In the current allocation phase for the winter semester 2024/2025, the demand for places in our halls of residence is again very high and we are currently able to offer only very few free places in the halls of residence. Due to cancellations of tenancy agreements or room reservations, places in our student residences occasionally become available at short notice for the move-in months of October, November and December 2024. All applications on the waiting list will be considered in the order of receipt of applications the next time rooms become available.

We kindly ask you to look for accomodation on the local housing market in the city and for other alternatives in the surrounding areas, where you could stay for the start of the semester at least. You can find useful information in our Tips for finding accommodation.

Until 18.10.2024 you can reach us from Mon-Fri between 9 and 11 a.m. via our hotline: +49 341 96 59 880 or always by email to wohnen@studentenwerk-leipzig.de. Please refrain from enquiring about places on the waiting list or the availability of rooms.

Living in the halls of residence

Our student halls of residence offer both single apartments and shared flats. The predominant form of accommodation is shared flats for two students in single rooms with a shared kitchen and bathroom, but larger shared flats are also available.

Development of operating costs

In 2022, 2023 and 2024, after a long period of stability (since 2014), rents were adjusted, in particular due to drastic increases in electricity and heating costs.

We try to keep our rents as low as possible despite these ongoing cost increases. As we have to cover the costs of running the student halls of residence and the cost increases cannot be fully absorbed by savings, we are forced to regularly review our rents and adjust them if necessary.

Amenities

Rooms are furnished with a bed, desk/table, chair, wardrobe (sometimes with upper storage) and shelving. Each type of accommodation includes a furnished kitchen and sanitary facilities. Unfurnished rooms can also be rented at Mainzer Straße 2a. In addition to internet access (600 GB/Month), in each of the rooms there are connection points for a telephone and for cable/satellite television. Residents are required to pay licence/GEZ fees themselves.

In addition, you almost always have access to:

  • washing machine rooms
  • fitness and other sports rooms
  • baking kitchens
  • bicycle storage rooms
  • music practice rooms
  • parking spaces
  • student clubs

If you have special needs concerning your accommodation, you can get more information on housing with child(ren) or on studying and housing with a disability. You can also make an appointment with our social counsellors.
