Summer mixer 10 July from 6pm on POT-lawn

Jasper Mörchen

It’s almost time again: on 10 July 2024, we will be organising our faculty’s summer party, as in previous years. From 6 pm, you can chat, celebrate and network with fellow students and faculty staff on the POT meadow.

Food and drink will also be provided this time. There will be delicious vegetarian, vegan and meaty dishes from the grill, as well as various homemade salads, cakes and other snacks at reasonable prices. There will also be chilled drinks with and without alcohol (draught beer €2.00, draught soda and lemonade €1.50) and, for the first time this year, wine. An ice cream van will also be available.

Please bring your own plates and crockery to avoid unnecessary waste. However, if you have forgotten your crockery, you can also get disposable crockery in small quantities for an extra charge.

Our cunning associations Spätverkehr, Euroavia and die verkehrte Welt will also be represented again with stands, where you can expect an extended range of drinks and games. The Dresden band 80cmBrett will also be playing on site.

Further information about the summer festival can be found here on our event page.

We look forward to seeing you there in large numbers and to a great evening with you!

Paddle boat regatta on 13.07.

Jannis Raabe

It’s summer time, which means it’s time again for the annual paddle boat regatta.

After all, what could be better than escaping the summer heat with a relaxing rubber boat tour on the Elbe?

Even though it’s called a regatta, it’s supposed to be a fun event, not a sporting one.

Participation fee is €12, paddle and life jacket included.

The meeting point is on Saturday, 13th of July, at 09:30am under the glass dome at the main station. We will take the train to Königsstein and start there our paddle boat trip down the Elbe to Obervogelgesang.

The tour will last until 4-5pm, so remember to bring something to drink.

You can register via OPAL at https://bildungsportal.sachsen.de/opal/auth/RepositoryEntry/28489023488/CourseNode/1716863397859293004?7

We look forward to seeing you!

Large-scale demonstration for democracy on June 08

Jakob Eichholz

We democrats still stand together – and we’ll see each other on Saturday, June 8, 2024, at 3 pm on Dresden’s Theaterplatz! 

The aim of the demonstration is to set a strong civic signal on the eve of the European as well as local elections, and to call on people to go out to vote for democratic parties. The event is embedded in dozens of other demonstrations that will take place nationwide from May 23 to June 8.  We need your energy for this – especially here in Saxony, where, in addition to representatives of the EU Parliament, the Dresden City Council, local councils (German: Ortschaftsräte) and district councils (Stadtbezirksbeiräte) will also be elected! Together we are the firewall. It depends on each and every one of us! 

There will be a diverse stage program at the demonstration: Speeches and live music from local as well as nationally known initiatives and celebrities – among others, the Dresden-based band 01099 will be performing. Stay tuned for more information about the program – check out the channels of @wirsinddiebrandmauer_dresden and on their website https://wir-sind-die-brandmauer-dresden.org/ 

We look forward to setting an example with you!
