International Conference:
Representation Theory of Algebras

Sunday, September 6, 1998


Excursion to the Weser and to Bückeburg Castle


For those mathematicians who participate at both conferences, we arrange (free of charge) a sightseeing tour on Sunday, September 6.

We will leave Bielefeld at

10:30

and go by bus to Vlotho, a lovely scenic town at the Weser; we will stay there for two hours (and there is the possibility to have lunch). From 14:00 to 16:00, we will take a boat tour on the Weser from Minden to the Porta Westfalica (with its monument for Kaiser Wilhelm I built in 1896); also we will see the Minden waterway cross-roads (since 1914, the Mittelland canal has been led across the Weser with the aid of a 341 metre long trough-like bridge). Finally, we are going to visit Bückeburg castle (the oldest parts are approximately 700 years old, it still serves as the seat of the Schaumburg-Lippe dynasty). We will return around 20:00.

Start and return is in front of the Train Station (Hauptbahnhof).
