Studentenwerk München, Student services center in Munich, Germany.
Studentenwerk München is the public-law student service organization for 15 universities and roughly 135,000 students in Munich and Upper Bavaria, with additional sites in Martinsried, Garching, Benediktbeuern, Freising, Rosenheim, Burghausen and Ottobrunn. It is the second-largest German student service organization by student numbers and provides more student housing than any other in Germany. Its largest residences are in the Studentenstadt Freimann and the Studentenviertel Oberwiesenfeld near the Olympiapark.
Founded in 1920, this student service network emerged in Germany after World War I to support university students. It became part of a nationwide system of similar organizations serving higher education institutions.
The student service organization helps international students find their place within Munich's academic community. Social events and exchange programs create connections between students from different backgrounds.
Residential units are spread across Munich, Freising, and Rosenheim with varying rental costs. Students should apply well in advance, as waiting times can extend across multiple semesters.
The Studentenwerk's largest halls of residence are in Studentenstadt Freimann ("StuSta") and in the Studentenviertel Oberwiesenfeld beside the Olympiapark. Studentenstadt was the first place in Germany where Spaceboxes were set up; they are no longer rented out.
