Apart from the reputation of the university: what makes it a good student city? It is truly a thriving sports, leisure and pub offering. That and many young people from all over make the city attractive even for non-students.

Looking for three points of Münster? Let’s go! 1. City of students (in addition to the University of Westphalian Wilhelms, there are eight other universities). 2. The city of television “Tatort”, one of the most famous. 3. Bicycle City. No, a cycling city in Germany. With half a million “Leezen” there are about two wheels per person! It is very easy to walk, either on the promenade declared as a great cycle path around the beautiful and historic old town, on Aasee near the center or in the surrounding area. Another good thing for cycling is the very short paths, which lead to a lot of greenery. There is rarely more than five kilometers between university buildings and beautiful places like St. Paul’s Cathedral, the Main Market or the two LWL museums. The baroque castle is the headquarters of the university and a tourist attraction. A strong bar and restaurant area is likely to attract more students. Kuh- and Hansaviertel probably contributed to the LivCom award in 2004 as “the most liveable city in the world”…

The city of 230,000 inhabitants Breisgau can point to several special features: the warmest climate in Germany, the oldest inn in the country and the highest number of students, many of whom who enrolled at the Albert Ludwig University, founded in 1457. The “Green City” designation not only means a high commitment to the environment but also many green spaces in the city, especially in the surrounding areas. Besides, the Black Forest is nearby. General entertainment? Up! The famous “Bächle”, an aqueduct system, runs through the wooded town center, underscoring the already beautiful medieval environment. The highlight in the truest sense is the 116 meter high cathedral, which is surrounded by a historic shop, a grocer and the Alte Wachen – a perfect combination of Gothic and Romanesque architecture.
Göttingen: a city of knowledge with an innovative spirit
Göttingen: Gänseliesel fountain in the old town, Germany Fairy Tale Route

It’s not a fairy tale: The Grimm brothers worked from 1829 to 1837 as librarians and professors at the then-famous Georg-August University in Göttingen. It is understood that they were also related to the future Chancellor Otto Prince von Bismarck there. He was even imprisoned several times because of his “constant energy”. Fortunately, these brutal measures are a thing of the past, so more than 30,000 students can now find entertainment in the bars and restaurants of the old town, with half-built buildings. What you will also find: the Gänseliesel fountain in front of the historic town hall, a landmark of Lower Saxony. It is also customary for successful graduates (among them many later Nobel Prize winners such as pathologist Paul Ehrlich) to climb the fountain and present a bronze statue. , goose goose, kiss on the cheek. The Grimms would have loved this tradition about the “world’s most kissable girl”…
Bonn: Ode to Joy
Bonn: Old Town Hall

Anyone can learn history in Bonn, which is more than 2,000 years old: in the House of History of the Federal Republic of Germany, around the Rhine, where the former parliament and government buildings bear witness to 41 years as a city federal capital, and when walking in the city center. Highlights include the mighty cathedral and the old town hall in the rococo style. But you can study history “for real”, along with about 200 other subjects. No matter what: Since the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität is spread over more than 350 buildings, including the Royal Palace, students they are sure to find more of the city than most bars in the old town. For example, more than 20 UN agencies are now based here, as well as several successful DAX companies. However, Ludwig van Beethoven is everywhere. In addition, monuments, streets, works of art, pharmacies, hotels, festivals and orchestras have been named after the inventor. And of course his birthplace, one of the most visited music museums in the world.
