you the rental cost of your accommodation until the next possible date on which the contract can be terminated. Get in touch with your residence directly to find out about the costs involved if you fail to respect the cancellation policy when terminating the contract early.

Important information

The following steps must be strictly observed when looking for an apartment in one of the above residences:

For contractual reasons, depending on the occupancy levels in the various residences, you may be asked to move residences during your stay – this is especially likely if your contract with the ECB is extended and you want to continue benefiting from the residences. If this happens, the above procedures need to be observed again and consequently there is no guarantee that you will stay in your current residence. You will not be able to refuse an ECB request to move residences, except if you decide to move to privately arranged accommodation, in which case you can apply for a lump sum for temporary accommodation (see below).

We wish you a very nice stay at your accommodation. Should you have any questions, please contact accommodation.ecb@ecb.europa.eu.

Private accommodation and lump sum for temporary accommodation

If you would prefer to move into private accommodation instead of staying at one of the residences above, you may opt to receive an accommodation allowance by informing us of your decision via the “Start HR Process” app once you have joined the ECB. In that case, you will need to attach a copy of the rental agreement in your name, as well as a copy of your address registration certificate (Meldebestätigung) issued by the German registration office. If your request is approved, you will receive a lump sum of €750/month. This lump sum for temporary accommodation still applies in the event of external assignment where no accommodation is provided. If you move from one of the ECB's residences into private accommodation, please comply with the cancellation policy outlined above.

Travel arrangements

If the distance from your place of residence to the ECB exceeds 50 km and irrespective of the means of transport used, the ECB pays the following lump sums on appointment (and later on termination) of service (aimed at covering all travel costs of your journey):

Up to 500 km 500-1,500 km Over 1,500 km

EUR 430

EUR 589

EUR 742

Please make your own travel arrangements as soon as possible upon receipt of the signed agreement. You do not need to submit documentation pertaining to your travel arrangements – the relevant lump sum will be paid via the payroll after you have joined the ECB.

Useful information

There are restricted traffic zones/low emission zones within the city centre (Umweltzone/green zone) where only cars displaying specific environmental badges/stickers (Feinstaub-Plaketten) are allowed to circulate. The badges/stickers can be obtained for €5 at the Kfz-Zulassungsstelle, in the Bürgerämter in Frankfurt, at TÜV, DEKRA and car garages. You will need to bring your car ID (Fahrzeugschein) in order to buy them. Vehicles without an environmental badge/sticker may not pass through the green zone and penalties apply.

After your arrival in Frankfurt

Registration with the German authorities

Within two weeks of arriving in Germany, you must register your place of residence with one of the Bürgerämter (registration offices) of the town/city in which you live. This must be done in person. You do not have to register if your stay in Germany will not exceed three months. But it is advisable to do so if there is a possibility that your traineeship with the ECB is likely to be extended beyond this time period (as it may help avoid an unnecessary fine).

If you are married, or have children, the original marriage and birth certificates need to be provided with the International Certificate or a certified German translation. If you are divorced, the same applies for the divorce certificate.

You will also need to present a letter from your landlord/rental property manager confirming that you are renting accommodation. This letter has to include the name and address of the landlord/rental property manager, the date on which you will be moving in, the address of the rental property and your name. Failure to comply could result in a €1,000 fine for the landlord.

Planning to live in Frankfurt?

A full list of registration offices in Frankfurt can be found here.

Note that you will receive a verbal warning if you only manage to register with the Frankfurt authorities between two and four weeks of taking up residence in this city. Thereafter, you may be fined. Fines start at €15 and the amount payable will depend on the length of the delay.

EU nationals do not need a residence permit

A German residence permit is not required for EU citizens. The Meldebescheinigung (the certificate issued when registering your place of residence with a local registration office, i.e. a Bürgeramt) – together with your personal ID card or passport – is sufficient proof that you are officially registered in Germany as a citizen of another EU country.

Bank account

Your salary and benefits can be paid into any account in the European Union, provided that your bank is SEPA-compliant. You can also open a bank account in Germany (leaflets on the various banks are available at the Staff Info Point in room HS 15.10 of the main building).

Many banks require their clients to register their place of residence at a local Bürgeramt (please see the section on Registration with the German authorities) before they can open a new bank account.

Your bank account details can be provided by completing your per
