Public transport

What you can do with your ticket and what not. So you have got your ticket (Semester Ticket, Deutschland Ticket), but what can you do with this ticket?It is quite easy: Allowed types of public transport With your ticket, you are allowed to use any kind of regional transportSo those are:– regional trains (RB, RE, S-Bahn, U-Bahn, Metro, Trams)– regional busses (all busses except private bus companies (e.g. FlixBus)– regional ferries [!] Trains like IC, ICE, EC, ECE and international trains (like the polish ones) are NOT regional trains. (FEX for Berlin Airport can be used with regional tickets).Those count as speed or international trains, and you always need to buy a ticket for them. Where the ticket is valid The Semester Ticket is valid for regional transport within the VBB network.VBB means Verbund Berlin Brandenburg, any ticket that you get for VBB is valid in all of Berlin and Brandenburg. The Deutschland Ticket is valid in all of Germany for regional transport. Both the Semester Ticket and the Deutschland Ticket are valid every time, including weekends and holidays. These are the tickets that you usually get through the university, tho, if you get tickets other than for VBB or for all of Germany, you have to be careful:There are tickets for:State (Berlin Brandenburg)Province (e.g. Märkisch-Oderland, Landkreis Oder/Spree)City (e.g. Frankfurt (Oder) But for cities there are often different zones, like the zones A, B and C.If you have a ticket for a specific zone in a city, you can only travel within that zone.So you have to look up what the zone means, as example, zone A can mean in the city centre, while zone C means only on the outer edge of the city. If you are unsure about your ticket, you can always ask the train conductors or at a service point.Be careful and make sure that you always use a valid ticket, or else, you might get a 60€ fine and have to deboard the train immediatly. Safe travel!

Moving in

How to reach Muhlenweg from Airport BER So, you have reached Germany but you face a problem.Ofcourse, a different country, everyone speaks a different language, and only the fewest people actually “speak” english. So maybe this gives you some heads up.(If you need help with navigating train stations, read at the end of the page) Starting from BER, head down to the train station (lowest part of BER)From there, find a train towards OstkreuzUsually it will be Fex19838 showing Berlin Hauptbahnhof (FEX number may vary), from track 1Or RE8.Once you have boarded the train, get down at Ostkreuz. From Ostkreuz, you will need to take RE1 to Frankfurt (Oder) (also sometimes showing Eisenhüttenstadt).It usually comes to track 1.The RE1 also comes to: Berlin Charlottenburg, Berlin Zoologischer Garten, Berlin Hauptbahnhof (Central Train Station), Berlin Friedrichstraße, Berlin Alexanderplatz, Ostkreuz, Erkner and goes to Frankfurt (Oder) via Fangschleuse, Hangelsberg, Fürstenwalde and Jacobsdorf.So if you are at any of these stops (S3 will also take you to Erkner), you can take RE1 from there.Once you managed to board the RE1 train, get down at Frankfurt (Oder), Bahnhof. Nearly there, just one more ride!So, now you have reached Frankfurt (Oder).Walk out of the train station building, you will be greeted by some seating benches and bus stops.Once you are there, proceed to walk towards the traffic intersection (traffic lights).You should now be able to see the tram stop. (There is also one when you walk under the bridge)From there, wait for Tram 1 or Tram 4 towards NeuberesinchenOnce you boarded the tram, make sure to get down at Neuberesinchen (not Mühlenweg), and you’ll be able to see the student dorm. If you are coming late at night, there might not be trams running anymore.In that case, when you walk out of the train station building, find and board the bus N2 from the nearest bus stop.The bus ride will take some time (going to Südring and all), but will eventually reach Neuberesinchen. Make sure to get down at Neuberesinchen and not Neuberesinchen, Bahnhof (Our stop will come after it goes to Betriebshof SVF) If you are coming towards the late evening, you might have to take a tram that goes to Betriebshof SFV (you can take any tram with any number showing the stop Betriebshof SVF).Those are usually the trams that head for final parking, so they head back to their parking space, which is closeby to us fortunately.Once you reached Betriebshof SVF, you will see a gas fuel station, walk towards that.Then follow down the road to the right, until you will reach the end of the road.There, head left and keep walking.The student dorm will be on the left. Navigating train stations So you are in a train station, but there is no one to ask and you don’t know how to navigate.But its not as hard, as it seems.The rule is simple: Blue signs show you where to go. You will usually find blue signs at stairs or on the walls, they are quite big and hard to oversee.Once you know, which track your train goes to (via Google Maps, DB Navigator, VBB Bus und Bahn or the train schedule list), locate one of the blue signs. The sign will show the track numbers and arrows pointing to the direction of where you find them.Follow the arrows until you find the right track.To make sure, that you are standing on the right side at the tracks, you will usually see the track number beneath the screen showing the train arrivals. If you struggle to navigate the train station, often there are service points (marked by an i or by a DB logo), you can always go there to ask them for help. In train stations, you will usually find a very large screen with many trains listed.You can find your train by the time, by the train number (e.g RE1) and by the destination(s) listed.Then look to the right (end) of that entry, this is where you will find the track number. In Frankfurt (Oder), you will only find the schedule for the actual trains inside the train station building.If you want to see when the tram or bus comes, you will find a screen near the benches in front of the train station building. Ticketing Riding trains, trams and busses in Germany is not for free obviously.But its not as hard as it seems to get tickets.You will find red automats at the train station, often showing VBB on it, here you can buy tickets.Select your destination, then choose singular ticket (Einzelticket) and select the correct train.You can pay with both cash (coins) and credit card. Please make sure to stamp the ticket while entering the train, as it won’t be valid if you don’t do so! You can also buy tickets using the app.For that, download the DB Navigator app, type your station (BER Terminal 1-2) and your destination (Frankfurt (Oder), Neuberesinchen) and the DB Navigator app will show you the route and give you the option to buy the tickets. If you are unable to get a ticket, you will also be able to buy a ticket from the train conductors.But you should approach them as early as possible, or else you might be fined for riding a train without a ticket (60€) In Frankfurt (Oder), you will find a ticket automat inside the tram (towards the center of the tram).You can buy a singular ticket (Einzelfahrt ticket) there aswell. Both coins and credit card are accepted. Tho buying singular tickets is not always cheaper if you are taking that many trains and can be quite confusing.So if you are not sure about that, you can also get the following ticket:Select VBB Gesamtnetz -> 24H Ticket (or 24-Stunden Ticket).This ticket will be valid for 24 hours in all of Berlin and Brandenburg, which means you don’t need to buy a ticket for the rest of the ride.You do not need to stamp this ticket, as its valid from

Washing Machine Booking

Sooner or later after you’ve moved in and made yourself comfortable, or want to be comfortable, you reach a point at which you have to wash your clothes.Luckily there are washing machines located in the basements of 35, 35A, 36 and 36A.Anyone here can use these washing machines, but to avoid conflicts, there is a booking system. The Booking system On top of the washing machine (or dryer), you will find a sheet of paper.This sheet of paper is divided by days and hours.Find the day that you want to wash your clothes on at the top, and then go down until you find a free washing slot. If you have found a free washing slot, you book it, by putting your apartment number.The format for that is as follows: Building/Apartment (example: 35a/400)By writing this, everyone knows that the slots have been booked, and they know how they can reach out to you if you forget to remove your clothes. Automaticly, by claiming a slot, you also claim the dryer on the following hour. I always recommend you to leave a bag on the washing machine (or dryer), so that the next person can put your clothes if you are unable to come in time. If you want to try it out, we have a concept site for online booking, which represents the analog version.Feel free to try out how to book the slots on this site, as its there to showcase digital booking and does not have any actual effect. I don’t have a washing machine in my building! Don’t worry:The buildings 34 and 34A do not have washing machines, so they have to use the washing machines of another building.There is no rule for which washing machine you have to use, as long as the slot is not booked, you are free to use it. Why do some people, especially of 34, claim so many slots? The building of 34 has flats for families, which is the reason of why they might need more washing slots than others. The dryer’s time does not change or is extremly long, my clothes don’t get dry! This can happen if the air vents of the dryer are not cleaned before and after using.Always make sure to clear the air vents before and after using, to ensure that your clothes can get dry.Sometimes the dryer can also be broken, in that case it should be reported to the Hausmeister and a different dryer should be used in the meantime. Where should I put the detergent powder and the fabric softener? Simple, the powder usually always goes to the left, and the fabric softener to the middle.Often you will see a 2 (or “II”) for where the powder goes, and a flower where the fabric softener goes. What washing mode should I choose? Washing at 40° (Buntwäsche) should work just fine, the washing time should be around 45 minutes. Help! The door does not open! When the washing finishes, many people turn off the washing machine and are then unable to open the door.This is a funny little mistake, that can be solved easily by turning the washing machine on. There is a lot of water in the detergent powder inlet, what should I do? This is not a problem, simply pour the water into the drain. After putting the detergent powder, the washing machine fills it with water to make it flow in. After washing, there will always be some water left. If there is an urgent problem that you are not able to solve by yourself (e.g. clothes stuck in the washing machine), contact the Hausmeister by the emergency number (check out Infopoint/Hausmeister)

Bürgerbüro The Bürgerbüro (Citizens Office) is a very important place.This is where you go when you want to do anything related to moving, or anything related to your residence permit.If you move to a new place or want to extend your visa or if your ID expires (and many other reasons), you have to make an appointment at the Citizens Office to get that info updated. If you do not update these details, you can get into trouble. Please look up or ask someone, in what cases you have to visit the Citizen Office. Biedronka If you have to do groceries, its worth the time to visit Biedronka.Biedronka, located in Slubice, is a supermarket.Ofcourse, we also have supermarkets in Germany, but there are a few key advantages of going to Biedronka, such as:– a lot cheaper– fruits and vegetables are fresh and not packed for long storage– self checkoutDoing groceries in Biedronka is a lot cheaper (because of inflation and tax rate in Germany), and usually the stuff is much fresher, as in Poland they do not pack the food for long term storage. Other than that, there are many nice things that you can find in Biedronka, which you won’t be able to find here (like different snacks).So Biedronka is a place that you should definetly check out when its time to do groceries!

Salon fryzjerski “Volume”. Magdalena Lichwa Salon fryzjerski Volume is a hair salon in Slubice.Compared to cutting hair in poland, its quite expensive here in Germany.This is one amongst a few other hair salons in slubice where you can go to cut your hair.They are friendly and its not overpriced.So maybe pay them a visit, but there are also a few other hair salons in Slubice. REPO-Markt Frankfurt (Oder) – Rest- und Sonderposten GmbH Repo, right next to our student dorm, is a store where you can find a lot of different things including toys, furniture, renovation equipment, stuff for gardening lovers and a variety of snacks and 5L water bottles.Repo, meaning Restposten (returned shipments) is a place where you can find many interesting things for a cheap price.So if you are planning to go for a walk, maybe count in Repo as one of the destinations. Solarberg Solarberg, just located right behind our dorm, is the perfect viewing spot.It is easy to access and you can see the whole city from there.Not only will you have an amazing view over our student dorm and the whole city, but if you visit it at the right time, when its foggy, it looks like you are above the cloud.So when you wake up on a early morning, maybe head out there and enjoy a beautiful sunrise over the city! To access Solarberg, walk to the corner of the garden of our student dorm (behind 35A), and you will find a open spot in the fence.Once you went there, just head left and follow the trace, sticking to the right.You will end up walking in a circle until you are greeted by the view! HEP and Südring Center HEP and Südring Center are two shopping centers that are nearby.In these you can find normal grocerie stores (like REWE), but also DM (for body care stuff) and Tedi, which is like a dollar store. So if you are looking for some small cheap stuff, maybe check one of those out. Netto Netto being the closest supermarket to our student dorm, is also one of the cheapest stores here in Germany. They also offer fresh vegetables and always have something that you might like.So if you don’t have the time to go to Poland, or if its just

Internet

How to set it up, how it works and troubleshooting So you have moved in into your apartment and want to relax – but you don’t have internet.In this post I will cover a few things ranging from how to connect to the internet, how you can change your router’s settings and how the network works (and why its so slow). Precausions – what you will need In order to connect to the internet, you just need three things:– a router– an ethernet cable– any device capable of browsing the web Since the student dorm already offers an internet connection, you just need a simple router that does not have an integrated modem. Even tho any router should work (including routers with integrated DSL, Cable or Fibre modems), a simple “WiFi Router” will do the job and is preferred as it’s cheaper.Most commonly you can find the following routers:– TP-LINK TL-WR841N 300Mbits WLAN Router– TP-Link N450 WiFi Router Most students sell their routers in the group. About the ethernet cable, any cable should work but if you need to buy one, Cat5 will be more than enough for the internet speed provided in the student dorm.[!] Caution: Do not mistake a telephone cable for an ethernet cable You can use any device (that is capable of connecting to the wifi or has an ethernet plug and is capable of browsing the internet) to set up the router.But it is easier to use a laptop connected to the router using a network cable, as you don’t need to log in to the WiFi. (If you do not plan to change the WiFi password or name, you can connect to the wifi right away.) Setting it up Once you have organized a router, an ethernet cable, and a device, the process is not as complicated as it seems.Depending on the router, it is as simple as plugging the router in with power and the ethernet connection. 1) Reset: Before using the router, you should always reset it in order to remove changed or set passwords and usage data. This is recommended, as you remove any unwanted restrictions.To reset your router, you will usually find a pinhole or button on the router.Usually the button will be called “WPS/RST”.Press the pinhole or the button for about 15 seconds (the LEDs should blink)Your router will now reset and restart. 2) Connecting: Connect the router with powerNow, locate the correct plug on the router for the ethernet cable.The port for the ethernet cable is usually a blue port saying “Internet” on it.If such a port is not there, look for a port that says “WAN” on it (usually port 4).If you cannot find a WAN port aswell, try port 4 and then port 1. Now you need to connect your device to the router in order to continue.Look on the back of the router if you can find the WiFi name (also called SSID) and the password, and connect to the WiFi.If you cannot find the WiFi, try to look for a public WiFi or any WiFi with your router’s manufacturer’s name. (Make sure not to connect to someone else’s unprotected WiFi)If you are unable to find any WiFi, you’ll need to connect your router to a computer using the ethernet cable (you can continue the setup without the ethernet cable being plugged into the wall and move on at step 4 to configure the WiFi) 3) Setup Once you are connected to the router, you can see if you can access the internet.If you are unable to connect to the internet, you may have to configure the router so that it understands that it needs to get the internet from an existing connection. Before going further, first, try to plug the router into the other ethernet plug on the wall (usually there are two plugs in your apartment, of which one does often not work). If this did not solve the issue, try to follow these steps: Check the back of your router for a address (like http://website.name or 192.168.0.1) If you are unable to find one, open the WiFi (or network) settings on your device and find the router’s IP-Address (also often called “Gateway”)If you are still unable to find the router’s address, try the following addresses:– 192.168.0.1– 192.168.1.1– 192.168.0.2– 192.168.1.2– 192.168.178.1 Now open your web browser and enter the router’s IP-Address or URL (you may need to type http:// followed by the address to prevent to open a web search) Now, you should be greeted by your router’s login page.Either you will be asked to set a login password or you will be asked to enter an existing password.Depending on your router’s manufacturer, the default login credentials may be printed on the back of your router.If that is not the case, usually the username is “admin” and the password is “admin” or “1234”You may need to google for your router’s login details. (Make sure you have reset the router) Once you have successfully logged in, you can configure the router correctly.Depending on the router, the setup is a bit different, but most often you will find the needed settings under “Quick Setup” or “Internet” Once you find it, set the following options if asked:Type: WiFi Router (not access point or switch)Connection: Ethernet, WAN, Modem (one of these)Type: dynamic IP address (may be called DHCP assigned)Country: Germany (important for WiFi range) The dynamic IP means that the router gets its IP from the student dorm (this is important)You might need to click a button for auto-assigning a dynamic IP.If can see any obtained IP Address, you know that the connection was successful if it starts with 10.x.x.x (or simaliar) but it should not be 0.0.0.0 (this means no IP was obtained) Et voilà; the internet connection should now work. 4) Changing the WiFi name and password So now you are connected but you want to change your WiFi name and password.This should be quite easy. Locate the WiFi settings (often called Wireless under
