Limit energy prices - Students and student unions urgently need support

The inclusion of students in the third relief package is the right signal, but the funds are not sufficient.
The energy price brake must also apply to tenants:inside the student union, since they pay flat rent
Revenue from the dining halls no longer even covers the energy they have to pay for.

Price increase in the canteen

For the very first time in forty years, Studierendenwerk has been forced to raise prices in the dining hall during the year.

You surely followed the news over the past few weeks and you know that energy and food prices have risen sharply and continue to do so.

Unfortunately, these price increases also have a direct impact on the Studierendenwerk and therefore - you guessed it - on all students: The food prices in the Mensa will increase from 01.10.2022.

Here are a few examples from our daily work to make the price development transparent since March 2022:

Fish has become 100% more expensive to purchase
Frying fats have become 90% more expensive
Pasta costs on average over 60% more
Electricity and gas prices have already more than doubled and further forecasts for the development of gas prices are not exactly optimistic

To all tenants: Take part in the energy saving challenge of your dormitory...

... and win a dorm party!
From October 1, 2022 to January 31, 2023, all dormitories of the Studierendenwerk and all 971 tenants in Landau, Germersheim, Ludwigshafen and Worms will compete against each other in an "Energy Saving Challenge".

Energy is rapidly becoming more expensive, and unfortunately the Studierendenwerk will have to pass on the energy costs to you as a tenant in the future. To save your own money and to keep energy affordable, there is only one sensible way: SAVE ENERGY!

So: Saving energy makes ecological, economic and social sense in order to conserve our resources. This should be incentive enough for you to actively participate in our challenge.

Free for you - priceless for the environment!
