Floor reps
The floor representatives (Flursprecher*innen) are the foundation of residents' participation at Rosenbachweg.
Floor reps represent the interests of their floor and are entitled to vote in the dormitory council. They decide on motions, elect the members of the self-administration (SV) and discharge them.
Why should I become a floor rep?
- More weight for everyone
The more floors have a rep, the better the SV represents all residents – and the stronger the dorm's position towards the outside.
- Better living together
By getting involved for your floor you automatically create a more social atmosphere – on your floor and in the whole dorm.
- Cleaning money in house 10/12
If you live in house 10/12, your floor gets 6 € per kitchen user per semester for cleaning supplies. Hand the receipt to the 1st mayor – as long as you or your deputy attended the first dormitory council meeting of the semester.
- One extra semester
If you carry out your duties properly, the semester is not counted towards your maximum period of residence.
How do I become a floor rep?
- Hold a floor meeting
The majority of the residents of your floor have to vote for you. The election takes place at the beginning of every semester, at the latest four weeks after the first dormitory council meeting.
- Fill in the protocol
Use the ready-made election protocol (only visible from the dorm network).
- Hand it in to the BA
Hand the completed protocol to the Residency committee (BA) within those four weeks – done!

The details, e.g. about the election, the duties and the discharge, are laid down in the Rosenbachweg regulations (RBW-O); the relevant sections are summarised in the Excerpt for floor reps. As these documents are in German, feel free to ask the Residency committee (BA).
