Appeal to Private Landlords: Housing for Students Needed!

This fall, many young people will once again begin their studies at universities and colleges in the region. However, many of the beds offered by the Studierendenwerk are already allocated. For many locations, applications are no longer being accepted.

For many, finding an affordable place to live in the local housing market is even more challenging than securing a spot at university. This is especially difficult for students who need to manage their finances carefully. That’s why we are asking for your help: support these young people as they embark on this new and important phase of their lives by offering them an affordable place to live! Rent out rooms and apartments to students, or allow your tenants to sublet to students at a reasonable price. Every available room helps – even if it’s just for one or two semesters!

We encourage you to use the Studierendenwerk Tübingen-Hohenheim’s private room accommodation service to rent out your room to students. Our service is free and simple, helping students find the accommodation they need.

Rent adjustment as of 01 October 2024

Housing

The Studierendenwerk Tübingen-Hohenheim will increase rents for dormitories by an average of 5% from 1 October 2024. This is the first rent increase in over four years. The adjustment will only apply to new contracts; existing tenants will not be affected.

Edith Hein, Managing Director of the Studierendenwerk, explains: “We are aware of the financial burden on many students. For this reason, we have not increased rents in recent years. The partly massive price increases for energy and cleaning, among other things, make a moderate increase unavoidable”. She adds: “Our aim is still to offer socially acceptable housing for students. We remain by far the most affordable landlord for students.”

Elsewhere, however, the Studierendenwerk is keeping prices stable. In the winter semester 2024/2025, the semester fee will remain comparatively low at around €56. On average across Germany, students have to pay €78 as a student union fee. Many student unions in Germany have recently raised their fees significantly.

Renovation of Schwerzstrasse 2 and 3 hall of residence completed

Housing

Hinweis

There are currently still many rooms available in the newly renovated hall of residence! If you are interested, simply send a short e-mail to our hall of residence administration in Hohenheim (info [dot] hoh [at] sw-tuebingen-hohenheim [dot] de). You can also move in at short notice during the current summer semester.

Over the past 11 months, the Studierendenwerk has extensively renovated the student hall of residence at Schwerzstr. 2 in Stuttgart-Hohenheim. Since 1 April, the building can finally be rented out to students again.

The refurbishment included a complete modernisation of the interior and the refurnishing of all rooms. A new heat pump was also installed to ensure an efficient and sustainable energy supply. Another improvement concerns the size of the shared flats: Previously, 18 students lived together on one floor here, but smaller groups have now been formed to offer residents more privacy and comfort.

Interested students can only live together in shared flats here; there are no furnished individual flats. The average rent is between 295 and 325 euros, depending on the size of the room.

New hall of residence in Reutlingen completed

Housing

Affordable living and studying close to campus. This is made possible by 107 new dormitory places at Reutlingen University.

Reutlingen. The Studierendenwerk’s new building at Pestalozzistr. 67 is ready for occupancy just in time for the start of the 2023 summer semester – 107 students have been able to move into their new homes since March 1.

“The housing situation for students remains tight even after the end of the Corona Pandemic,” explains Oliver Schill, Managing Director of Studierendenwerk Tübingen-Hohenheim. “We are therefore pleased to be able to significantly expand the offer at the Reutlingen campus with 107 additional dormitory places.”

The newly constructed building houses 69 single apartments and another 36 places in 6-person shared apartments. Here, the rent is expected to be 345 euros for a shared room and 374 euros warm rent for a single apartment. On the first floor, two additional single apartments have been designed as barrier-free living options.

The single apartments are comparatively spacious at 16.5 m² and are equipped with a small kitchenette and their own sanitary facilities (shower, washbasin, WC). The shared living areas have approx. 15m² single rooms as well as a large communal kitchen and two sanitary cells. All rooms are furnished and equipped with media connections. The interiors are designed entirely in white to give the residents maximum freedom in the individual design of their home.

The 3115 square feet of usable space includes covered outdoor bicycle parking as well as 55 secure indoor parking spaces. All residents can also use the building’s own drying and laundry room.

In planning the building, the architects responsible, Hank+Hirth from Eningen unter Achalm, placed great emphasis on sustainability and exploited synergy effects. The four-story L-building is located in the immediate vicinity of the residential complex already completed in 2015/2016. This means that the new residents can share the common rooms in the neighboring buildings. The residential building is also designed as a KfW Efficiency House 40 and is connected to the district heating network of the city of Reutlingen. A high-performance photovoltaic system with a maximum output of around 28 KWp was installed on the roof.

The Studierendenwerk Tübingen-Hohenheim invested around 8.5 million euros in the new building. The state of Baden-Württemberg provided a subsidy of about 856,000 euros – about 8,000 euros per newly created dormitory place. This means that a total of 399 dormitory places are now available in Reutlingen.
