Good-to-know!
Here are a few practical links for you:

To find out what’s for lunch:

ensa-ehrenberg.html#speisepl

There are several good links on this page:

Also, you might not know how certain things are done in
Germany:

Germans usually separate their garbage into 5
categories.
There are trash containers for these types of garbage:
Paper (blue trash container)
Plastics and packaging (yellow trash container)
Glass (three different colors)
Compost (biodegradable, “Bio-Müll”, brown container)
Whatever else needs to be thrown away (Restmüll, grey
trash container)

German telephone numbers work like this:
Say, for example, you want to call the RTG secretary:
 If you are on campus, call: 1503 (the extension)
If you are in Ilmenau, call: 69-1503
If you are outside of Ilmenau (but in Germany), call:
03677 69-1503
If you are outside of Germany, call:
+49 3677 69-1503
At the university and in most companies: If you dial
a “zero” instead of the extension (in our example:
69-0), you will arrive at the front desk.
Please note the position of the “zero” for the city
prefixes: 03677 is the city prefix for Ilmenau when
calling from within Germany.
 Here is a good explanation as well:
