Looking for a new place to study, meet friends, or take a break between classes? HAW Kiel’s newest space, Lerndock 23, brings it all together — and might just become your new go-to spot on campus.

A New Kind of Study Environment

Lerndock 23 isn’t just another study building. It seems to be built to match how students work today. Whether you want to focus quietly, meet with your group, or just change your environment for a while, you’ll find a suitable spot here.

The open and modern design makes it easy to move between different areas depending on your mood and task.

Where to Go Inside Lerndock 23

Quiet Study & Library Area

If you need full concentration, the library section is the place to be. It offers a calm atmosphere, structured seating, and access to academic resources — perfect for deep focus sessions.

Group Work & Collaboration Spaces

Working on a project with others? Lerndock 23 includes spaces specifically designed for group work. These areas allow you to discuss ideas, collaborate, and work more dynamically than in traditional study rooms.

Cafeteria & Break Area

Right inside the building, you’ll find a cafeteria “Café Boje23“ where you can grab coffee, snacks, or a full meal. It’s also a great place to take a break or have more relaxed conversations with friends between study sessions.

Flexible Seating & Open Spaces

One of the biggest advantages of Lerndock 23 is its variety of seating options. From classic desks to more comfortable lounge-style areas, you can choose how and where you want to study. A special feature is the seating built directly into the staircase. On the left side of the stairs, some of the steps are fitted with padded seating elements, turning them into a casual place to sit.

Why It Stands Out

What makes Lerndock 23 special is how everything is combined in one place. You don’t have to switch buildings to go from focused studying to group work or a coffee break — it’s all just a few steps away.

The modern design, natural flow between spaces, and flexibility make it a perfect spot for everyday student life.
