In 2014 the Society organised a group visit to the Heinz Nixdorf Museumsforum in
Paderborn, Germany
www.hnf.de/en/home.html
Such was the success of the trip that we have repeated it each spring,
visiting computer history museums throughout Europe.
In 2023, we are returning to our friends in Paderborn to see the progress that has
been made and to experience, once again, the world's largest computer museum.
The centrepiece of our visit will be our day at the Museum itself on Saturday 15th April.
The plan is to foregather the previous evening for dinner in one of the excellent local
restaurants (everything you may have heard about German cuisine is wrong– it’s great)
and, in all likelihood, this will be repeated the following evening.
All CCS and TNMoC members and their guests are warmly invited.
Do join us. It will be fun!
Our previous hotel, the Arosa Hotel in the Westernmauer, a Best Western hotel,
is our planned base for the weekend.
Hotel and travel arrangements are, of course, the individual responsibility of participants.
There is an airport at Paderborn, but it is quite a long way out and flights from the UK tend
to be via Munich!
Flying to Dusseldorf or Dortmund and thence by rail to Paderborn would appear to be a better bet.
Or perhaps take to the rails all the way from St Pancras.
A few of us are planning an excursion by rail on Sunday 16th to (relatively) nearby
Wuppertal to experience the well-known “Danglebahn”
(more properly the Schwebebahn – a unique suspended monorail railway)
and you are welcome to join us.
As usual, Dan Hayton will be our organiser. You should contact him at
so we know you’re coming.
