Lucy-Hillebrand-Str. 4

a) by public transport

The fastest way to get from the main station to the “K3” residential complex is to take tram line 51 (towards Marienborn Wiesenstraße) or 53 (towards Lerchenberg/Hindemithstraße) and get off at the “Jakob-Heinz-Straße/Arena” stop. The stop is right next to the “K3” residential complex.

Alternatively, you can take bus line 630 (towards Partenheim) and get off at the “Hochschule Mainz/Campusbrücke” stop. Then just go up the stairs and walk a few metres straight ahead. The guest apartments are located in the last building (orange) on the left-hand side.

b) by car // Parking spaces
You can drive onto the grounds of the residence hall without a special permit. There are sufficient parking spaces available at the university next to the residence hall.

Please note, however, that you will not be able to drive your car onto the university or MPI grounds.

The flats can be rented from 3 days - 3 months.
An extension of the rental period is usually not possible. Possible exceptions must be checked individually.

You are responsible for disposing of your own household waste. Please empty your bins regularly to prevent odours and vermin.

The waste disposal containers are located in the green fenced-off area next to the canteen. You will receive the key to access the waste disposal area when you collect your apartment key from the reception desk at your MPI.

Please note that in Germany, waste must be separated as follows:
- Residual waste (e.g. hygiene products)
- Plastic (packaging, film, etc.)
- Paper/cardboard
- Organic waste (kitchen waste, food scraps, fruit, vegetables)
- Glass

You will receive the mailbox key togther with the apartment key  at the reception of your MPI.
You are welcome to put your name on the letterbox.
Please always include your full name and flat number when providing your address for mail delivery.

If you wish to have mail delivered that does not fit in the mailbox....
a) ...please make sure that someone is at home to receive the mail.
b) ...use a parcel shop, packing station or post office branch as the recipient address (instead of the guest house address).

If the postal delivery person does not meet you, he/she may leave the parcel with a neighbour or take it to the nearest post office.
Please note that neither the caretaker nor the guest house administration can accept parcels. We are also unable to help you locate lost items.
