One of the central contact points for you if you come to campus by bike is our ‘BikeBox’ (behind House V). Here you can carry out minor repairs and maintenance work on your bike yourself, from fixing flat tyres to repairing brakes. The ‘BikeBox’ is equipped with all the necessary tools and materials and is supervised by competent staff who will be happy to help you. This facility is designed not only to promote your independence as a cyclist, but also to raise your awareness of bicycle maintenance and repair.
Our mobility officer and two dedicated student assistants look after the bicycle container.
We are also proud to have concluded a co-operation agreement with the German Cyclists' Federation (ADFC). Employees of the ADFC are available once a week for two hours to look after the container and actively help with repairs to your bike. Thanks to this exemplary cooperation, the container is staffed at least three times a week to answer your questions about tools or bike repairs in general.
The opening hours of the BikeBox are as follows
- Monday: 12:00 - 13:00, supervised by Meike
- Wednesday: 11:00 - 13:00, supervised by the ADFC (The BikeBox is closed every 5th Wednesday of the month)
- Thursday: 15:30 - 16:30, supervised by Finn
However, if it should happen that the container is unexpectedly not occupied, but you urgently need to carry out repairs to your bike, you can make an appointment to collect the keys by email. In such cases, our mobility officer, our student assistants and our building management technicians are there to support you.
For appointment requests or general questions and suggestions about the container, please contact us by e-mail:

We are here to help you with your bike needs and look forward to your enquiries and visits to the BikeBox!

Note for you: The official operation of our new bike shelter will not start until the new year. We will send you the relevant information by email at the start of operations.
