Berlin, 26 November 2024
Due to the budget cuts recently decided by Berlin’s state government, the studierendenWERK BERLIN is forced to make adjustments to its services. As a first measure, the price of the dish of the day in our canteens will be adjusted. The price of desserts will also increase slightly.
From 1 January 2025, the meal of the day for students will cost 1.75 euros. Previously, the price was 1.45 euros.
The price of dessert for students will increase from 70 cents to 75 cents.
We very much regret this development. Our aim remains to continue to offer students high-quality, varied, healthy and yet affordable catering.
However, the price adjustment is necessary in order to maintain the operation of the canteens and catering for students despite the massive financial cuts.
As was announced on 19 November 2024, the state of Berlin will drastically reduce the subsidy to studierendenWERK BERLIN. Specifically, 7.5 million euros of the originally agreed subsidy amount will be cut from next year.
Unfortunately, the price increase that has now been decided will not be the only measure. Further adjustments will have to be made and there will also be closures of institutions.
We will of course keep students and universities up to date on this on an ongoing basis.
