It was founded in 2006 through the merger of the Studentenwerke Erfurt-Ilmenau and Jena-Weimar and has been known under its current name since 2016[1].
The main mission of the Studierendenwerk is to offer students in Thuringia optimal living and study conditions. It values comprehensive support that goes beyond purely academic education and focuses on the well-being and social integration of students.

These help to ensure that students in Thuringia find the best possible conditions for their studies and personal growth.
The Studierendenwerk Thüringen works closely with various universities and organizations to offer a wide range of services that make student life easier and richer. Through its membership in the Deutsches Studierendenwerk and in Paritätischen Thüringen, it is integrated into a network of institutions that are committed to the interests of students[3].
