Lautern has a lively city center and a great pub culture, especially in the old town. But if you're looking for wild parties, big dance floors and the real beat of the city, the legendary campus parties at RPTU are the place to be. It's easy to forget everyday university life here. Dance with friends, meet new people and enjoy life - always with a cold drink in your hand and good music in your ears.

Large and small parties are held on campus every Thursday throughout the year. But the parties that you definitely shouldn't miss, because everyone will be talking about them the next day, are on this bucket list for their uniqueness and sheer size, and quite rightly so: The Big Five.

Maschfasch (February) - indoor

THE carnival party in Lautern, where costumes are compulsory! Every year, the Mechanical Engineering department's party has a different theme. So, get creative and start crafting - it's worth it, because there's even a prize in the costume competition

Would you rather spend the day relaxing with your fellow students on campus in the beer garden, eating and drinking comfortably, watching a gladiator game (or even taking part yourself) and spontaneously deciding to party? Then the Maifete is perfect for you:
