During major construction work at the Griebnitzsee canteen, canteen operations will be temporarily adjusted. During this time, catering will be ensured through a flexibly organised, adapted offer that adapts to the respective conditions during the construction period.
From July 13 to July 31, 2026, the following opening hours apply during the construction period: 08:00 AM to 03:00 PM, with meal service between 11:00 AM and 02:30 PM.
Here's how it works
From July 13 to July 17, 2026: Start of interim catering
Food service will generally continue this week, albeit with a slightly adjusted offer: the canteen will serve one to two hot meals daily, complemented by snacks, rolls and salads. There is also an additional offer in the outdoor area of the canteen. Which dishes are on offer can be found in the menu online or in our app Mensa+.
From August 18 to August 24 2026: Please bring your own container
The food offer will remain the same this week. However, since no dishwashing facilities are available on site, only disposable dishes and wooden cutlery will be used. Bringing your own dishes or reusable containers is therefore requested. The Relevo reusable system can also be used during this time. Relevo containers can be borrowed and returned on site. This makes meal service easier on site and, at the same time, helps reduce disposable packaging. Download the Relevo app.
Please note: During this period, some construction noise may occur in the canteen.
From 3 August 2026: Adjusted opening hours during the lecture-free period
The opening hours of the canteen will be slightly adjusted during the lecture-free period (8:00 AM to 2:30 PM). Meals will be served between 11:00 AM and 2:00 PM. There will continue to be at least two hot meals available, as well as snacks, rolls and salads. Regular operations at the Griebnitzsee canteen are expected to resume from October. As this is a major construction project, short-term changes may occur. We will keep you updated.
