Frequently Asked Questions
How do I contact the Studierendenwerk / the landlord?
If you have any questions about the dormitory, our janitor is your first point of contact.
Rental questions are answered by the Studierendenwerk's dormitory administration.
How can I sublet my room / apartment?
A sublease requires the approval of the landlord, Studierendenwerk Aachen A.ö.R. For this purpose, you submit an application to the landlord.
You can easily create and fill out those applications online using our form. There you will also find instructions on the procedure.
How do I reach the janitor?
The office of the janitor is located next to the laundry room opposite the entrance of house 3 (Kastanienweg 12). Next to the door is a glass box with telephone number, mail address and office hours.

We will contact you as soon as you are eligible for a free room
I am on waiting list position X. When am I eligible for a room?
We will contact you as soon as you are eligible for a vacant room. Please make sure to check your email regularly and be available by phone.
Due to the high demand for student housing in Aachen, we also experience longer waiting times.
I feel unwell here. Who can I turn to?
If there are problems or conflicts in the hall of residence, you can contact the house representatives at any time. They are always willing to listen and can discuss the next steps with you.
If this is not possible, you can of course also contact the STW directly. There is also a social counseling service.
I have locked myself out. What now?
First try to reach the janitor on site. If he is not there, you will have to call a locksmith.
The Studierendenwerk has more information about this here under the point "Schlüsseldienst".

All information about the network and your connection can be found on the page of the Netz.ac e.V..
What is the house association?
The house association, KaWo Drei e.V., offers many activities around the dormitory and advocates for the interests of the residents. You can find more information here.
When I print I get the error message: “Missing funds – Job terminated”.
Make sure you have loaded enough quota for your printout and, in the case of black & white, set "Xerox Black & White" to "On" in the Xerox driver. Also check that the paper type is set correctly, our printer only supports A4 & A3 sizes!
