Venue

The 30th German Prevention Day takes place in Augsburg, in the Free State of Bavaria. The venue is the Augsburg Trade Fair Centre.

We want to highlight here that the city of Augsburg is offering an extensive supporting programme on the days before the 30th German Prevention Congress. Under the headline: ‘Your day for security and peace’, the ‘Aktionstag Prävention’ will take place in Augsburg city centre on the Saturday before the congress. Over 40 participants will present more than 60 hands-on stations, lectures and workshops. See the programme on the augsburg website.
 
With over 2.000 years of history, Augsburg is one of the oldest cities in Germany and bears the title ‘City of Peace’. This designation is based on a deeply rooted historical event that dates back to the confessional conflicts of the 17th century. After the Thirty Years' War, Augsburg became a symbol of religious tolerance and understanding between the denominations in 1648, as the Augsburg Religious Peace of 1555 is considered one of the first steps towards recognising religious diversity in Europe.

The 30th DPT will take place in Augsburg, the third largest city in Bavaria. Augsburg is the best of three worlds: a versatile event location, a city of tourist interest and the heart of a vibrant region. Whether global player or hidden champion - the Augsburg economic region offers everyone an environment in which they can grow. The diversity of expertise that is concentrated here is particularly impressive: from logistics and automotive to aerospace, health and environmental technology. Augsburg also boasts numerous scientific institutions as a research location, including the University of Augsburg and facilities of the Fraunhofer Institute and the German Aerospace Centre. The location also has a lot to offer in terms of quality of life. The over 2,000-year-old Fugger city of Augsburg invites you to discover its UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Augsburg Puppet Theatre and magnificent architecture from many centuries.
