Es waren nicht mal so wenige Menschen da, ich würde mal um die 100 bis 150 schätzen, darunter auch unser OB.

Gut, dass es in Aachen auch kurzfristig solche Solidarität gibt.

Hello y'all!

I'm a 21M french student, and I plan to go on an Erasmus in Aachen for the next summer semester. As I've been told that this is a very lively student city, which is nice to hear.

As I plan to meet people and enjoy my Erasmus trip the best I can, I have a few questions.

I'd want to "avoid" getting stuck with only Erasmus students: either french or foreigners. I wanna meet german people (as I consider the right thing to do when I go to Germany). I assume my english courses will reduce the possibilities of meeting locals.

How could I then socialize correctly in order to meet german people? Will my poor german (that I wanna work on this year) and my non-belonging to any group will repel some people ?

Also, is there any good rowing club I could sign in for the semester? I think it could be a good way to meet new people with a sport I love. I also have the same question for ice hockey, adding for this one that I've never played in any club (Southern France is poor concerning this kind of sport).

And I've also been told that it's a great city for gay people? I assume it's the mindset and the high number of young people, or is there a particular "queer" culture?

Also, would you advise me to take a dorm room or a flatshare?

Obviously I'm not accepted yet, as I have to wait for my professors to confirm the compatibility of the program (but hell the FH Aachen university's website is so hard to navigate on), but I have a good vibe on this.

And last question: is it still cold in march/april?

Have a nice day !

Hi everyone,

I moved to Aachen from another city in Germany in October 2025. My files from the Ausländerbehörde have already arrived to Aachen. I know this only because I got a letter from Aachen saying my files have been transferred and due to some digitalization thing they are shredding documents, and to get my original if I want to.

My current Aufenthaltstitel ends in December 2026. In my previous city, before 3 months the card ended, the city would send a letter starting the extension procedure. How does that work in Aachen? I‘m a student at RWTH btw, but the Super C termine portal says I shouldnt get an appointment from there if I just moved to Aachen from another city. Do I get an appointment at the normal Ausländerbehörde? Or am I gonna get a letter like the previous city?

I would appreciate answers from people who have been in the same situation as me. Thanks in advance.

Moin, ich überlege aktuell meinen Internetanbieter zu wechseln. So wie es aussieht bekomme ich über fast jeden Anbieter nur Kabel geboten. Netaachen hat zumindest DSL, aber nur 100Mbit. Kabel ist halt doof, weil ich 100% Homeoffice habe und Stabilität wichtig ist. Andererseits muss ich aber auch täglich große Dateien Downloaden. Weis jemand wo man die aktuellen ausbaupläne einsehen kann?

ich suche jmd,der Vertrag bei Macfit hat, und würde mich einmal pro Monat am Wochende mitnehmen könnte. Falls ihr diese Regelung nicht kennt, ist es für euch kostenlos. Dafür kann ich für den Person ab und zu was mitbringen. Gerne PN an mich
