GERMERSHEIM: Photography competition for students in Faculty VI

What does ‘home’ mean to you?

Is it the place where you grew up? A stunning landscape, a vibrant city, a special tradition, or perhaps simply a moment that reminds you of home?
Home has many faces – and we’d love to get to know them!

The Studierendenwerk Vorderpfalz and the ftsk’s AStA warmly invite all students to take part in the ‘My Home’ photo competition!

Disruption in the Landau university network

The issue has been resolved and all functions have been restored!
Due to a disruption in the Landau university network, it is currently only possible to top up your student ID card using cash.
Connectivity to debit and credit card payment systems is currently unavailable.

We will provide an update as soon as the issue has been resolved!

Attention, Landau: Please validate your student ID by November 2nd!

Attention, students at the RPTU Landau campus!
A major system migration is taking place at the RPTU from November 2nd to November 13th.

During this period, it will not be possible to validate your student ID cards.

We strongly urge you to have your student IDs validated at the terminals in the "Schlauch" (the corridor area) before November 2nd—if you haven't already done so at the start of the semester.

Furthermore, no replacement cards can be issued during this time!

If you have not managed to validate your student ID by then and would like to enjoy a meal in the canteen (Mensa), you will unfortunately have to pay the guest rate of €7.90 if you wish to pay using your card.

PLEASE NOTE: You can purchase a canteen meal ticket for €4.50 at the cafeteria checkout by presenting your certificate of enrollment.

So, everyone — get to it and make sure to validate your cards as soon as possible!

Your recipe in our cafeteria!

Do you have a favorite dish that absolutely belongs on the cafeteria menu?
Then send us your recipe and take part in our recipe contest in Worms and Ludwigshafen!

We’re looking for delicious main courses—whether meat-based, vegetarian, or vegan. The only requirements are that your recipe must be suitable for large-scale catering and the ingredients must be available at a reasonable price from wholesale suppliers. Our cafeteria teams will check the feasibility for you.

Our head chefs will select the best recipes at both locations. The winning dishes will be served in the Worms and Ludwigshafen cafeterias in December 2026.

And there’s plenty of cafeteria credit to be won:

1st place: €100
2nd place: €50
3rd place: €25

Since we’ll be choosing three winners in both Worms and Ludwigshafen, there is a total of €350 in cafeteria credit up for grabs!

Best of all: If your recipe is selected, we’ll invite you and five friends to the cafeteria for a free meal. If your dish is a hit with our guests, it might even earn a permanent spot on the menu.

Submit your recipe via our digital form now and join in!

Silver in the 2026 PETA Canteen Ranking

Our vegan offerings have made a great impression: Studierendenwerk Vorderpfalz was awarded Silver in the 2026 PETA canteen ranking.

This Silver award places our dining services among those institutions that already provide a strong range of plant-based options and are continuously developing them further.

For us, this award is not only a wonderful recognition of the hard work put in by our canteen teams but also a source of motivation: we aim to further expand our vegan offerings and provide our students with a diverse selection of plant-based dishes.

We are delighted with this achievement and remain committed to bringing even more plant-based variety to the table!
