Accommodation

Affordable housing in a central location is highly sought after. We recommend you start searching for a flat or house early on.

  • We support your search for a flat or house and provide information on the housing market in Würzburg and the local area.
  • Please do not hesitate to contact the Welcome Centre if you have any questions concerning the different suburbs of the city or the villages surrounding Würzburg and transport connections to the university.
  • If you encounter any language difficulties in your communication with landlords you can ask the staff of the Welcome Centre for help.

Most rental offers in newspapers and local online portals are published in German even though many landlords speak English. The following glossary may help you to identify matching offers and understand common abbreviations for central amenities:

Glossary for your apartment search

The rent index provides you with information on the current prices and the most inquired living spaces in Würzburg and the surrounding area.

Housing Offers

WARNING: Please beware of tricksters on the housing market. Do NOT transfer high amounts of deposits beforehand!

Please note:

  1. The University of Würzburg solely provides a platform for posting information for third-party housing offers on the Welcome Center website. The University of Würzburg is not responsible for the content of the respective housing offers. The Welcome Center does not act as an intermediary. Neither the University of Würzburg nor the Welcome Center will be a contract-party to any tenancy agreement.
  2. The University assumes no responsibility for the success of finding accommodation. JMU is also not liable for the content of the information provided by the potential tenants as third parties, nor for any possible damages resulting from the use of the information.
  3. Users of the platform are not entitled to the presentation of certain content. JMU has the right to change the platform at any time and, in particular in the case of fraudulent offers, to delete these permanently and to block the potential landlord as a provider.

If you need to bridge time, the Welcome Center is happy to support your search for accommodation for the first days in Würzburg. The university signed framework agreements with various hotels in the city which offer reduced prices for employees of Julius-Maximilians-Universität. On demand, we can send you a list with hotel names and further information and can reserve a room in a hotel of your choice.

For shorter research stays of up to six months guest researchers can apply for an apartment in the international guesthouse near "Neue Universität", Sanderring.
If you are interested, please contact the Welcome Center or your host institute, which has to fill in a reservation form for you in case there is a vacancy.
You have to keep in mind, though, that the apartments are quite frequently booked out long in advance.
