Temporary home in Hamburg - living & learning under one roof.

The house

Living in the college

The Europa-Kolleg Hamburg is not only a place of learning and research, but also a pleasant place to live. The campus is located in the beautiful and green district of Groß Flottbek. The Elbe beach, HafenCity and the city center, as well as the University of Hamburg and the city's numerous research institutes, can be reached quickly and easily by public transport. Shopping facilities for daily needs can be found in the immediate vicinity of the campus.

The residents

Diversity in campus life

Our guests come from all over the world. They study or conduct research at the Europa-Kolleg, the University of Hamburg or the German Electron Synchrotron DESY. Others work at the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea, the Max Planck Institutes in Hamburg, Eppendorf University Hospital, the Bernhard Nocht Institute or the Klein-Flottbek Biocenter. This interesting, international environment facilitates an exciting exchange between all residents - and inspires our campus community as a whole.
