Welcome to the Netz.ac About page.
We are a volunteer-run student network in Aachen. For many years, we have been ensuring that students in the dorms KaWo 1, KaWo 3, Kullenhof, and Bärenstraße 19 have stable, lightning-fast, and uncensored access to the RWTH network.
Our History
Netz.ac e.V. and its legal predecessors have been running the networks of the KaWo 1, KaWo 3, and Kullenhof dormitories with the support of many volunteers. In early 2026, Bärenstraße 19 joined as well. The idea of operating our own network – and with it the origins of the association – goes all the way back to 1995.
Our Mission
We believe that fast network is not a privilege, but a basic requirement for successful studying. That is why we take action ourselves and organize our network completely independently—from hardware to support.
