Institut für Übersetzen und Dolmetschen
The Institut für Übersetzen und Dolmetschen stands in Heidelberg as part of Heidelberg University, founded in 1386. Its rooms bring translation, interpreting, communication and language technology together.
Master’s programmes connect academic study with professional practice, including Translation, Communication and Language Technology. Double degrees link Heidelberg with the universities of Bologna and Salamanca. Conference Interpreting prepares students for multilingual conferences, organisations and institutions. Research examines translation studies, cross-cultural communication and tools for less widely spoken languages. Projects also explore how argumentation crosses languages and how technology supports translators and interpreters.
Guest lectures and workshops address literary translation, children’s literature and language technology. At Model United Nations, students practise interpreting in realistic multilingual situations. A specialist library supports study and research in translation, interpreting and language studies. Erasmus exchanges, internships and study-skills courses extend the institute’s international and practical focus.

The myTuur app is free, and once you are standing at a spot its story starts by itself.
Spots like this one are the stops myTuur strings into tours through Heidelberg. In the app, each story begins where you stand: walk up to a spot and it starts, read it on screen or listen as you go, then follow the route to the next one.
What is myTuur?
myTuur is a free city-guide app. Its tours are built from spots, and each spot carries a story that starts when you get there, to read or to listen to as you like.
