University catering

Since June 2025, we have been labeling particularly climate-friendly dishes in our cafeterias with the KlimaTeller logo. This helps us create greater transparency and enables customers to make informed choices about climate-friendly eating.

We offer the Zero-Waste Plate at the University campus dining hall (Mensa) and the Neustadtswall dining hall (Mensa). Shortly after regular closing time, leftover meals and ingredients are offered at reduced prices.

In our cafeterias, unsold baked goods and snacks can be saved shortly after closing time using the“Too Good To Go” app. In addition to these consumer-focused initiatives, we also rely on demand-driven production and processing to prevent food waste. We use state-of-the-art equipment that offers energy savings of up to 40% compared to conventional equipment.

Our cafeterias are certified organic [DE-ÖKO-039] and use:

• 100 % Fair Trade organic coffee, organic tea, and organic cocoa
• 100 % organic apples, organic bananas, and organic pears
• 100 % organic milk and organic dairy products (quark, yogurt, cream)
• 100 % organic soft-serve ice cream ( University campus dining hall (Mensa))
• 100 % organic durum wheat semolina, 100% organic spelt flour, and 100% organic beet juice for the production of our homemade organic pasta at the PastaWerk (University campus dining hall (Mensa))
• Preference given to regionally produced foods

In addition, we prioritize the use of locally sourced food and reusable packaging for meals in our cafeterias.
