Even More Sport at KLU

In addition to the Hochschulsport Hamburg, we occasionally organize our own events or sports activities, such as boat trips on the beautiful Alster River with our own dragon boat or participation in tournaments in various sport (including university championships). Feel free to also visit our on-campus gym! Do you have your own ideas for sport activities? Awesome! We're excited about student initiatives for sports activities and are here to support them.
