Schröder criticized: HFC loses, housing shortage hits students!
There will be some exciting developments in Halle on October 27, 2025. The live ticker from the Halle local editorial team provides current news from the city and highlights various topics that affect the citizens of Halle.
Football in focus
In the football world, coach Robert Schröder of Halleschen FC (HFC) is under pressure after the recent defeat against 1. FC Lok Leipzig. With a gap of eleven points to the top of the table and only one win in the last seven league games, the mood in the team is tense. There is definitely something to be done for the coach, who must now do everything he can to bring about a turnaround before it is too late.
Ice on the new ice dome
The Saale Bulls' new ice dome has just opened its doors after a year and a half of construction. Of course, the game was played on the opening day, but the home team had to record the first match day as a defeat. Despite the unsuccessful start, the Bulls show promising potential for the coming games. Information is always available on saalebulls.com.
Student accommodation in demand
Another issue that affects many new students in Halle is finding suitable accommodation. It is not easy for some to find accommodation, so some have even had to resort to youth hostels. Around 100 overnight stays were offered as part of a long-stay program. This shows how important affordable housing is in the city.
Living in Halle
In this context, the city of Halle (Saale) has published the “FaktenCheck Wohnen”, a new publication that provides compressed information about developments on the Halle housing market. This “Fact Check Housing” replaces the previous housing market reports and offers a deep insight into demand and supply developments.
Such market analyzes have been carried out since 2002 and are based on honest official statistics and feedback from citizens and housing authorities. A good step towards identifying clearer trends and developing long-term strategies for housing construction. The city is also guided by the popular “Fact Check Education”, which is established in municipal education management. Further information about the trends can be found on the official website of the city of Halle halle.de.
In summary, the current events in Halle show that the city has many facets. Be it the challenges in sports or the students' living space situation, Halle remains exciting and it will be interesting to see how things develop further!
