If you have further questions regarding housing in Hamburg, please contact maite.baeurle(at)law-school.de.

There are several dormitories run by the “Studierendenwerk Hamburg”. We are pleased that we were able to reserve 15 furnished rooms exclusively for foreign MLB students (younger than 35!) in a modern student dormitory (Berliner Tor), which is centrally located and easily reachable by public transport from Bucerius. On the basis of your reservation via the response sheet, we will sign a contract for you which is binding for one year, 12 months: from September 1, 2008 to August 31, 2009. You will then have to authorize Ms. Maite Anna Baeurle to sign your contract before your arrival. It will not be possible to choose your roommate/s, change or sublet your room. The rent must be paid monthly, starting in September 2008.

The apartments contain 3 to 4 single rooms, a built-in kitchen and a shared bathroom. Each room has cable TV and internet access. A meeting room on the ground floor is available to all residents for cultural events, workgroups, film evenings etc. In the basement there are parking spaces for bikes, a bike workshop and coin-operated washing machines. Monthly rent is € 299. It includes costs for heating, electricity, water, bed linens, dishes, staircase cleaning, the costs for cable TV and internet access and house administration. Once a week, the dormitory staff provide a basic cleaning of bathroom, kitchen and corridor floors. Please click here for more information on the dormitory.

If you are older than 35, we can assist you in finding a room in another student dormitory. In other dormitories, apartments are generally shared with more than four persons and are less modern. Therefore, the monthly rent is about € 220 to 290 and also includes utilities.

It is of course easier to find an apartment when you are in Hamburg.
This way you can make an appointment to look at the apartment and meet the landlord. In this case, we would recommend to stay a few nights in a low-priced hotel or in youth hostels.

Please click here for addresses of hostels & centrally located, inexpensive hotels in Hamburg.

In dormitories run by the Studentenwerk there is also a limited number of guestrooms available, which can be rented for up to three months. The age limit for guestrooms is 35 years. The rooms can be rented directly from the House Administration in the respective halls of residence. Rooms can be rented for a maximum period of three months. 

If you prefer to look for accomodation when you are in Hamburg, we strongly recommend to arrive a few days earlier.
