Mensa at Campus Lingen ––
Mensa Lingen is part of Campus Lingen and therefore also located on the site of the former Lingen railway repair shop plant, i.e. Ausbesserungswerk, which operated actively from 1856 to 1985. The whole site was bought by Stadt Lingen (Ems) in 1990, gradually five hangars were rebuilt and ultimately transformed to Campus Lingen of Hochschule Osnabrück as well as IT Zentrum Lingen. The building itself is located in between main hangar and Kaiserstreet and, compared to the repair shop hangars, has a rather architecturally outstanding design. Since spring 2014 Mensa Lingen offers a broad variety of snacks, meals and drinks, becoming a "delicious pleasure zone", according to the Studentenwerk Osnabrück. Despite continuous teaching throughout the year at Campus Lingen, Mensa Lingen was held closed four months a year at first. However, in the transitional phases in-between terms, there is a reduced offer and the cafeteria is available – so Mensa Lingen is nowadays closed on public holidays and only a few weeks in summer. Since October 2016 closing time in the afternoon is 3:15 pm; since Covid this was made 2:30 pm. Mensa Lingen is always closed on weekends. Due to the chosen way of construction, lectures, events or parties cannot take place within this building. Mensa Lingen is wheelchair accessible. There is a parent-child area, despite there being no childcare or kindergarten at Campus Lingen, including the possibility of nursing. Child-friendly chairs are available.
On the forecourt, between the renovated main hangar and the canteen building one can see the gift given to the city of Lingen at Kivelingsfest 2011 by the so-called Kivelinge: A work of art by Lena Hülsmeier, which is especially characterized by a variety of symbolism, e.g. a coat of arms as base, railroad tracks, a stylized steam locomotive, a locomotive wheel, the three city gates of Lingen and the dean's scepter. The total cost of the campus, which is home to more than 2500 students, is estimated at 45 million Euros. Campus Lingen was officially inaugurated on 8 October 2012. Mensa Lingen opened in December 2013.
