For public universities in Germany, what is the usual minimum semester fee?

The typical minimum semester fee at public universities in Germany is €150 - €350/semester. This Semesterbeitrag covers administrative costs, student services, and often a public transport pass.

Some federal states charge higher fees for non-EU students, but in most cases, public universities do not have tuition fees - only the semester contribution applies. Fees are subject to change by university and location.
