Important note: The Kur- and Tourismusbeitragssatzung is from the 1st of April 2025 valid.

We want to make sure that your holidays in our beautiful baroque city are as pleasant and relaxing as possible.

How can we do that? Well, the tourist tax revenue is an indispensable contribution. It allows us to provide each guest with a tourist card.
