New locking system in the AStA Stadtcampus
Dear students,
On 01.04.2025, the electronic locking system in the AStA Stadtcampus will be replaced by a more modern system, as the current system is outdated and is no longer being developed. As a result, the DeliCard will lose its function as an access card.
From March 31st, you can activate yourself during the respective opening hours at the AStA Stadtcampus office (Königsplatz 1, 6th floor) and at the AStA Service office at the university (ME U 205) and have a new access card issued. The self-service terminal will be switched off.
Important note: Due to the renovation work, the AStA Stadtcampus will be closed from 24.03. to 30.03.2025.
You can find the opening hours below. Further information and impressions of the AStA Stadtcampus can be found here.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us! Please use our feedback form.
Best regards
Your Stadtcampus team

"Im Namen des Stiftes" - eine Lesung von Daniela Sepehri
The Paderborn-born Berliner-by-choice Daniela Sepehri will be reading from her first collection of texts “Im Namen des Stiftes” on March 18, 2025 at 7.30 pm in the Paderborn cultural pub “Sputnik”.
In this powerful collection, Daniela Sepehri has been invited by Lektora Verlag in Paderborn and the AStA of Paderborn University to present poems and texts that are radically honest and get deep under the skin. With multi-layered themes such as identity, home, racism and women's rights, she immerses readers in the world of personal and social struggles. In powerful words, she dismantles structures of oppression and calls on us to no longer remain silent. A stirring work that raises the voice of all those who are often overlooked. The event will be moderated by Nadine Dubberke.
Admission is free for 20 students (thanks to the Kulturticket), simply book a ticket at kultur@asta.upb.de.

Extension of the Study Space
You want to prepare for your exams, but there's no room at the university or you prefer to study in the city? Then come to the Study Space at the AStA Stadtcampus!
You can use the rooms on the fourth and fifth floors of the AStA Stadtcampus (Königsplatz 1) as a place to study and write during the exam period. Of course, the Studyspace is also open outside the exam period. You can study, work and brainstorm there in peace and quiet.
Brand new: From 13.01.2025, we will be expanding the 5th floor by 22 study spaces, so that you will have a total of almost 100 freely selectable workstations at your disposal!
The entire learning and writing space also consists of group and quiet study rooms as well as several bookable individual study rooms. Glass walls allow plenty of daylight into the rooms and are ideal for creating mind maps and collecting ideas.
Thanks to the implementation of Eduroam, you can also surf the UPB network and access the library's digital resources. You can take a break and exchange ideas in the coffee kitchen and on the lounge furniture on the roof terraces.
To gain access, the DeliCard must be activated at the terminal in the AStA Service at Paderborn University or in the Stadtcampus office (Mon-Fri 9:30 - 10:30).

Ampel Aus - Was jetzt?
Events have come thick and fast since November 6. First the elections in the USA, and then Chancellor Scholz dismissed Christian Lindner on the same day - making it clear that the traffic lights are now history. Many question marks remain: When will there be a vote of confidence? When will there be new elections? Is it better as early as possible or a little later in the year? And how did the end come about in the first place? What were the biggest problems and points of contention?
It's hard to keep track of all the new information. That's why we want to shed some light on the situation for you.
When: December 4, 2024, 6:00-8:00 p.m.
Where? Q.0.101
At our event on the end of the traffic light coalition, we want to give you an overview of the dissolution of the coalition and open up space for questions and discussion. Dr. Jörg Schroeder and Junior Professor Dr. Jonas Hagedorn will introduce the topic and answer your questions.
Registration for the event is not necessary.
