Olympic Village Student Quarters
Olympic Village Student Quarters
Students have been living in the former women's olympic village since
1972. The bungalows were rebuilt between 2007-2009 and students moved back
in, in autumn 2009.
The Olympic Village (so-called "Olydorf") used by students consists of three living areas.On the one hand these are the 1052 (formerly 800) individual bungalows. Characteristic was (and now is again) the painting of the bungalow doorways and facades, which was an expression of European youth culture. The refurbishment of the bungalows for the European Athletics Championships in 2002, when the student village was once again inhabited by athletes, inter alia exchanged the doors, so the painting was partly lost. The bungalows were a very popular housing form before the renovation work began. The mini-houses newly built with reinforced concrete parts are essentially based on the original bungalows from 1972. Werner Wirsing, one of the old architects, was involved in the planning for the new construction of the bungalows. The residents have a two-storey duplex apartment, which has a kitchenette, bathroom and terrace. In addition, every new inhabitant again has the right to design the façade of his bungalow himself.In the high-rise building (Haus A and B) at the Helene-Mayer-Ring 7, 801 students live in single apartments, each with their own kitchenette, bathroom and after conversion without balcony. After the rehabilitation of the bungalows, the high-rise was renovated from 2010 to 2012.
In addition there are around 100 residential units in family apartments in Connollystrasse 7 to 11, which are inhabited by young families with or without a child.
There is lots on offer here, not least by the „Olympic Centre Students Association“, which has already passed its 40th year of existance.
