Welcome Services is the central contact point for all German and foreign visitors, be it a guest scientist, a participant for a conference or a summer student. The following pages should help you to get prepared for a stay in Hamburg. The assistance comprises information on foreign law, reservation of guestrooms, house hunting, language courses and cultural events. Our aim is to simplify the lives of our scientists and their families and to enable them to do first steps in Germany independently.


The services are divided into 3 divisions:
