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!

Save the Spud – Together Against Food Waste!

After several months, the nationwide sustainability initiative "Rettet die Knolle!" (Save the Spud!) is coming to a close. Together with 32 other student services organizations, we took a stand for greater appreciation of food, sustainability, and the responsible use of resources.

The campaign is ending, but the message remains: food is valuable and belongs on the plate, not in the trash!

Thank you to everyone who participated and enjoyed the meals!

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!

Is eating at the cafeteria a luxury?

In the *Frankfurter Allgemeine* column "Uni live," columnist Tom Konjer offers what we consider an apt summary of the current state of university canteens and student services organizations in Germany.
After all, in our view, the university canteen is more than just a place to eat—it is an integral part of the student experience.
Rising prices are making it increasingly difficult for many students to afford a hot lunch. While other countries, such as France, provide greater support for their canteens, Germany often lacks the necessary subsidies from the state level.
Affordable canteen meals are not a luxury; they are part of the social infrastructure at higher education institutions.
A student's education should not be thwarted by financial constraints, and affordable canteen dining fosters equal opportunity, community, and inclusion.
Food should not be a luxury—not even for students!
