Each semester, you pay for various things with your semester fee. But what exactly does this include?

The semester ticket fulfils several functions, and knowing about them can make your time studying in Lüneburg even better, because in addition to a bus and train ticket, you can do even more with it.

Semesterticket as Germany Ticket

Since the winter semester 24/25, we have had a digital, Germany-wide semester ticket: the Deutschlandticket. With the Leuphana app (or chip card, if you are unable to use the app), you can use all regional buses, trams and trains within Germany.

Here you will find all further information about the semester ticket and the Leuphana app.

Semester ticket as an admission ticket to cultural events

As a semester ticket for culture, your semester ticket brings pleasant surprises directly into your hand. In Lüneburg, the ticket gives you access to numerous cultural events for (almost) free.

Who? Where? What? We have collected more information about the Semesterticket Culture for you.

Semester ticket for free bicycle parking in the RadSpeicher at the train station

Free parking in the RadSpeicher? Yes, you heard that right!

Next time you’re at the station, show your student ID and your passport to the team at the bike store and you’ll receive a sticker for your bike that allows you to park for free in both areas of the bike store. Please note! The sticker is only valid for one semester. You will therefore have to present your student ID again for the next semester.

Click here for the opening hours of the bike store to pick up your sticker.

Semester ticket for the use of the StadtRad

Your semester ticket gives you even more access to public transport. Because this also includes the StadtRad. No bike of your own – no problem. Or you have visitors and want to travel as a couple? Easy! You can use the StadtRAD free of charge for 60 minutes per journey at all Call a Bike stations throughout Germany.

We have created an explanation for you so that being mobile becomes child’s play.
