Studentenwerk Schleswig-Holstein

Studentenwerk Schleswig-Holstein is a student support organization that operates dining facilities, cafeterias, and residential housing across multiple university locations. The institution provides comprehensive services with multiple dining halls and housing options at six sites throughout northern Germany.

The organization developed to meet the comprehensive needs of students across northern Germany and grew into a major university service provider. A key milestone came in 1994 when Hochschulservice & Seeburg GmbH was established to handle cleaning and laundry services for university facilities.

The organization runs programs like Housing for Help, where students receive accommodation in exchange for spending time assisting local residents each month. This approach reflects a community-focused philosophy that extends beyond simply providing housing.

The main office is located in the upper section of the Mensa I building at Westring 385 in Kiel, making it accessible from the main campus area. Services including dining and housing information are spread across different locations, so visitors may need to contact ahead for specific details.

The organization operates twelve student residences in Kiel alone, providing almost 2,000 housing spaces with varying standards and amenities across the city. These residences are positioned near academic institutions and offer diverse accommodation types to suit different student preferences.
