  • Please note that we can only issue the school office confirmation at the beginning of the school year from 1 August.

  • If you receive citizen's allowance (SGB II), assistance towards living expenses (SGB XII), benefits under the Asylum Seekers Benefits Act (AsylbLG) or housing benefit (WoGG) for your child, you can order the Hessen WI15 student ticket for just 10 euros per month. Proof in the form of the Hessenpass mobil letter is sufficient. This is valid as authorisation to receive the discount on the purchase. Please submit a copy of this authorisation with your order.

  • The Hesse Student Ticket can be used by all students and trainees whose place of residence and/or school or place of training is in Hesse. If both your place of residence and your place of school or training are in the Mainz city area, you are unfortunately not eligible for the Hesse Student Ticket. To compensate for this, however, you can also purchase a CleverCard after 1 August 2017. It will continue to be available for you at all ESWE Verkehr and MVG (Mainzer Verkehrsgesellschaft) sales outlets under the same conditions as before.
