The one-day audio workshop is aimed at anyone who wants to automatically recognize and record birds and bats based on their vocalizations using their own recorders or our audio:trackers.

3–4 March| 21–22 April
Automatic radio telemetry| 2-Day Workshop

The workshops start early at 9 a.m., which is why we recommend that anyone traveling for a longer period of time book accommodation the evening before.

The second day is open ending and dependent on how quickly we progress. Especially those who want to take some more material with them should perhaps stay another night or expect it to start late. 

Address of the workshop venue: Hingilskoots Scheune, Schröcker Str. 29, 35043 Marburg

It has become something of a tradition for us to meet at the “Sudhaus” in Marburg city centre from 7.00 pm on the evening of our arrival, so that we can get to know one another. On the first evening of the workshop, a visit to a restaurant is also planned for anyone who would like to join in.

Accommodation & Getting Here

Marburg is easily accessible by train; the Hingilskoots Scheune is located in the Schröck district. If you’re travelling by train, you can take bus number 80 from Marburg Südbahnhof. This bus usually runs once an hour and takes about 15 minutes to reach Schröck. The bus stop is right next to the workshop venue and is called “Schröck Bürgerhaus”.

If you’re travelling by car, please do not park directly in the car park in front of the workshop venue, as these spaces are reserved for the volunteer fire brigade. You’re welcome to park along Zelterstraße or in other side streets.

There are no accommodation options in Schröck itself, so we recommend booking a place to stay in Marburg. As we’re all from Marburg, we’re not very familiar with the hotels in the city ourselves. The following three options have been rated highly by our participants:

Marburger Hof, Welcome Hotel and Elisabeth Apartments.

Catering

Coffee, tea, water and biscuits will be provided for you; please organise your own meals for the rest of the time. At lunchtime, we’d like to order pizza together, and on the first evening we’d love to go to a restaurant together.
