Lost Property Office

• Lost property that can be clearly attributed to the person who lost it:
  
  • The Lost Property Office will write directly to owners of wallets with identification papers or other papers and inform them that their property has been found.
  • Student IDs will be given to the Student Information Center (SIZ) to find the address.
    
    

• Money that is found is paid to the Cashier's Office directly after it has been submitted to the Lost Property Office.

• All other lost property is stored by the Lost Property Office for a total of at least 8 weeks :
  

  • Lost objects that have not been picked up 4 weeks after they were turned in will be listed monthly on
    
    • a notification sheet on the bulletin board next to the Post Room
    • a Kurz gemeldet (internal) for particularly important lost objects
    • regular posts in the Facebook group “Hohenheimer Kleinanzeigen”

  • On the notification, the owners are requested to pick up their belongings within the next 4 weeks (counted from the date the notification is posted).

Lost property may only be handed out to people who can prove without a doubt that they are the owner of the object, that they lost it, or that they are otherwise authorized to pick it up.

There must be a record of the handover.

For objects that are lost in public buildings, there is no right to a finder’s fee.

Money is stored by the Cashier's Office for three years and then transferred to the state budget.

Other lost objects that are not picked up after the storage deadline are donated to a charitable cause.
