Advice and online counselling

In order to get your own BAföG application underway or to discuss an existing application in more detail, we offer personal counselling at the Service Centre for Student Financing/BAföG on Tuesdays (9:00-12:00) and Thursdays (13:30-15:30). You do not need an appointment, but please allow some waiting time as we operate with a ticket system.

Frequently asked questions about food and drink

Where does the food for the canteen come from?

We buy many foodstuffs from traders in the region, such as meat and sausage products, fresh fruit and vegetables or baked goods. For example, our potatoes (about 95 tonnes annually) come exclusively from local fields. In addition, we buy our products from wholesalers, because only here can we get the sizes and containers we need. Wherever possible, we use fair trade and organic products.
