Place of residence Hamburg

Children under 6 always travel free of charge on hvv services. For children older than 6, there are  reduced-price single/day tickets or school passes. These can already be used if children have not yet started school.

The hvv offers special tickets, for instance the hvv Deutschlandticket, for all school students  in regular primary or secondary education at a public school. The type of ticket offered, the price and the rules on its use depend on where you live. 

You live in Hamburg* and that means for you: free travel in Hamburg and all over Germany!  As a school student you can travel all over the hvv area and countrywide on local and regional trains for an unbeatable price of  € 0 – and that’s how it will also be in 2025.  

That is made possible by the Senate of the City of Hamburg. This makes Hamburg the first federal state to offer a free Deutschlandticket for school students across the board. 

Order in just a few steps: 

• Important.  The free Deutschland-Schulticket can only be ordered online:
• meinhvv: As  part of the ordering process, a meinhvv client account will be set up. You can manage the ticket and your data in this easily and simply yourself.  
• Up to age 15: Your parents will order it for you. 
• From age 16: You can order the ticket yourself. To order, you will need an entitlement form, which you can get from your school.  
• Delivery:  The ticket will be sent as a chipcard by post. For the time until it arrives, you can use the PDF ticket from your confirmation email as your authority to travel.
