There has been a playground on the UR campus since July 2017. It is located south of the "Uni-Kum" daycare centre near the Biopark and is available to all members and guests of the University of Regensburg.

Children up to the age of twelve will find plenty of opportunities to play here. In addition to swings, slides and playhouses, there is a large wooden pirate ship that invites children to climb, play and run around.

You can find it on the URsite map (opens in a new window). (This PDF is not accessible) in the south-east corner of the campus.

The photos were taken at the opening of the playground in July 2017.

You will find baby changing and breastfeeding facilities in several buildings on campus.

In some places you will find nappy-changing facilities in the toilets, in others there is a separate room where you can change nappies or breastfeed your child in peace.

You can find detailed information on the locations in this site plan (pdf file). (opens in a new window). (This PDF is not accessible)

A barrier-free campus also means that you can get through easily with pushchairs.

Here you can find the site plan of the UR with barrier-free paths and lifts (opens in a new window). (This PDF is not accessible), even during the construction site (pdf file, 150 KB).

There are family parking spaces in the two new UR multi-storey car parks south of the Biopark. They are located right at the entrance next to the parking spaces for electric cars, each with the parking space number 027.

In addition, four family parking spaces are available in the car park opposite the Biopark I section of the building.

There are various locations across the campus where pregnant women can get some rest.

Some of these are quiet rooms, but some are just portable loungers that you can borrow and set up in an office.

If you are pregnant and are likely to need a place to rest near your place of study or work in the near future, please enquire in good time.

You can find an overview of reclining options (opens in a new window). (This PDF is not accessible) here

There are lockers in the new biology building that are specially reserved for parents. The lockers are located directly opposite the nappy-changing and breastfeeding room DE 1.119. You can also use these lockers over several semesters.

If you are interested, please contact Family Services.

If your child accompanies you to university, you can borrow toys from the Family Service. These are conveniently packed in a trolley case.

Please contact the Family Service in good time and we will put together age-appropriate toys for you.

Parents of young children do not have to put reading room books back on the shelf themselves after returning them. The counter staff will be happy to do this for you.

In the information centre of the central library you will find a study area where it doesn't have to be quiet. Here you can work more relaxed in the presence of your child/children than in the quiet study areas in the reading rooms. Please speak to the counter staff if you would like to borrow colouring books and pencils.

Many library media are available for download at home via VPN. You are welcome to send us an acquisition proposal.

Children of student parents can eat for free in the Regensburg canteen up to the age of 6. The Studentenwerk Niederbayern/Oberpfalz offers a free children's plate in the Regensburg canteen.

Student parents can obtain a "Kinderteller-Mensa-Card" from the staff at the Studentenwerk canteen card office (as usual against a deposit). A valid certificate of enrolment and a copy of the child's birth certificate are sufficient. With this card in combination with a valid student ID, the following applies: Whenever a student parent eats in one of our canteens accompanied by their own child/children up to the age of six, the offspring of the family receives their meal free of charge.
