Studierendenwohnheim Händelstraße

Overview

The dormitory Händelstrasse is located in the district Herdern. The building, which features a historically protected bell tower, was once used to host railway workers and later was as an orphanage. Today, students live here in flat-sharing communities or in single apartments.

Behind house no. 20 are two new and modern buildings (Händelstrasse 18 A and 18 b).

Practice rooms for musicians, a café, and enough area for activities are available to students. The idyllic location and atmosphere makes this dorm so popular for all students in Freiburg.

It takes 10 minutes to get into the city centre by bike. The tram stop and the train Station "Freiburg-Herdern" are within walking distance.
