      In 2006 the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) allowed universities to charge tuition fees of up to 500 euros. Bielefeld University was one of 25 in the state to do this (they put it at 250 Euros per Semester (6 months) first and later changed it to 350). The response to this was militant protests by students.

      During the protests, the rectorate and the administration wing were occupied, the rector’s car was set on fire, a master key was stolen from a security guard and the Audimax (the largest lecture hall) was occupied.

      After a change of government, the tuition fees were then abolished.

      Maybe mark that the amount is per semester (=6 months), even better, normalize it into year or monthly costs.

      Also, “SoSe” isn’t very understandable for people who haven’t been studying in Germany. (Hint: it means summer semester)

      This fits better in r/data because you forgot the last two words of this sub’s name

      All the green parts are for transportation, no? Why would those be included with tuition fees?

      Dang, that’s expensive, I pay 25€ a semester, though there’s no public transit included.
