The Bonn Student Union is believed to be the oldest student union in Germany. It is responsible for the economic, health, cultural and social support of the students of the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn and the Hochschule Bonn-Rhein-Sieg , thus for about 36,000 students.

history

Cafeteria at the Römer-Castell

The student union was founded in September 1919 as Verein Studentenwohl e. V. founded and in 1921 in the association Studentenwerk Bonn e. V. converted. Since the student unions in Dresden and Berlin did not come into being until December 1919, the Bonn student union describes itself as the oldest student union in Germany. According to other sources, the student welfare association was not founded until 1920.

By the law on the student unions in the state of North Rhine-Westphalia passed on February 27, 1974 , the Bonn student union was converted into an institution under public law on March 1, 1974 .
