Eurofurence 13, "The Unlucky Thirteen", is a European furry convention that was held from the 5th to 9th of September, 2007 in Europe at the Ringberg Resort Hotel at Suhl, located in the Thuringian Forest of Thuringia, Germany.

Theme: "The Unlucky Thirteen"

Upon entering the Ringberg Hotel in Suhl. Guests were greeted by a bright flashing sign reading: “Welcome to Eurofurence The Unlucky 13” The style of it was that you would typically associate with Vegas! Leaving no doubt in the mind you were in the right place. Though the theme revolved around casino's and all the glamour that went with it, gambling with real money was discouraged.[1]
