Why does the fee rise by 18 euros?
According to the AStA report, the increase is due to the Germany Semester Ticket. The amount is therefore 18 euros above the summer semester 2026. This difference shows that the ticket makes up a large part of the fee.
For the student services contribution, the official gazette uses its own rule. A draft for the Senate of 30.06.2026 first named a reduction of 18 euros to 112 euros. The official gazette published later, which names 110 euros, is decisive.

An overview of the city is given in Studying in Bremen (in German).
Assumption: a semester has six months. Then the 130.00 euros of the student services organisation come to about 21.67 euros per month. The total of 443.25 euros divided by six comes to about 73.88 euros per month.
