The corona pandemic demands incisive restrictions from us – but we seek and find creative solutions for everyday work, for studies, teaching and research, and for personal exchange through digital networking. On this website you will find stimulating information about the diverse activities on campus, as well as important current regulations and binding information. Keep checking back, because in these dynamic times, decisions are constantly being reviewed and adjusted where necessary. This website is updated on a regular basis.

  • Could you be infected or are you infected with COVID-19? If so, please inform our TU support team immediately by email: . You can contact the support team even on weekends and public holidays in case of questions about corona/COVID-19. Team members will give advice based on the current specifications and recommendations of the Robert Koch Institute and the Gesundheitsamt (local health department) on how best to proceed.
  • If you are currently or have been in direct contact with an infected person, for instance in your household, you are deemed a “1st degree contact person”. In this case, you must stay at home and keep your distance from other people.
  • Testing at medical facilities or testing centres is only conclusive five days after contact with an infected person. Should your time of contact be less than five days ago: Stay at home even if you test negative! The support team () will assist you in case of questions.
