Housing for international researchers

• Take a look at the various guest houses and apartments available for international researchers several months prior to your arrival.
• Fill out the accommodation request form, indicate your accommodation preference(s).
• Have your host department send the accommodation request to Ms. Beate Seidemann, your accommodation contact in the International Office.
• Ms. Seidemann will then contact you with an offer, stating the final rental costs.
• After your acceptance of the offer, you will receive a binding reservation confirmation and additional information regarding your stay in our guest house.

A guest account is required to access the internet in our guesthouses. This guest account will be provided to you by your host department. For the start of your research stay, the Welcome Centre can provide you with a temporary LoginID to your guest account to insure that you stay connected.

You can alternatively login via eduroam. If you don't have already have an eduroam account, you may be eligible to receive one from your home university.

In the guesthouse "Uni-Forum", internet access is only possible via cable (no wifi or landline). The purchase and/or usage of a private WLAN router is not allowed in any guesthouse.

• All prices are subject to change. As soon as we receive the accommodation request from your host department, we will make you a binding offer. These prices do not include the Media licence fee (Rundfunkbeitrag). In addition, a deposit of one or two months' rent (for a stay of six months or longer) must be paid separately before arrival. A final cleaning and any replacement/repair services needed after your departure will be taking out of your deposit.
• Unfortunately, we do not accept credit or debit cards. We ask for the deposit payment to be made via bank transfer or as a cash deposit to our bank account.
• The deposit payment must be made four weeks prior to your arrival and the first rental payment be made within the first ten days of arrival.
• Please note that a booking is binding and can only be cancelled free of charge up to max. one month before the start of the rental period.
• For organisational reasons, your move into one of our guest houses can only take place on the third business day of the first rental month starting at noon.
