Student village Efferen
The student village Efferen is a student residence, preferably for students from Cologne University . It was created through an initial donation from the Bayer AG board of management and honorary doctor of the University of Cologne , Ulrich Haberland , in the amount of one million DM to the University of Cologne and the Cologne Student Union in 1960 shortly before his death.
Emergence
Planning started shortly thereafter. It should in Hürther district Efferen at the gates of Cologne away from the Luxembourg road built on the site of a former brick factory. Today's star architect Joachim Schürmann was commissioned with the planning and implementation. The Cologne garden and landscape architect Gottfried Kühn planned the landscape embedding of the buildings. The building was realized between 1963 and 1966 and expanded several times. A renovation took place in 1996. The area consists of several two to five-story buildings and two high-rise buildings with 13 floors, which are the two tallest buildings in Hürth. Yellow wooden houses in the Swedish style were later built around these red point high-rise buildings . The first four buildings were named Ulrich Haberland Houses in honor of Haberland . The student village provides a total of 1,100 rooms and thus 20 percent of all places of the Cologne student union.
In addition to the apartments and rooms, there are common rooms available to the residents such as a tea room, library, photo laboratory, bicycle workshop, table tennis rooms, piano and grand piano room and a former chapel, which now serves as an event room. A sports field and a party room complete the offer.
Transport links and surroundings
The connection of the student village to Cologne University is made by the formerly independent foothills railway of the former Cologne-Bonn Railways (KBE), today's Stadtbahn line 18 , which stops at Cologne's Unicenter , Universitätsstraße, and thus at the chemical and physical institutes. To the east, right next to the student village, is the former Efferen gravel pit , which is used as a bathing facility in summer - albeit not legally.
Further development
In the summer of 2015 it became known that the student union was planning to expand the student village of Efferen. To this end, the low buildings are to be replaced by multi-storey buildings. The feasibility study was carried out by Professor Gernot Schulz . Up to 800 new beds are planned.
