Huge Demand for University Sports: Gala Ball finally takes place again after three years

The start of the winter semester also marked the beginning of the new registration period for the Aachen University Sports Courses. Demand was once again very high. Many courses were completely booked up within a few minutes. For all those who did not get a place in the course of their choice, there is the single date booking in many sports. This is always activated one day in advance. This year the offer is extended by the sport Krav Maga. This Israeli martial art involves self-defense with various punching and kicking techniques.

A big change this semester has been the ongoing demolition of the Königshügel gymnasium. Full demolition is scheduled to be completed before the end of October. After that, the replacement new construction of the sports hall will begin. The new hall is then expected to be ready for occupancy in early 2025.

In November, a long-awaited event will finally take place again: For the first time since 2019, the RWTH Rectorate will be inviting guests to the Gala Ball. The HSZ will host this glamorous event, where guests will glide across the dance floor in elegant evening dress. In addition to the Gala Ball, the remaining events of the winter semester can also be eagerly anticipated. The two snow events and the Ice Hockey Uni Cup in December. In March, the HSC will also host the German University Championship Snowboard and Free Ski. The event will take place in Les Deux Alpes, in France.

The HSZ is looking forward to an eventful winter semester in which all events can finally take place again.
