Closed from December 22, 2025 to January 2, 2026.Since 2015, the cafeteria on the Finkenau art and media campus has offered a varied and delicious range of meat, vegetarian and vegan dishes in a modern setting. You can customise your meal at the pasta, salad and vegetable bar. There is also a front cooking area where you can watch your food being freshly prepared in a wok or on the grill, for example. For those with a sweet tooth, there is a colourful selection of delicious desserts. Happy hour starts 15 minutes before the food counter closes, during which you can get all self-service meals at half price (salad bar, pasta bar, vegetable bar, desserts, soups).

Cashless payment with the HAW Hamburg chip card, debit or credit card.
From April 1, 2026, payment in the cafeterias will only be possible with Girocard or cash! You can have the remaining balance on your HAW-card paid out at any cafeteria cash desk until June 30, 2026.
Until March 31, 2026, you can pay quickly and conveniently with your HAW Hamburg chip card at the cash registers in the the cafeterias Berliner Tor, Bergedorf and Finkenau as well as in the Café Berliner Tor, the Café Student Affairs in Bergedorf, the Café Finkenau and the Café Alexanderstraße.
The HAW has issued chip cards, so-called Mifare DESfire cards, to its employees in the departments at Berliner Tor, Bergedorf, Finkenau and Alexanderstraße. The cards serve as employee ID, door opener (key) and payment card. In cooperation with the HAW, the Studierendenwerk has introduced the function "Pay with chip card" for students and employees of the HAW at the cash desks of the cafeterias and cafés Berliner Tor, Bergedorf, Finkenau, and Alexanderstraße.
You can get the chip card at the HAW, which is responsible for issuing, personalizing, and swiping the chip cards. You can revalue the card at the chip card revalidators in or in front of the respective cafeterias and at their cash desks. Any remaining credit on the card can be paid out at the respective cash desks. If the chip card is lost or stolen, please report the loss to the HAW. If you approach us with a letter from the HAW, existing credit will be paid out beforehand or transferred to a new card.
