Welcome to Stuttgart
Though exciting, moving to a foreign country can also be challenging at times. A different language and cultural norms can make communication difficult, especially in
basic matters such as arranging accommodation, settling questions regarding your
residence permit, your classes, insurance, bank transactions, public transportation,
and so forth. We are here to help you with such issues, as well as with anything else
connected to living in Stuttgart. Please consult this Welcome Guide and feel free to
contact us if you have any further questions.
Some information in this booklet is only applicable to students who intend to earn their
degree at the University of Stuttgart (including TestDaF course participants), while
other information only applies to visiting exchange and program students, who only
plan on staying several months (ERASMUS, partnership programs with universites
from overseas). Helpful tips or specific information only applicable to one group is
highlighted in the margins in the following way:
Program Students
Degree Students
Important information/Tip
We wish you a pleasant and rewarding stay in Stuttgart!

Loss or theft of your passport
If your passport has been lost or stolen, you must report to the police. You will receive certification of loss/theft, which you must take to the Foreign Registration Office
(Ausländerbehörde). The Foreign Registration Office will issue a temporary residence
permit (Fiktionsbescheinigung). You must also apply for a new passport at an embassy
or consular office of your home country. Addresses of foreign embassies/consulates in
Germany can be found at: www.auswaertiges-amt.de (Länder- und Reiseinformation).
Loss or theft of your student ID card
If you lose your student ID card you have to cancel it as soon as possible at the Admissons Office. To cancel it and get a new one you will be charged EUR 10 and you will
need to supply a new passport picture.
In the case of trouble, please contact the IZ immediately!
Welcome Guide 11
Getting started in Stuttgart
The first step is always the most difficult. This is also true when you come to Stuttgart.
You have to deal with a lot of formalities, that is why any time you have questions, International Affairs is here to help you. Most formalities require specific documents.
We put the following steps into a certain order to facilitate the process for you. If you
keep to the order of our checklist, you can save yourself a lot of time.
The following brochures are available at both the departmental student unions (Fachschaften), the stuvus office and the Central Study Counselling Office.
• stuvus Calendar, issued by the student representation stuvus as a guide through
the university
• Wegweiser für StudienanfängerInnen, a guide for new students published by
the Zentrale Studienberatung (Central Study Counselling Office) (available only
in the winter semester)
stuvus office: Pfaffenwaldring 57, 70550 Stuttgart
Central Study Counselling (ZSB): Geschwister-Scholl-Str. 24 c, 70174 Stuttgart
Checklist
In order to save yourself time, money, and frustration, it is very important you take the
following steps in the order given below.
1 Accommodation/deposit
www.ia.uni-stuttgart.de/
dokumente/checklist.en.html
Student Housing
Several formalities must be complied upon being assigned a spot in student housing:
• Before moving in, you must pay a deposit to the Studentenwerk. Normally this is
EUR 400 plus EUR 200 of your first month’s rent. Students who have not transferred the deposit from their home country can deposit the cash amount in to the
Studentenwerk account at any Stuttgart bank. Ask for a transfer slip (Überweisungsformular) at the bank for this purpose.
12 Welcome Guide
Please do not forget to include the following information on the transfer slip:
• The word “Kaution” (deposit)
• Your name
• Your tenant number (Mieternummer), found on the letter from the Studentenwerk
(look for hirer code)
• The month that you plan to move in MM/YY form
Please use the following information:
Recipient (Begünstigter): Studentenwerk Stuttgart
Account number (Kontonummer): 1111091
Bank: BW Bank
Bank Code (Bankleitzahl): 600 501 01
A BW Bank office is located near the library on the Vaihingen campus at Pfaffenwaldring 57 between the S-Bahn station Universität (exit Universitätszentrum) and the student housing facilities. Last minute deposits can be made here.
Opening hours of the BW Bank Vaihingen: Mon, Tues, Fri 8.30 a.m.–1.00 p.m. and
2.00–4.00 p.m., Wed until 1.00 p.m., Thurs until 5.30 p.m.
Keep the receipt of the deposit payment in a safe place. You will need to show this
receipt in order to receive your room key when moving in and the deposit upon moving
out, assuming the room has been left in an orderly manner.
If you authorise someone else to pick up your room key, the proof of deposit must still
be presented at the time of pick-up (a faxed copy will do if the original is not available).
The representative will also need either an authorisation letter from you or a copy of
your reservation letter from the Studentenwerk as proof of authorisation.
• Go to the building manager (Hausmeister) to receive your room keys. Bring the
signed tenancy agreement along which you have received by mail. You will also
need the receipt of the deposit payment. The Hausmeister will ask you to fill in and
sign a SEPA direct debit authorization (SEPA-Lastschrift) so that the monthly rent
can be debited automatically from your bank account. You will also need to hand
in a copy of your passport, your residence permit (as soon as you have it), and a
passport photo.
Visiting program students have the opportunity to purchase bed linen and coverlets
from the Hausmeister of the respective student dormitory for EUR 45. This payment is
withdrawn automatically along with the first rent payment.
Welcome Guide 13
Please check if the date you are planning to move out coincides with the one in
your tenancy agreement. If it is incorrect, please contact Student Services (Studentenwerk Stuttgart, see below) or if you are a visiting program student ot the Office
of International Affairs.
Please note:
• In all student dormitories you can only move into your room from Monday to
Friday during the office hours of the building manager (Hausmeister). Regular
office hours of the building managers (Hausmeister) are listed on page 25.
• On the first working day of each month, the office of the Hausmeister in
Vaihingen is usually open from 8.00 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. (except for Pfaffenhof II).
Degree students and visiting program students who have not been assigned a dorm
room by the IZ may apply (in writing or in person) at Student Services (Studentenwerk)
for a room in student dorm. However, you have to anticipate a waiting period of approx.
six months.
Studentenwerk Stuttgart
Rosenbergstr. 18, 70174 Stuttgart, Tel. 0711 957 44 10 or 0711 957 44 11
e-mail: [email protected], www.studentenwerk-stuttgart.de
Office hours: Mon–Thurs 9.00 a.m.–3.30 p.m., Fri 9.00 a.m.–12.00 p.m.

dormitories are located in the city centre and on the Vaihingen campus. Addresses
and directions can be found on page 25.
Private accommodation
If you could not get a room in the student dormitories and need to look for private
accommodation you can check our information on page 27 or our homepage:
www.ia.uni-stuttgart.de/directto/private
14 Welcome Guide
2 Opening a bank account
To participate in the cash-free transfer of money in order to pay your rent, health insurance, tuition and similar transactions, you need a personal bank account (Girokonto).
For students up to 30 years of age, these accounts are usually free of charge at any
bank. Students from China should open their bank account at Deutsche Bank.
Upon opening an account, you can order a bank card with which you can withdraw
cash without charge 24 hours a day from any of your bank’s ATM locations. After
opening an account, you will need to fill out the direct debit authorisation (Einzugs
ermächtigung) for the Hausmeister of your dormitory (see page 13).
A branch of the BW Bank is located on the Vaihingen Campus (Pfaffenwaldring 57).
Opening hours: Mon–Fri 8.30 a.m.–1.00 p.m., Mon, Tue, Fri 2.00 a.m.–4.00 p.m.,
Thurs 2.00 p.m.–5.30 p.m.
To open a bank account, you will need:
• Your passport and residence permit (Aufenthaltserlaubnis). It may be possible to
bring the residence permit later
• Letter of admission (Zulassungsbescheid) from the University of Stuttgart (in
order to get a free student account)
• Your address in Germany
Please note:
You also need to pay the semester contribution of total EUR 149,45, which includes
an administration fee and a contribution to the student services and the student
union (EUR 89,45 for program students from partner universities which a mutual
tuition waiver has been stipulated with). Remember to bring along a bank statement
proving that you have transferred the fee from your bank’s ATM when you enrol at
the university.
Welcome Guide 15
3 Health insurance
In order to enrol at a German university, students under 30 years of age are required
by law to show a proof of medical insurance. The same applies for all students who
require a residence permit. This document can be obtained at any public health insurance company office in Stuttgart.
Health insurance for citizens from non-EU countries
Non-EU students under 30 have to purchase a student health insurance at a local
health insurance company. This insurance usually costs about EUR 79 per month and
covers most medical and dental costs. An advantage of this insurance is that the cost
of treatment is carried out directly between the doctor and the insurance company. We
strongly recommend students over 30 years of age to take out private health insurance. Further information can be obtained in the IZ. Please contact Ms. Marion Hanssen, Room 1.033, Tel. 0711 685‑68552, e-mail: [email protected].
Please note:
You can only be covered by student health insurance while enrolled at the university
(at the earliest from October 1 or April 1 depending on the semester).
Health insurance for EU citizens
As an EU citizen a European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) from your insurance company in your home country is required. Take this card to an official health insurance
company in Germany (such as DAK, AOK etc.) and have them issue you a proof of
health insurance (Krankenversicherungsnachweis), which is required for enrolling at
the university. You will receive necessary medical treatment at a doctor, dentist or in
hospital with your EHIC. For prescriptions, you will have to pay a fee of EUR 5 to 10.
If you plan to travel outside Germany it is recommended that you take out a travel
health insurance for a fee of about EUR 12 (available at most banks).

Welcome Guide 21
For information about how to get an international student ID please see page 43.
If you lose your student ID card you have to cancel it as soon as possible at the
Admissons Office for Foreign Citizens and EU Citizens. To cancel it and get a new one
you will be charged EUR 10. Also provide a new passport picture.
6 Semester and monthly passes for public transportation
Stuttgart has a very good public transportation system. You can travel by train
(S -Bahn), subway (U-Bahn), or bus. There are several tariff zones (Tarifzonen) and
each zone travelled through requires a fee. To get a semester or monthly pass (Verbundpass – in most cases is the cheapest travel option) you can get an order form for
a travel card for public transportation (Verbundpass) at the IZ or in one of the sales
offices of the SSB (Stuttgarter Straßenbahnen) or VVS (Verkehrsverbund Stuttgart).
Fill in the order form, have it stamped at the IZ and hand it in at one of the sales offices
together with a passport photo and a study certificate, along with your student ID card.
We recommed that you visit one of the sales offices at the Arnulf-Klett-Passage
under the main train station, in Stadtmitte, or at Charlottenplatz. These three sales
offices issue a Verbundpass immediately, whereas the others issue only a temporary
Verbundpass, followed by a regular one by mail approximately three weeks later.
For the Verbundpass to be valid, you need to buy a monthly or a semester ticket at any
VVS/SSB sales office.
Your student ID card (Studienausweis) has a VVS symbol on the back which validates
it for public transportation. You can use your Studienausweis to travel on all buses,
trains (S-Bahnen) and subway (U-Bahnen) in the Stuttgart region from Mon–Fri after
6.00 p.m. and all day on weekends and holidays.
There are two additional offers for students:
• Monthly tickets with Verbundpass are valid for a one month period starting any
time. The Verbundpass will only be valid for the zones that you specify. If you
need a monthly ticket for September or March because of participation in the
intensive German course for program students, you can get a provisional student
identity card at the IZ.
• The StudiTicket with Verbundpass
If you pay EUR 195,60 you can use the whole VVS transportation network
without time limits and during the entire semester (Oct. 1 to March 31 or
22 Welcome Guide
April 1 to Sept. 30). The StudiTicket contains a Verbundpass (including a
passport photo) and a stamp, the so-called Wertmarke. It is possible to buy
the StudiTicket online. For further information and online puchase check:
www.vvs.de/studiticketonlinekaufen
Night buses operate on weekends. Most depart from Schlossplatz at 1.20 a.m.,
2.00 a.m., 2.30 a.m., 3.10 a.m. and 3.40 a.m. in various directions.
The S-Bahn operates once an hour in the nights between Friday to Saturday and Saturday to Sunday. For a detailed schedule visit: www.nachtaktiv.net/info.html
Free printed schedules for specific connections are available at VVS/SSB sales offices, or you can buy a schedule covering the whole region for approx. EUR 3,00.
7 Personal liability insurance
(Haftpflichtversicherung)
Unlike health insurance, personal liability insurance is not compulsory in Germany,
though we strongly recommend its purchase. This insurance covers damage caused
by you or your family to foreign persons or objects (e. g. a rented apartment, laboratories, or your institute), sometimes including even the loss of keys. The price ranges
from EUR 30 to EUR 80 per year, depending on your family status. For application
forms and further information, please contact your student advisor at International Affairs.

Organisation of studies
Semester break
(Vorlesungsfreie Zeit)
The time between lecture periods is called vorlesungsfreie Zeit but it should not be considered as holiday period. Examinations, compact courses, and excursions often take
place during this period. Many offices are closed or have shorter office hours. Between
Christmas Eve (Dezember 24) and Epiphany (January 6), there are no lectures. During
the summer semester, there is usually a one week break after Whitsun (in June).
30 Welcome Guide
Holidays
If you want to travel or participate in an internship during the vorlesungsfreie Zeit, you
should make sure you know when your exams or deadlines are before planning your
trips. You can find this information in notices at the department, at the dean’s office,
the Fachschaftsbüro or the examination office (Prüfungsamt).
Examinations

Everyday information
Medical care/psychological counselling
Doctors, dentists, and hospitals can be found in the yellow pages of the telephone
book or online at: www.arztsuche-bw.de. This website also gives you information on
doctors who speak other languages than German by choosing your language in the
search criteria Fremdsprache.
Generally you have to make an appointment to see a doctor in case you are ill. Some
general practitioners also have open office hours. In case of an emergency at night or
on weekends you can go to the Emergency Medical Service of Stuttgart doctors at the
Marienhospital (address see page 10).
In order to receive treatment you need to either present your health insurance card
from one of the state health insurance companies (see page 16), your EHIC, or show the
certificate from your private health insurance company. State health insurance companies pay the medical treatment directly to the doctor/hospital. Private insurances
have a different payment system. You probably will have to pay the bill first and ask for
reimbursement at the company. Make yourself familiar with the specific regulations of
your own health insurance before you see a doctor.
Prescribed medication can be picked up at any pharmacy/chemist’s (Apotheke). If you
have state student health insurance you usually have to pay a contibution between
EUR 5 and EUR 10 for each prescription. In case of private insurance, the company
might also pay for all prescribed medication, check your contract.
For psychological counselling, you can go to the counselling centre of the Student
Services (Studentenwerk Stuttgart). For appoinments please call:
Tel. 0711 95 74-480 (Mon–Fri 1.30–2.30 p.m.)

Shopping
Business hours in Germany are regulated by the government but every state can decide
upon its own business hours regulations. Baden-Württemberg decided that shops may
open 24 hours between Monday and Saturday. However, only a few shops make use
of these possibilities. Some food chains like REWE open their stores Mon–Sat from
8.00 a.m. to 10.00 p.m. Usually, downtown shops open between around 10.00 a.m.
and 7.00 p.m. Smaller towns and shops in the suburbs still like to stick to the old shop
hours between 8.00 a.m. and 6.00 or 6.30 p.m. Some shops close for a lunch break.
Many petrol stations are open 24 hours and offer also food, snacks, drinks and toiletries. The shops in the main train station and some shops in the Arnulf-Klett-Passage
are open longer hours and on weekends.
