H-Con

H-Con is a small, long-running German furry convention held in recent years at the Petershof, a self-catering group house near Erbach im Odenwald. An "old-time" house con hosted by the AFC-Group, it runs on a do-it-together spirit where every attendee is part of the crew.

2027: H-Con 23 To Be Announced

H-Con 23 has no published dates, theme or registration price yet. The last three editions ran in late September or early October, each with its own theme, and H-Con 22 cost €140 for the whole con. Registration opens on the official site, and news appears first on the H-Con Telegram channel. With only about 60 places in the house, it pays to watch for the opening.

Why Attend?

H-Con is the small-and-cozy end of the convention spectrum. Instead of a hotel, it takes over a self-catering house at the edge of the Odenwald forest, and instead of a passive badge, every attendee becomes part of the crew that makes the weekend run. The food is plentiful and all-you-can-eat, dogs are welcome with notice, and the ~60-person cap keeps it intimate. For furries who want a relaxed, communal house party in the German countryside rather than a big-con bustle, H-Con is a long-established option with a loyal following.

What Are the Highlights of H-Con?

• House-Con Format: A self-catering group house at the forest edge, not a hotel.
• Everyone Is Crew: Attendees collectively run the weekend in old-time con style.
• All-You-Can-Eat: Plentiful self-catered food for the whole house.
• Dog-Friendly: Dogs welcome with advance registration.

How Do I Get to H-Con?

By air: The nearest major airport is Frankfurt (FRA); the Odenwald sits between Frankfurt and Heidelberg.

By car: The Petershof is near Erbach im Odenwald in the Mümling valley, with limited on-site parking and additional parking a short walk away. A car is the easiest way in.

By transit: Erbach (Odenwald) is reachable by regional rail from the Frankfurt/Darmstadt area; arrange the final stretch to the house via the convention's Telegram.

Where Should I Stay for H-Con?

The 2024 to 2026 editions were hosted at the Petershof itself, a self-catering group house with rooms for 2-10 people, so your stay was part of the convention rather than a separate hotel. With capacity around 60, the house is the event; book through the official registration once it opens, as spaces are limited.
