Accommodation for Students and Trainees
Your home in Hamburg

It is not so easy to find a suitable and inexpensive room in Hamburg in time for the beginning of the semester and the start of training. We therefore recommend that you inform yourself even before you receive your admission.

In our 26 housing facilities with around 4,400 places, we offer German and international students and trainees a home with an affordable all-inclusive rent. There are different types of housing, rooms in shared apartments, but also 1-person or 2-person apartments. The residents share a kitchen, a common room and the sanitary facilities.

In our Counselling Centre Accommodation we are happy to answer your questions about housing.

Unfortunately no.

I would like to cancel, what do I have to do?

We require written notice of termination with your original signature no later than 6 weeks before the end of the month in which you wish to move out.

What do I have to bear in mind when dealing with the broadcasting fee?

To make it a little easier for you to deal with the broadcasting fee, we have compiled the most frequently asked questions/answers.  

We offer you a cable TV and internet connection free of charge; however, the broadcasting fee is not included and is therefore your own responsibility. The Studierendenwerk Hamburg - AöR cannot and must not pay the broadcasting fee for you, as this is a matter of private law.
