Carl-Schurz-Colleg, Student dormitory in Südstadt, Bonn, Germany
Carl-Schurz-Colleg is a student dormitory in Südstadt that provides rooms for residents along with shared study and living spaces. The building organizes these facilities across multiple floors to accommodate its student population.
The building was completed in 1954 as the second dormitory managed by Studentenwerk Bonn. An American donation provided essential funding, reflecting postwar ties between Germany and the United States.
The residence is named after Carl Schurz, a 19th-century German politician who became influential in America. This choice reflects the transatlantic connection that shaped the building's origins and purpose.
Students from the University of Bonn or Bonn-Rhein-Sieg University can apply for housing, with rent typically covering utilities and internet. It is best to inquire early about availability and application deadlines.
During its early years, the residence had the highest proportion of shared spaces among all student housing in Bonn. This design choice encouraged intense exchange between residents and set it apart from facilities built later.
