STUDENT VILLAGE at
ZEBRA KAGEL

from October 2025

The housing situation in Berlin presents major challenges for many students: 200,000 students compete in an overpriced and overloaded housing market. Finding a quiet place to focus on a thesis is especially difficult.

The nonprofit organization FUSION-Intercultural Projects Berlin e.V. offers a solution for mobile individuals who love nature:

Das ZEBRA KAGEL, just 45 km from Berlin, is easily accessible by public transport and surrounded by an idyllic natural setting of forests and lakes. It provides ideal conditions for productive work and a successful degree completion.

  • Excellent transport connections (Bus 429 to Fangschleuse, then RE1 to Berlin, approx. 35 min.)

Living & Working Spaces

  • Single rooms (20 m²) with bed, sofa, desk, and storage space – intimate, functional, creative

Life in the Student Village
