The Studierendenwerk Thüringen will inform you as soon as the details are finalised. However, it is certain that the fees for students at some universities will then change due to altered semester ticket prices.
The Deutschlandticket is a subscription. Information on which trains the Deutschlandticket is valid on, etc. can be found at: https://www.bahn.de/angebot/regio/deutschland-ticket
UPDATE 5: DEUTSCHLANDTICKET: UPGRADE SOLUTION TO THE SEMESTERTICKET WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS IN THURINGIA UNTIL JUNE
UPGRADES VIA DEUTSCHE BAHN DELAYED FOR STUDENTS
09.06.2023
Deutsche Bahn has informed the Studierendenwerk Thüringen that it will not be able to deliver the Upgrade Ticket for students at all Thuringian universities from the 11th of June 2023. According to DB Regio, the date will be postponed by at least 14 days to the 26th of June.
At the request of the Studierendenwerk Thüringen, the transport companies, which have already been able to create an upgrade solution, see no possibility of offering this solution to students at other locations for legal reasons. This means that students in Eisenach, Gera, Ilmenau, Nordhausen and Schmalkalden will probably not have the opportunity to purchase an upgrade ticket until the end of June.
The Studierendenwerk Thüringen regrets the situation and remains on the ball to provide news as soon as possible.

Deutschlandticket: Upgraded solution to the semester ticket will not be available to students in Thuringia until June
26. April 2023
With the start of the Deutschlandticket on May 1st 2023, students in Thuringia do not yet have the upgrade solution that has been announced nationwide. With the semester fee for the summer semester, they have already paid a fixed sum for the rail ticket, and in many university towns also for the public transport and VMT ticket. Therefore, they should actually only pay the difference up to the price of 49 euros for the Deutschlandticket in order to be able to use the Deutschlandticket for themselves. This so-called "upgrade solution" was agreed upon by the conference of transport ministers of the federal and state governments.
In Thuringia, however, this upgrade solution for students will not be available until one month later, in June, at the earliest, according to the latest information from the Thuringian Ministry of Infrastructure and Agriculture. According to the ministry, the reason for the delay is the technical implementation at the local transport companies. The local transport companies are currently still preparing and testing this.
The current status (25.04.2023) of the upgrade solution for the Deutschlandticket for Thuringia is as follows:
The purchase of the upgrade via Deutsche Bahn is in principle possible for students at all university locations, but according to information from DB Regio, it can only be purchased from 11.06.2023. For students at the universities in Eisenach, Ilmenau, Nordhausen and Schmalkalden, this will probably be the only option for upgrading.
Students at the universities in Jena and Weimar also have the option of purchasing the upgrade from the respective public transport company. According to information from the Jena public transport company and the Weimar public utility company, sales should begin by mid-May, possibly sooner, but for tickets valid from June. This is only ever possible for students of the respective universities at the location. Students at the University of Erfurt, for example, cannot buy the upgrade from the Stadtwirtschaft in Weimar.
Information for students at the universities in Erfurt and students at the Gera-Eisenach Cooperative State University at the Gera campus on how to purchase the upgrade from the local public transport company is currently unclear and is expected this week.

The situation, so close to the start of the Deutschlandticket, is of course not satisfactory for students in Thuringia. "It is embarrassing and shameful for Thuringia as a university location that the Free State of Thuringia continues to trail behind other federal states when it comes to providing relief for students," says Jonathan Schäfer, spokesman for the Conference of Thuringian Student Bodies. He adds, "About 48,000 Thuringian students will not be able to use the upgrade solution until a month later than in other states. The Conference of Thuringian Student Bodies expects a timely and concrete proposal from the Free State of Thuringia on how the affected students will be compensated for the financial damage resulting from the delay“.
As soon as the Studierendenwerk Thüringen receives new information, it will communicate it without any delay.
Information about the 9-euro ticket
Students in Thuringia pay a fixed amount per semester for the semester ticket. At the universities in Erfurt, Gera, Jena, Nordhausen and Weimar, this amounts to more than 9 euros per month for rail, public transport and VMT tickets. Students at these universities will therefore be reimbursed a corresponding share via their thoska for the period of validity of the 9-euro ticket (June to August 2022):
University | Reimbursement in Euro |
University and University of Applied Science Erfurt | 57.70 |
Gera-Eisenach Dual University, campus Gera | 17.82 |
Friedrich-Schiller-University und Ernst-Abbe-University of Applied Science Jena | 52.45 |
University of Applied Science Nordhausen | 11.22 |
Bauhaus-University und FRANZ LISZT University of Music Weimar | 29.10 |
Students at the universities in Eisenach, Ilmenau and Schmalkalden pay less than 9 euros per month for semester tickets and, therefore, do not receive a reimbursement.
The reimbursement is possible until September 30th, 2023. All details under https://www.stw-thueringen.de/news/update-5-semesterticket-gilt-als-9-euro-ticket.html (in German).
Further information
The current student ID card (thoska) of the respective university in conjunction with a valid photo ID card is valid as semester ticket. The semester ticket is not transferable, and the transport of further persons is not permitted. The non-use of the semester ticket does not constitute a claim for refund. Unauthorized changes to the entries on the student ID card will invalidate it as a ticket! Students are then considered passengers without a valid ticket. Unauthorized changes include laminated, cut, erased, glued, overwritten and foil-laminated ID cards that cannot be removed. The certificate of enrolment is not recognized as ticket.
When you present your thoska card as a valid student ID card, please check beforehand that the validity of the card is still clearly legible and has not expired. Otherwise, you are considered a passenger without a valid ticket and are obliged to pay € 60. Therefore, please ensure in good time that the validity stamp is renewed in the appropriate thoska offices so that it is clearly legible, undamaged and up-to-date.
Students of the Friedrich Schiller University and the UAS "Ernst Abbe" have to submit their student ID card to the ticket inspectors upon request for the verification of their entitlement to travel. The ticket inspector only reads the eTicket of the student ID card during the control. The validity of the eTicket is displayed electronically. Data on ticket use and personal data of the holder are not stored when a valid ticket is presented.
Should the student ID card (thoska) not be technically readable, the passenger receives a request for proof that he/she is entitled to use local public transport and this document entitles him/her to use local public transport for a period of seven days. When the respective student presents a valid and legible student ID card or a temporary student ID card within this period, the case is closed. Should a valid semester ticket not be presented, the matter is considered as travelling without a valid ticket.
- Exemption from the semester ticket fee
You are entitled to exemption from the semester ticket fee if you complete an internship or the practical part of your thesis outside of Thuringia for at least 21 weeks during the semester (01 April to 30 September or 01 October to 31 March). If you have not yet paid the fee for the semester in question, you may be exempted from paying the semester ticket fee. A copy of the relevant complete internship contract is required as proof (confirmation by the university directly on the application is also acceptable). The exemption is only valid for one semester.
If you do not receive the required proof of an internship in time, you can apply for a refund of the semester ticket fee. Pay the full fee first to avoid late fees when re-registering. - Application for exemption from semester ticket fees
Please submit your application for exemption from paying for your semester ticket using this form. You can submit your application in person to the infopunkt Erfurt of the Studierendenwerk, send it by e-mail to infopunkt-erfurt-fh@stw-thueringen.de or send us the applications with all necessary proofs by post (Studierendenwerk Thüringen, Bereich Erfurt, PF 800243, 99028 Erfurt).
Applications can only be submitted before the start of the administrative semester.
Application deadline: one day before the start of the semester (i.e., by March 31st or September 30th).
When applying, the fees for the rail ticket can be refunded to:
- students with disabilities who are entitled to transportation according to the law for severely disabled persons in Volume IX of the German Social Security Code (SGB IX); proof is required;
- students who are on leave of absence (Attention: The entire semester fee is refunded.),
- students who can prove that they stay outside Thuringia for at least 21 weeks for study-related organisational reasons, e.g., for writing their final theses, a study-related stay abroad or an internship semester.
According to the fee regulations of the Studierendenwerk, applications must be submitted to the Studierendenwerk at least one day before the beginning of the semester. Please use the Application form for the reimbursement of the Studierendenwerk fee.
