Here you will find the current sports program for the summer semester 2024 with a varied range of online, outdoor and indoor courses.
The administration building will be closed from Fridays to Sundays due to energy-saving measures. The outdoor facilities will be open and usable from 07:00 on Fridays and 09:00 on Saturdays and Sundays via the Beethovenstraße entrance. Showers and changing rooms are only available in the Beethovenstraße sports hall on these days.
Preparation for the summer season as of 08.03.2024:
The natural grass, tennis and beach courts are currently still in hibernation and may not be entered! You can use the areas marked in green. You will need the outdoor sports card to use the outdoor sports facilities.
Updates on the status of court preparation will be communicated here as soon as things get underway.
Anyone who is still looking for a dance partner or doesn't know exactly which course is right for them is in the right place at "Kontakttanzen"! You can find out more about the courses from the trainers on site. See you on Sunday, June 30, 2024, from 7:30-9:00 p.m. at the gymnastics hall Rebenring.
As part of the Diversity Days, the Diversity Cup took place on Thursday, May 30 in cooperation with Lebenshilfe Braunschweig. The rainy weather did nothing to dampen the commitment of almost 30 participants - they played on our beach volleyball courts anyway. Winning was only a minor matter, as the main focus was on having fun throughout the entire event.
Our campus run is back again this year, now in its 14th round! In summery weather, around 500 participants ran either the 5 km fun run or the 10 km main run across the university grounds.
Some participants were seen in creative costumes: a group of 31 people in shirts and ties, a group in judo suits and even someone in an inflatable squeaky green dinosaur costume stood out from the crowd. Overall, there was a colorful mix on site, as people from every age group were represented at the run. The participants had one thing in common: They were all highly motivated and had just one goal in mind.
All 500 runners set off from the starting point on the Franz-Liszt-Straße sports field and ran along Beethovenstraße, the Nordcampus site and Ottenroderstraße back to the finish line, where the winner's podium awaited them.
“It was a very successful morning for athletes and spectators alike,” said a delighted Florian Schneider, organizer of the campus run, “many new and familiar faces put in great performances!”
After a good quarter of an hour, the first athletes crossed the finish line. Impressive performances that were honored with trophies and medals at the winners' ceremony.
This year's winners of the campus run are Fabian Hartig (15:42 min), Sebastian Radecker (16:32 min) and Jonas Franzki (16:38 min) in the men's 5 km race and Jessica Lilienthal (20:48 min), Silke Schitteck (21:46 min) and Katja Tüting (22:02 min) in the women's race.
The 10 km winners - Nick Schierding (32:35 min), Nicolas Rohde (34:21 min), Henry Brauns (35:21 min) for the men and Lara Jüschke (47:17 min), Jessica Halfen (49:46 min) and Lena Strube (50:36 min) for the women - impressed with their fabulous times. A highlight was the award ceremony with trophies for the 1st to 3rd place finishers, as well as for the three best teams (Prinzenpark parkrun, Unischwimmen Braunschweig and Eintracht Wintersport) and the largest team with 31 people (Die LG Saufhemden).
“It was another great event all round,” said a delighted Mathias Steiln, Head of the University Sports Center. “The entire team at the University Sports Center has once again put on an excellent event!”

Technically challenging routes, an exciting race and lots of mud! Henry Brauns (center) from TU Braunschweig was also there: "You have to be particularly careful in the places where the mud has already been driven away and the slippery roots appear."
Despite starting from the back row, he took the lead of the field with an impressive performance. In the end, he secured the title of German University Champion in the final. Congratulations to him!
