House-hunting in Osnabrück
International visiting professors may stay at the Guesthouse run by the University of Osnabrück. Families with children can also live at the centrally located, Art Nouveau-style building. However, the capacity of the guesthouse is limited: your German host should therefore sign you up as soon as possible. If you do not wish to live in the guesthouse, or if it is overbooked, the management of the guesthouse will help you find private housing. Please contact your host institute to find out if they provide housing assistance. If you are looking for lodgings on your own, you will find advertisements in the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung on Saturdays and Wednesdays. You might also want to consider taking out an ad or hiring a real estate agent to help you.
If you have questions, please contact the guesthouse. The management (Gästehausverwaltung) will be pleased to help you.
If you would like to find temporary housing quickly, you might try Zweitraum Osnabrück. They can help you to find a room which can be rented quickly. They will, however, charge a fee for their services. The amount charged depends upon the length of the lease and the amount of rent you pay. You can find information about hotels on the city of Osnabrück’s internet site.
