HVV Deutschlandticket

All information on your KLU semester ticket/Deutschlandticket

As a student at KLU you will receive a HVV semester ticket for public transportation. This semester ticket is an additional benefit provided by KLU and is not included in your tuition fees. The ticket is provided to KLU students at no extra cost, offering an added value of approximately €384 per year.

With the HVV semester ticket you are able to make use of all public transportation in greater Hamburg and across Germany. HVV stands for Öffentlicher Hamburger Verkehrsverbund GmbH & Co. and means Hamburg public transportation corporation.

The Deutschlandticket is digital and valid nationwide. It can be used for unlimited travel on all regional trains such as RB, RE, and S-Bahn, as well as on public transportation services like buses, trams, and subways in participating states, transit associations, and transport companies, according to their respective conditions and coverage areas.

This offer is valid as long the Deutschlandticket exists, for now until fall 2024/25. We hope that the political discourse will support the Deutschandticket indefinitely.
