Living in Hamburg

Make Hamburg your home

Student city Hamburg

With more than 110,000 students at over 20 state and private universities, Hamburg also lives up to its reputation as a cosmopolitan city in the field of science.

Tips for finding a flat

Here are a few tips:

  • Please allow sufficient time (approx. 1-2 months) to find accommodation.
  • For the initial period, we recommend looking for a hotel/hostel and/or short-term accommodation for a few months, for example.
  • Please also use the FB group to look for accommodation and flatmates.

Important information:

  • As our university is not a member of the "Studentenwerk", you cannot apply for a place in their halls of residence.
  • Our university supports you in your search for accommodation, but does not provide any specific offers.

Registering your place of residence

Within 14 days of moving in, you must register with the relevant registration office in Hamburg. It is advisable to book an appointment online while you are still looking for accommodation, as appointments are often fully booked weeks in advance.
