Gender-neutral toilets
General information
The Diversity Office has set itself the goal of compiling a list of gender-neutral toilets at the University of Tübingen that are equally accessible to staff and students. But we need your help. Please tell us if you know about another gender-neutral toilet on the premises of the University of Tübingen. Thank you!

Changing name and civil status for students
Students who wish to change their given name under the Transsexuellengesetz (TSG) or their civil status in accordance with Section 45b Personenstandsgesetz (PStG) can, in the following circumstances, apply for immediate change of name and civil status in the university’s registration system.
Student Administration is responsible for the change of given name and civil status.

Telephone: +49 (0) 7071-29-74444
There are two ways of applying to change your given name and civil status.
Option A: DGTI pass
The DGTI pass is a supplemental form of ID. You can apply for one directly from the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Transidentität und Intersexualität e.V. (DGTI). It contains all the chosen personal data and a current ID photo. It is intended to enable people who have not officially changed their given name to present a recognized document that identifies them with their chosen name and gender.
Please send the DGTI pass by e-mail to Student Administration.
Please also include the application form for a replacement student pass together with an ID photo so that we can issue a new student pass.
Option B: Local court and registry
Alternatively, you can change your name if you have already applied to have your given name changed at a local court (“TSG-Verfahren”) or made a declaration on your gender at the registry and the appropriate documents can be shown (procedure in accordance with Section 45b PStG).
In both cases:
Once Student Administration has recorded your change of given name please also contact the IT Center (ZDV) so that your student e-mail address can be updated. You can do this simply by sending an e-mail.
Send an e-mail to the IT Center
As soon as your change of given name has been noted on your personal ID card, please send it immediately by e-mail to the Student Department.
N.B.:
Updating existing documents (certificates): retroactively revising documents is only possible once a new personal ID card has been applied for. You can do this after receiving either a positive decision on change of name from the local court or a new birth certificate/issue of a change of name certificate from the registry.
Issuing diplomas: diplomas can only be issued in the new name if a new personal ID card has been applied for, after receiving either a positive decision on change of name from the local court or a new birth certificate/issue of a change of name certificate from the registry.
The relevant Examinations Office is responsible for issuing certificates.
In conclusion:
Please always contact the Diversity Office if you need additional support.
