Updates from our refectories
In unseren Mensen tut sich einiges! Ob nachhaltigere Essensangebote, mehr Transparenz beim CO₂-Fußabdruck oder neue Lernmöglichkeiten – wir haben Updates von verschiedenen Standorten für euch.
There’s a lot happening in our refectories! From more sustainable meal options and greater transparency on CO₂ footprints to new study spaces – we have updates from various locations for you.
Meat-Free Day at Rottenburg Refectory
Starting from 20th March, the refectory at the University of Applied Forest Sciences Rottenburg (HFR) will serve exclusively meat-free dishes every Thursday. This initiative responds to student requests for a greater range of vegetarian and vegan options on campus. The change will initially be introduced as a four-week trial. If it proves popular, we plan to make it permanent.
Extended Opening Hours at Wilhelmstraße Refectory
From the summer semester onwards, we are significantly extending the opening hours at the Wilhelmstraße refectory in Tübingen. The cafeteria in the building is already open until 6 pm, and a Saturday opening is also planned. This will ensure that students have better access to meals outside regular lecture hours. Just in time for the upcoming summer, we have also provided outdoor seating at this location for the first time.
CO₂ Values Now Also in Reutlingen Refectory
How climate-friendly is my lunch? From the upcoming summer semester, you’ll find it easier to answer this question at the Reutlingen refectory. The CO₂ values for each meal will now be displayed alongside the menu options. This will help our guests make informed and sustainable food choices.
New Study Spaces at Wilhelmstraße Refectory
Since early March, new study spaces have been available in the foyer of the Wilhelmstraße refectory. You can now work here outside meal times, meet with study groups, or prepare presentations. At the moment, there are no charging points for laptops and other devices, but these will be installed soon. A practical bonus: The cafeteria with snacks, coffee, and other refreshments is just a few metres away.
Cheapest Refectory Meal Stays Under €3
From 1st April, prices in our refectories will increase. However, we want to ensure that students can still afford a reasonably priced meal. That’s why one menu option will remain unaffected by the price rise: The “Dish of the Day” will still cost just €2.85 for students! This guarantees that there will continue to be an affordable meal option for under €3.
