2 Your hall of residence

2.1 Map, public transport connection, shopping facilities


The hall of residence “Studentenstadt Freimann” in Munich Freimann is well connected to Munich’s
public transportation service as it lies right next to the subway station Studentenstadt (U6).
Moreover, several buses with different destinations start here. By subway it takes only six minutes to
get to the “Münchner Freiheit” with its numerous shops and bars, and to university it takes only three
minutes longer. It doesn’t take long to get to the Technical University in Garching as well as to the
highway.
As you live quite close to the centre, you have several shopping possibilities at reach and on your
way home.

2.3 Particular features of your residence


With its 2.500 habitants, the residence “Studentenstadt” is the biggest student residence in Germany
and consists of different living areas: “Altstadt” (Old Town) and “Neustadt” (New Town). You are
housed in the Old Town which has been constructed between 1961 and 1968.
Free time and sports: In the Old Town as well as in the New Town, houses are situated quite
idyllically, surrounded by green countryside that invites to spend summertime outside – for example,
on the Isar shores or at the Feringa Lake, in the English Garden, etc. Moreover, it is possible to
benefit from sports club, tennis and football fields as well as a gym free of charge.
Culture and social life: There are several common rooms (with TV) in the residence, party rooms, a
library and copying machines. Moreover, student self-administration in Freimann is quite active:
there are small food shops, self-administrated bars and cafés, culture and sports events. Not to
forget: there is the highest beer garden in Munich (Hanns-Seidel-Haus) and the annual student
festival of music and theatre (StuStaCulum). These facilities can be used by habitants of the
Studentenstadt and their visitors.
Children welcome: at the day-nursery Christoph-Probst-Straße 10. About 25 children aged
between 0 and 3 years can be taken care of.

2.4 Eco-friendly pigeon defense


During the last decades, many pigeons have made themselves at home on the Studentenstadt
grounds, spreading diseases also among human beings, their faeces destroying the fabric of the
buildings. The Munich Student Union has found an effective way to regain control of the situation
without doing damage to the birds: In cooperation with the veterinary department of the city of
Munich and the society for the prevention of cruelty to animals, a dovecot has been installed on the
roof of the house in Christoph Probst Str. 8 (New Town). In this dovecot, pigeons are provided with
healthy feed. They can brood there, thus the pigeon population will be influenced appropriate to their
species. This method has been successfully proved in Augsburg, f. ex, and can only be successful if
other feeding is stopped.
Please support our animal-friendly and sustainable project. Do not feed pigeons on the
grounds.

2.5 Keys, electric door bells, post boxes


Your keys
When you move in, you receive four keys:
▪ 2 house/ room keys:
 Laundry room
 House 1, 4, 14: entrance door, corridor/ appartment door, room and garbage house
 All other houses: entrance door and room
 1 post box key
 key to a shelf of your own in your common kitchen (as far as available)

Zertifiziert nach DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 page 9 / 20


Student accommodation

Nameplates on doorbells and post boxes

House 1, 4, 8: Enter the room number via the key pad. You can find a list with the habitants’ names
next to the bells. There is an intercom which has also a door opening function.

The lists are attached and brought up-to-date by the Student Union.

Please do not write anything on doorbells and post boxes.

2.6 Technical equipment


2.6.1 Television and radio reception
Television and radio programs can be received by means of a Kessler satellite system. An overview
of the currently available channels is included in the appendices. Please note that it is not allowed to
install dish antennas (only if the tenant can prove that he or she has no possibility to watch pro-
grammes in his or her mother language).

2.6.2 Telephone connection


Most appartments have the makings of a telephone/DSL-connection. These connections can be ac-
tivated for use with either an analogue or ISDN telephone by a service provider of your choice. You
might need an adaptor, please ask the Technical support about it if you have any doubts.

2.6.3 Internet
The houses have their own broadband (LAN), with access to the Internet via the Münchner Hoch-
schulnetz (MHN) (Munich Universities’ Network). The computer settings required for establishing in-
ternet connection are outlined in a separate information sheet that you will have received upon mov-
ing in.
Costs
LAN usage and administrative costs are included in the charges for running costs paid by each and
every resident of the hall, and do not depend on usage. No additional charges are currently incurred
for using the Internet..
Hard- and software for the internet:
To establish internet connection, you will require a PC/laptop with a network interface card and a
cable connecting this to the connection socket (patch cable). Summarised instructions for configura-
tion of your PC can be obtained from your administrative office (see 1.1)
Important:
Right connection socket (‘T’): Telephone
Left connection socket (‘D’): Internet

Zertifiziert nach DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 page 10 / 20


Student accommodation

This double connection socket must under no circumstances be opened, removed or other-
wise tampered with!

Information on telephone numbers in Germany


In Germany, you have to dial an area code before you dial the actual phone number. Each area
code corresponds to a local exchange network, which is 089 in Munich. If you make phonecalls to
fixed line numbers belonging to the same local exchange network you do not have to dial the area
code.
The country code for Germany is 0049 (or +49). Calling from abroad, you have to dial the country
code and leave out “0” when you dial the area code. For example: +49 (or 0049), then 89 (for
Munich), then the phone number.

2.6.4 Broadcaster license fees


In Germany, all radio and television reception devices require a license. This applies to all devices
capable of receiving or transmitting radio and television programs (e.g. internet-PCs, televisions, ra-
dios and smartphones).
A basic, all-inclusive fee is charged to every flat. The occupant of the flat, i.e. the adult residing here,
is liable for this fee. As a rule, every resident of a flat and all persons registered to this address are
considered the legal occupants and are thus jointly liable for the fee. In the case of a shared flat, this
means that one of the residents is required to submit payment to the ARD ZDF Deutschlandradio
Beitragsservice (ARD ZDF German Broadcasting Fee Service) and his flatmates are obliged to pay
the relevant contributions to the paying resident.
It is not possible within rental law, that the landlord (Studentenwerk) pays the licence fee for the stu-
dents.
People who have low financial means (including BAföG recipients) can apply for an exemp-
tion from these fees and cannot be held liable for them.
For more detailed information, please consult the ARD ZDF German Broadcasting Fee Service web-
site at www.rundfunkbeitrag.de.

2.7 Common kitchens


Due to security reasons, ovens in the common kitchens of some houses are fitted with a time switch.
You can activate the time switch by button (house 4, house 8) or a rotary-type knob (house 4,
apartments).
In many kitchens, habitants have their own shelves which can be locked with key.

2.8 Washing machines and drying room


There are several laundry and drying rooms in the Studentenstadt residence (see appendix).
Partly, the machines are run by an extern enterprise, partly the student self-administration cares
about their maintenance. You pay with coins or coupons (depending on the house). In most cases
you can open and lock washing and drying rooms with your room key.

Zertifiziert nach DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 page 11 / 20


Student accommodation

Please notice: usage of washing machines and drying rooms is at your own risk. We do not
take over any liability in case any laundry gets lost!

2.9 Reporting damage and repairs


2.9.1 Damage in your room
If you notice any damage in your room during the time of your tenancy, please report this as soon as
possible to the caretaker. Do this by filling out a damage report form (‘Schadensmeldung’). Damage
report forms and the post box in which these are to be deposited can be found in the entrance area
next to house administration (Christoph-Probst-Straße 10).

2.9.2 Other damages and incidents


If you witness special incidents (e.g. fire, burglary, vandalism) first make sure to get yourself to safe-
ty. Then immediately call the police, fire brigade or an ambulance depending on the incident. In addi-
tion please inform the administration office of your hall of residence or the caretaker. In case you no-
tice other strange occurrences happening or you become aware of damages other than in 2.9.1
please also inform the administration office/the caretaker as soon as possible.

2.10 Parking
Parking possibilities are on the parking deck as well as in the subterranean garage and on the
streets. Bikes can be stored in bicycle stands, and some houses have their own bicycle storages.
If you are interested in renting one of the parking spaces, please contact the administration office dir-
ectly. If not all available spaces are required by students, those remaining may be available for rent
by other interested parties. Please contact the administration office directly for details of the condi-
tions.

3 Rules for living in shared accommodation

3.1 Registration with the state authorities


You are required to register your new address with the state authorities (“Einwohnermeldeamt”). If
possible, you should do this within a week after moving into the hall of residence. You can register at
any ‘Landeshauptstadt München’ (city of Munich) registration office. These offices are known as
‘Bürgerbüros’.
A list with addresses and opening hours of the registration offices and forms ready to download can
be found in the internet: http://www.muenchen.de/Rathaus/kvr/service/37628/index.html

3.2 Submission of matriculation certificate


Living in a hall of residence of the Munich Student Union is linked to the status of student. You have
to prove your status of student once per semester by showing your matriculation certificate
(Immatrikulationsbescheinigung, IB).
Submission IB/summer semester: by the 1st of May at the latest

Zertifiziert nach DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 page 12 / 20


Student accommodation

Submission IB/winter semester: by the 1st of November at the latest


Attention! If your matriculation certificate is not submitted on time to our administration
office, we are obliged to give you notice to quit the residence.

3.3 House rules


If many people live together in a relatively narrow space, certain rules should be respected. This
means also to pay regard to your neighbours in the buildings around you. Please pay attention to
the house rules which are part of your lease. A copy of the rules themselves was handed out to you
with your rental contract.

3.3.1 Mounting of personal items


Please be sure to consult the care-taker before hanging anything up (e.g. pictures or shelves). Be-
fore drilling into the walls it is vital to ascertain whether there are any unseen water pipes or electri-
city cables.

3.3.2 Security and fire safety


Please keep house and apartment doors shut, as well as those to the laundry room. We also highly
recommend you to keep the window in the basement closed at night and during your absence.
Corridors, hallways and stairs serve as escape routes. These must be kept completely clear at all
times and under no circumstances should they become blocked by objects such as bicycles, boxes,
crates, chairs, bottles, rubbish or shoes etc. For reasons of fire safety, nothing may be stuck to the
walls in the hallways or stairwells, or on the doors of the houses, flats or cellars.
Barbecuing is strictly forbidden at the houses (on roof terraces or escape balconies, for example), as
it represents a significant fire hazard. Consequently, it is not allowed to make (open) fires
(camp fire) anywhere on the grounds. You may, however, use the barbecue which has been
set up in the specially designated area (see section 3.7 ‘Barbecues’, below).

3.3.3 Noise
In principle, the house rules apply to the entire hall of residence. This means that you have to avoid
disturbance of peace in the residence, in the house and in the rooms. In particular you should avoid
doing any renovation work or other loud activities between 12 and 14 pm as well as between 18 pm
and 8 am. On Sun- and holidays, this kind of works and activities is never permissible. Especially
between 22 pm and 7 am, you should keep quiet.
Despite these regulations, complaints from neighbours living in the surrounding buildings are unfor-
tunately frequent and mainly purport to unacceptable noise levels during the night.
We thus strongly urge you to please observe the period of quiet time between the hours of 22
pm and 07 am.
Please respect above all the following rules:
▪ Keep the windows closed when you gather in the common rooms.
▪ Keep the volume of the music down to an appropriate level
▪ Do not talk loudly in the yard.

Zertifiziert nach DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 page 13 / 20


Student accommodation

Apart from rest periods which ought to be respected, we would like to appeal to your consideration
for your neighbours who are mainly working and need to sleep at night. If you make noise and party
until morning, this will probably damage good neighbourly relations and, generally, deteriorate the
acceptance of student residences among the population. .
3.3.4 Barbecues
It is allowed to have barbecues on the open spaces in the Old Town Area of the Studentenstadt in
accordance with local regulations until 22 pm.
Afterwards, please dispose of ashes and coal using the specially marked bins.

3.3.5 Cleaning of the hall of residence and common spaces


Some common areas such as stairwells, laundry room, hallways are cleaned by our housekeeping
staff (except in house 14).
In the common kitchens, all habitants themselves (of a flatshare or small house) should feel
responsible for cleaning and tidiness. And of course, it is your own responsibility to keep your room
clean.
Kitchen
The kitchen is a central place in a flatshare, a place in which you meet, chat, prepare meals
together. At the same time, conflicts are frequent if roommates have different concepts of tidiness
and hygiene.

Tips for a better social climate

▪ A cleaning rota can help. For example, everyone in turn is responsible for keeping the kitchen
clean (f. ex. for a week). You should also define which activities form part of “room service”.
▪ Tidy up after cooking/eating. Do not leave any food standing around in the kitchen, or leftovers on
the floor.
▪ Do not leave your dishes, glasses etc unwashed for a longer time.
▪ Remove bits of food from the hotplate as soon as you have finished cooking. If you forget to do
so, they will “burn in”.
▪ It is your responsibility to dispose of your waste. Do this in time, before the waste bin is too full
and emptying it changes into a heroic challenge.
▪ You should regularly clean the fridge, freezer and stove. Remove food that has gone bad.
▪ The kitchen floor should be cleaned regularly, at least once a week.
▪ You should clean windows (including their frames) about every three months.
It is your responsibility to keep the kitchen clean as you are also the one who is using it. If you do not
fulfill this task, we are obliged to hire a cleansing firm to do so, and incurring costs will be payable by
the flatshare’s members. So you can contribute to reduce running costs by contributing to your
apartment’s hygiene.

E-Mail: [email protected] Email: [email protected]

Our student halls of residence run both student self-administration and tutor programs. The main job
of the house representative is to maintain contact with the student union. He or she should also stay
in regular contact with the administrative office, as well as acting as a voice for all the residents. The
tutors' job is to promote social contact and communal living within the hall of residence. They do this
by organising group activities, where they can draw upon the support of the Munich Student Union
Culture Bureau.
Residents elect a house speaker and tutors themselves. They also agree up a statute governing the
functions and activities of the student self-administration.

3.5 Announcing parties


Student self-administration the tutors organise parties and other events to promote community life in
your hall of residence. And of course, also the residents can use the common rooms for private
parties.
Due to the noise that often comes with such gatherings, and possible inconvenience to the neigh-
bours that this may cause, parties may only be held on weekends (meaning only on Friday or Sat-
urday), and must confirm to certain limitations.
You have to obtain the Munich Student Union’s agreement (through the student self-administration)
in advance. Please send a written application to the technical director of your hall of residence
(forms for this application are available from the student self-administration), and do this on time!
Generally, the house rules, which are a component of your rental contract, also apply to parties. It is
stated that the time between 22pm and 07 am is to be kept quiet. Safety regulations also require that
the number of persons present at a party be limited to the maximum number allowed in the particular
room(s).
Moreover, the self-administration/ the organizer is obliged to take care of the cleaning of the
common rooms as well as all the spaces that might be affected (stairs, outdoor areas etc).
Individual agreements made with the self-administrations of singular residences remain valid so far.

4 Saving resources
The Munich Student Union strives towards environmentally friendly conduct in all areas of its work.
We want to do our bit towards protecting our natural resources that our very lives depend upon. To
do this, we need your help! Everyone can save water and electricity; all it requires is a bit of thought
and attention. Proper separation and disposal of waste doesn’t only serve to help the environment; it
also helps to keep costs down. Last but not least, proper heating and airing also saves energy.
In the following sections, we provide you with a few tips aimed at helping you to conserve energy
and resources. In the appendices section you will find a leaflet with a summary of these tips, which
you can keep to refresh your memory.

4.1 Waste disposal


Rubbish removal and disposal comes at a considerable cost, which you pay for as part of your oper-
ating costs. You can contribute to keep these costs down – whilst simultaneously helping the envir-
onment – by properly separating and disposing of your waste. Please read the following information
from the City of Munich carefully:
Dispose of your waste at the right place:
Paper/cardboard: Paper containers, outer area of the Old Town
General (non recyclable) waste: Waste containers, outer area of the Old Town
Glass: waste point (“Wertstoffinsel”) Grasmeierstr./Ecke Willi-Graf-Str.
Synthetic materials: waste point Grasmeierstr./Ecke Willi-Graf-Str.
Tin plate: waste point Grasmeierstr./Ecke Willi-Graf-Str.
House 1, 4, 17, 18 and 19 have their own garbage houses.

Nearest recycling center (at a distance of about 2 km):

4.2 Water
Water is one of our most important resources. Although this may not be immediately apparent to us
in Germany, water, particularly drinking water, is not available in unlimited amounts. It is thus import-
ant that we use water wisely, and we would ask you to do so wherever possible. The less water that
is used, the easier it is to re-purify the waste water and the less water has to be removed from the
environment in the first place. But not only this: Saving water also saves money.
Here are a few tips to help reduce water-usage:

Zertifiziert nach DIN EN ISO 9001:2015 page 16 / 20


Student accommodation

 Turn the shower off whilst shampooing your hair and washing yourself. Only turn it on again
when you need to rinse.
 When washing the dishes by hand, never wash them under a constantly running tap; wash
them instead in a basin filled with hot water.
 Use a beaker when cleaning your teeth, rather than letting unused water run down the plug
hole for minutes on end.
 Get dripping taps repaired straight away: A tap that drips once every two seconds drips
around 800 litres in a year!
 If the tank of the toilet has a leak, be sure to get it repaired and please make use of the short-
flush option.
By following these guidelines you can do your part to help save water; not to mention their import-
ance in keeping overhead costs down for the benefit of all residents.

In order to be able to ensure excellent drinking water quality and reduce the risk of a
dangerous build-up of Legionella bacteria, we need your help:
 Twice a week, let all hot water taps and shower heads run until the water reaches 60°C.
 Before setting the desired water temperature for showering, run hot water through the shower
head – be careful of scalding!

4.3 Electricity
Everyone can save electricity. It can be as easy as making sure that the light in the hall, kitchen or
bathroom be not turned on all night; or remembering to turn off the festive Christmas lights at the
window during the day or when everyone is asleep.
It also helps to put the PC in its energy-saving mode when you take a longer break. Check the in -
struction manual to see how this works. Even doing without a screen saver helps to save power,
which concomitantly increases the length of time for which the battery runs.
A general rule that applies to any electronic devices: Turn them off if you don’t use them. This also
refers to peripheral appliances such as monitors, printers or scanners. All devices in standby mode –
such as TV, or stereo – are silently consuming energy. Consider whether or not you really need this
function.
