## About Neuburg-Schrobenhausen district

Neuburg-Schrobenhausen combines two historic towns with countryside shaped by the Danube, the Donaumoos and asparagus farming. Neuburg an der Donau is known for its Renaissance palace; Schrobenhausen for asparagus and its connection to painter Franz von Lenbach. [District tourism](https://erlebnisregion.neuburg-schrobenhausen.de/Erlebnisregion/)

The landscape changes from riverside woodland around Neuburg to the drained peatland and agricultural settlements of the Donaumoos. Cycling, local museums and walks through the Danube floodplain are useful starting points for exploring beyond the towns.

## Nearest universities

No separate university institution is listed for the district in this catalogue, but there is an important campus distinction: Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt operates Campus Neuburg, home to its Faculty of Sustainable Infrastructure. Check your programme’s teaching location before choosing accommodation. [THI campuses](https://www.thi.de/hochschule/ueber-uns/campus/) For study elsewhere, nearby university destinations include Ingolstadt, Eichstätt and Augsburg. Neuburg and Schrobenhausen offer direct trains to Ingolstadt, although the journey to your classroom also needs to include local connections. [DB Neuburg timetable](https://www.bahnhof.de/downloads/schedule/Regeltafel_4366.pdf) [BRB route](https://www.brb.de/en/fahrplaene/linienuebersicht-fahrplaene/line/rb-13) This is worth considering if you prefer smaller-town living or have a local placement: Schrobenhausen-based BAUER offers dual study, internships and working-student opportunities.

## Housing

Neuburg has purpose-built student options alongside private accommodation. The Studierendenwerk residence on the THI campus lists single apartments and rooms in shared flats; Studienseminar Neuburg also prioritises students, trainees and interns.
