Eligible persons
The guesthouse apartments are intended to accommodate visiting scholars during their research stay at Paderborn University. Unfortunately, booking requests from students, interns, employees¹ or private guests cannot be accepted. In addition, only persons who are at least 18 years old are permitted to stay at the guesthouse; this also applies to an accompanying person (partner).
1For tax reasons, persons with UPB employee status (see employment contract) are not permitted to stay at the guesthouse. However, this is not excluded in the case of special contract types. If you have any questions regarding the exact status of your guest under one of these contract types, please contact the Human Resources Department (e.g. Ms Denecke, tel.: 60 - 5361, email: Dunja.Denecke@zv.uni-paderborn.de)

The guest is responsible for keeping the apartment in a well-maintained condition and ensuring it is aired regularly.
To support the upkeep of the apartments, a professional basic cleaning is carried out on working days (Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. onwards). This service cannot be cancelled and does not exempt the tenant from the obligation to clean the apartment regularly.
