Wohnanlage Hainbuchenstraße 4, 8, 10

Overview

The Hainbuchenstraße (HBS) hall of residence is a student accommodation complex in the west of Aachen, just a few minutes’ walk from many of the RWTH Aachen University buildings. It is situated right next to Studentendorf and FAHO on the Königshügel and accommodates 178 residents across three blocks. Block A (Hainbuchenstr. 4) opened at the end of March 2014, followed shortly afterwards by Block B (Hainbuchenstr. 10) and, from the summer onwards, Block C (Hainbuchenstr. 8).
With its own bus stop, ‘Hainbuchenstraße’, and its proximity to Westbahnhof, even more distant destinations can be reached quickly. Sports activities are offered at the RWTH’s University Sports Centre, just a minute’s walk away. Like all other halls of residence run by the Aachen Student Services Organisation, the HBS is self-managed, which is why the association ‘Wohnheim Hainbuchenstraße e.V.’ was founded.
