We take care of the interests of students outside their academic everyday life. They can eat with us, make use of affordable accommodation, apply for BAföG, look after their children and get advice.
We see ourselves as a partner of students and universities alike and want to create the right framework for a successful academic path. In this way, we ensure equal opportunities for all students.
As an institution under public law, Studierendenwerk Bonn is a non-profit, public enterprise.
We look after students at these universities
In addition, we advise other universities regarding BAföG
The end of the First World War was marked by chaos and misery. The main building of the University of Bonn housed a war kitchen. In the summer of 1919, the first "Mensa academica" emerged from this. Self-help was the order of the day at the universities. Thus students founded the Studentenwohl e.V. association on September the 19th, 1919.
This led to the founding of Studierendenwerk Bonn - the oldest of its kind in Germany.
