A tuition fee paid by students at universities in Germany until around 1970 and usually collected by the respective bursar’s office. As of 2005, the tuition fee was reintroduced in some German states. Those familiar with the universities, however, claimed that the additional funds were used primarily – for worldwide “research trips” by professors and assistants and – for inflated staffing levels – because the number of staff members is widely regarded at German universities as a measure of the reputation and performance of the respective professor. Most of the federal states therefore abolished the lecture fee. – In the past, most universities granted lecturers an additional salary (additional renumeration) in addition to their basic salary, depending on the number of enrolments (enrolment, matriculation: number of students enrolled in courses). The students had to enter the respective course in their course book, and the bursar’s office took over the collection of the money as well as the distribution to the respective beneficiaries from the teaching staff. – Today often the course fee that adult education centers charge for individual teaching units in advance (on payment in advance). – See money burning, relegation fee, tuition, seminar cash, tuition.
