Information on renting a barrier-free accommodation
To apply, you must have a letter of admission or certificate of enrollment from a Berlin university or college that cooperates with us. Applications can be submitted online on the dormitory portal on our website.
If you require wheelchair-accessible accommodation, it is advisable to contact the InfoCenter Wohnen (Housing Information Center) at an early stage (for first-year students, before enrollment).

Please note:
- When applying online on the residence hall portal, you can select from chronic illness, walking, visual, and hearing impairments, or wheelchair user under “Disability” in the personal details section.
- Please use the “Comments” field on our application portal to let us know about your special needs.
Please provide us with proof of your disability or chronic illness in the form of a copy of your disability card or current medical certificates.
You can upload the proof directly online. If you do not have a disability card, please make an appointment with our counseling center at https://www.stw.berlin/beratung/. The colleagues in the Accessible Studying or Psychotherapeutic Counseling departments can then use your medical certificates to assess whether you are eligible for preferential treatment. Applications for inclusion services such as study assistance, sign language and written interpreters, book allowances, and aids can also be submitted here.
After submitting your online application, you will receive a message from the InfoCenter with further information on how to proceed.
Please note that there may still be waiting times even if you are given priority, and that it may not be possible to accommodate your preferences regarding dormitories.
Priority allocation of housing only applies to initial accommodation.
