The Studierendenwerk Hamburg (until 2005: Studentenwerk Hamburg) is one of 57 student unions in Germany. It looks after students in Hamburg with a wide range of offers and is a partner of various universities in the Hanseatic city.

history

In 1922 it was founded as a non-profit association by students and professors to support students in need. In 1933, when it was brought into line, the plant lost its independence and was incorporated into the Reichsstudentenwerk. Work could be resumed shortly after the end of the war.

In September 1969, Manfred Klee was appointed managing director of the board and held his office until 1975. Manfred Klee worked as managing director from January 1976 to August 2001. Jürgen Allemeyer has been the managing director of the Studierendenwerk since April 2007.
