Alumni

During the shared and formative time in dormitories, long-lasting friendships and relationships often develop. This is also the case in our dormitory, which is why we want to promote the contact between alumni and the connection between current residents and alumni. The Alumni Committee consists of active dormitory residents as well as alumni. We manage the alumni list and aim to be the central contact for alumni matters and to support the organization of alumni reunions. At the alumni reunion, former residents and current residents meet in the dormitory.

We aim to hold an alumni reunion with the current residents at least every five years.

Alumni Reunion 2024

From June 14 to 16, the second alumni reunion took place to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the HBS and the 61st anniversary of DEMAG. The event began on Friday evening with a joyful reunion in the Bierkeller and the shared viewing of the opening match of the 2024 European Championship. On Saturday, the festivities continued with good food and drinks, and the reunion was celebrated until late into the night. On Sunday morning, participants came together for a communal breakfast, where they shared the experiences of the previous evening in a convivial atmosphere. Overall, the alumni reunion was a great success and once again demonstrated the strong sense of community and cohesion among the residents and alumni of HBS and DEMAG.

Alumni Reunion 2018

The first alumni reunion successfully took place in 2018. Alumni from all over the world traveled to Aachen for the event. At noon, there was a barbecue, and in the evening, the food was provided by a catering service. The beverage catering was handled by the residents. The event was financed by donations from the alumni. The organization was managed by a team of residents and alumni.

Former residents of the “SMS DEMAG Kolleg”

On the site of our dormitory used to be the “SMS DEMAG Kolleg”, which also had a lively community life and a dormitory association, but was demolished in 2012 in favour of the HBS. We have adopted the alumni of the “SMS DEMAG Kolleg” and can now look back on a history of alumni up to 1962.
