history
Shortly before the universities in Essen and Duisburg merged to form the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) in 2003, the Essen and Duisburg student unions merged on January 1, 2002. Both former student unions were founded in 1974. In Duisburg, the former college of education had had a cafeteria since 1968 . The first cafeteria in Essen was opened in 1976, the Duisburg campus cafeteria followed in 1991. The main construction period of the Duisburg student dormitories can be dated from 1981 to 1985. Social and psychological counseling for students has existed since April 1, 1994.
In 2018, the Studierendenwerk had 375 employees, the majority of whom work in the catering industry.
In September 2014, the University Future Act (HZG) NRW was passed. In Article 4 of this law, the new Student Union Act (StWG) was passed and came into force on October 1, 2014. Accordingly, the student unions in North Rhine-Westphalia were asked to rename themselves student unions. The administrative board of the Studierendenwerk Essen-Duisburg passed a new statute in its meeting on December 15, 2014, which provides for a change of name to the Studierendenwerk Essen-Duisburg . The Ministry of Innovation, Science and Research of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia approved the statutes in a letter dated February 5, 2015. The new name of the former Essen-Duisburg Student Union is thus the Essen-Duisburg Student Union - an institution under public law - .

According to §3 of the Studierendenwerkgesetz NRW (StWG), which applies from 1 October 2014 Version two bodies: the board of directors and the management. The board of directors decides according to §6 StWG u. a. on the articles of association, contribution regulations and the choice of auditor. It decides on the business plan, determines the annual financial statements and relieves the management. The board of directors monitors the management in particular with regard to organization, accounting and compliance with the principles of financing and economic management. The management as the second body leads the student union and conducts its business on its own responsibility. She represents the Studierendenwerk in court and in legal transactions, is responsible for the business plan and is the superior of the staff (Section 9 StWG).
The Studierendenwerk Essen-Duisburg finances itself mainly from its own income from gastronomy and rental income, social contributions levied by the students, a general state subsidy from tax income from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and state and community subsidies for operating the day-care centers.
