Current information

As non-public facilities our Mensas and Cafeterias are still exempted from the 3-G rule, 2G- rule and the 2Gplus rule, in accordance with the Sächsische Corona-Notfall-Verordnung. The minimum distance of 1.5 metres should again be maintained to all persons. Our current Covid-19 protection measures will therefore remain in place as before: wearing an FFP2 or a comparable mask, recording of contacts, distance rules, and payment by Mensa card only (no payment by cash). Read more on the measures further down on this page.

All facilities are open again for on-site consumption and for the sale of take-out food and beverages.

Due to the current situation, occasional closures may occur. You can find more information about the latest opening hours and possible changes on the pages of each facility:
