of the largest halls for events in Germany is the Sparkassen-Arena-Kiel.
