The rules on infection prevention measures currently in place will expire at the end of 2 April 2022. From 3 April, only basic protective measures will be in place in certain areas.

This means that:

• The 3G rule (vaccinated, recovered, tested) will be abolished for our canteens and cafeterias as well as in-person counselling sessions effective Monday, 4 April 2022.
• Wearing an FFP2 respirator mask will no longer be mandatory either.
• Exception: FFP2 respirator masks will continue to be required at our COVID testing site!

Please note:

According to the Bayerische Infektionsschutzmaßnahmenverordnung (Bavarian regulation on infection prevention measures, BayIfSMV) no. 16, practising general safety and hygiene measures is still recommended. This includes practising social distancing, wearing a surgical face mask in indoor areas and, where applicable, voluntary hygiene measures (e.g. disinfection, reducing the number of visitors present at any one time).

The Studentenwerk Würzburg, too, still recommends wearing a face mask and practising social distancing.

More information in German about the rules that are currently in place in Bavaria can be found at www.​coronavirus.​bayern.​de.

Stay safe and take care of each other!

Due to high Corona numbers, the Bavarian state government is making use of the planned transitional regulation of the federal government and extending some of the currently valid restrictions until 2 April.
This applies especially to the 2G and 3G rules as well as the obligation to wear masks indoors.

Thus, the current measures in the Studentenwerk and the canteens and cafeterias will remain valid until 2 April 2022.

The 3G rule has come into effect. “3G” stands for the three German words “geimpft” (vaccinated),  “genesen” (recovered) and „getestet“ (tested).
This means that as of Friday, March 04, 2022, all guests eating in our canteens and cafeterias must either be vaccinated against COVID-19, have recovered from a COVID-19 infection, or have a valid negative test.
Proof will be checked at the entrance.

The 3G rule (vaccinated, recovered, tested) also applies to people who come to our cafeterias or canteens to get take-away food.
Fur­ther­more, wear­ing an FFP2 mask in all our build­ings is manda­tory!

This page provides up-to-date information about the coronavirus outbreak as well as changes coming into effect and measures being taken.

The rules regarding exams and the standard length of students’ degree programmes that were introduced for the 2020 summer semester in response to the significant challenges facing universities and students during the COVID-19 pandemic will also apply in the 2021/22 winter semester.

Additional measures to curb the spread of COVID-19 have been introduced with effect from 16 November 2021 in response to the rising number of cases and the capacity challenges facing hospitals in Bavaria.

The following rules will apply as of Tuesday, 16 November 2021:

• The 2G rule will be in force at our canteens and cafeterias. This means that you will only be allowed to eat at our canteens and cafeterias if you have been vaccinated for COVID-19 or have recovered from a COVID-19 infection and show proof of your vaccination or recovery status. A negative antigen-based rapid test or PCR test will no longer be enough to get in. This rule does not apply to people who come to our canteens or cafeterias to pick up take-away meals.
• In-person appointments with our counsellors will only be available to people who have either been vaccinated for COVID-19 or have recovered from a COVID-19 infection. A negative PCR test will no longer be enough.
• The rule that FFP2 respirator masks must be worn inside all Studentenwerk buildings will continue to apply. Surgical masks will not be enough.

On 12 October, the Bavarian state government decided that as of Friday, 15 October 2021, businesses in the hospitality sector will no longer be required to keep registers of their guests.

This means that guests eating at our canteens and cafeterias will no longer be required to record their names and contact details.

The 3G rule (“geimpft” (vaccinated), “genesen” (recovered) and “getestet” (tested)) and the requirement to wear a mask will continue to apply. We will conduct checks at our canteens and cafeterias to ensure that the rules are being followed.

We are happy to announce that as of 11 October 2021, information and counselling services will be available again in person.

To ensure the safety of our visitors and staff members, the 3G rule will apply for longer counselling sessions. This means that those sessions will only be available to people who have either been vaccinated for COVID-19, have recovered from a COVID-19 infection or have recently tested negative for COVID-19. In addition, the counselling sessions will take place in rooms that are equipped with safety partitions and sanitiser dispensers. Masks will have to be worn everywhere inside the building.

Office hours and contacts

On Tuesday, 27 April 2020, a new COVID testing site opened in the cafeteria at the Studentenhaus Würzburg. The facility is wheelchair accessible and is open for all citizens.

From Monday, 18.01.2021, FFP2 masks will be mandatory for local transport and retail throughout Bavaria. According to official guidelines, this also affects our canteens!

We look forward to welcoming you soon as a tenant in one of our student residences. As you will be aware, our daily lives are being affected by the coronavirus pandemic. This letter provides you with important information. Please read it carefully and follow the rules listed below in order to protect yourself and others.

Exceptional rules expire on 30.09.2020 in Bamberg.

Since many students had the problem that their semester ticket public transport passes had expired and it was not possible for them to renew them (i.e. have the new expiry date printed on them), we had agreed on special arrangements with the public transport providers in the region.

The goodwill arrangements in Würzburg and Schweinfurt have already expired in June / July.
Now the exceptional rules in Bamberg also expires on 30.09.2020.

That means: the normal rules for the semester ticket apply again at all locations. The only document that will be accepted as a ticket on public transport is your renewed student ID card.

The bridging aid for students who are demonstrably in a financial or economic emergency situation owing to the corona pandemic will be extended. Affected students can also apply for the non-repayable grant of the bridging aid in September.

The official press release by the BMBF on the extension of the bridging aid can be found here (Press release only in german)

The Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) is helping students who are demonstrably in a financial or economic emergency situation owing to the corona pandemic with allowances totalling 100 million euros.
