USER ACCOUNT

APPLICATION FORM

After you have created your profile, you can fill in the required information (all mandatory fields are marked with a red star). Please note the explanations for the individual fields in the form.

You have the option of saving your application as a draft by clicking on the button "Save draft and go back to Application" and continuing with the editing at a later point in time. To be able to save the draft, the declaration of completeness and correctness must not yet be ticked in the form. For further editing, select the corresponding application under "My studio application".

We recommend saving a draft if you would like advice on your details over the phone. We can then advise you on the basis of the saved information.

STUDIO APARTMENTS

For studio apartments that are part of housing construction development programs, you need a Wohnberechtigungsschein ("WBS mit besonderem Raumbedarf") for 2 rooms per person which is available at the Bürgeramt.

JOINT APPLICATIONS

You can apply as a group via the online tool, also in addition to an individual application.

DEADLINE

The documents for the current call for applications must be uploaded in full by the application deadline on Tuesday, May 23, 2023, 23:59.

We strongly recommend that you submit your documents a few days before the application deadline to prevent server overloads towards the end of the deadline which may prevent you from submitting your application on time.

If a server overload does result in applications not reaching the studio office, no late applications can be accepted. Whenever possible, use the tool to upload your application ahead of time.
