on We have received information from our internet provider BelWü that on July 2, 2026, from 8 AM to 6 PM, maintenance work is planned as part of the network expansion at the Hohenheim East and West locations. Although we were not explicitly mentioned, it is possible that there may be an impact on internet availability in the dormitories.
Check the status for that work here: https://www.belwue.de/trouble-tickets/ticket/739.xml
on After yesterday’s outage, we are fixing some smaller problems.
We cannot clearly name the cause of the error yesterday. What is certain is that our batteries should buffer power outages for 30–45 minutes. Instead, they switched on and off many times per second for a very long time until they were exhausted after several hours.
Now the devices need to be replaced.
Without power, our hardware shut down at around 9 p.m., and our network went offline.
Until about 1 a.m. today, work was done on site to fix the problem, and in the end power was brought from another room into the server room.
Work started again at 9 a.m. today. We are setting everything up again and are looking for the cause of the loss of the connection to Reutlingen.
We may update this article if necessary.
Update 3 p.m.: Welcome back Reutlingen and Hechingerstraße!
on At 9:30 PM, our entire network went down.
We are currently investigating the cause. As soon as we have more information, we will update this blog post.
Update:
As of approximately 00:15, everything should be back online. There may still be some issues, so please let us know via the contact form if you experience any problems.
on Hello everyone,
During the course of the evening, we will be replacing switches at Fruwirthstr. 3, 7, and 9, which will cause the internet to be down for approximately one hour at each location.
We will let you know as soon as we are done – everything should be working again by tomorrow morning at the latest!
Update 9:42 p.m.: Fruwirthstr. 3 has already been completed—if you encounter any problems, please report them as soon as possible!
Update 00:28: Fruwirthstr. 7&9 have also been swapped—and we’re back in Tübingen.
So you should all have internet again – and new switches that will last a long time. 🙂
on Due to issues with the connections and an unsuccessful remote diagnosis, we will be visiting you today. We’ll take this opportunity to replace the switch with a new one and update our posters.
We are still looking for members from Hohenheim, as we currently only have one member there. If you’d like to join, please get in touch via the contact form.
The downtime due to the switch replacement should last about 45 minutes, and it will only affect Fruwirthstraße 5.
If you have any other issues or questions that can only be resolved on-site, now is the best time to let us know via the contact form while we’re already there.
Update: The maintenance is done, a new switch is installed and you should all be back online.
