Gender-inclusive language
In university correspondence, neutral forms of address and formulations as well as the gender asterisk (Gendersternchen) are used in documents, forms, contracts, and on all university platforms.
Employees who wish to change their first name and/or gender entry in the systems and on UdK Berlin documents should send an informal application by email to their responsible HR officer. A copy of an official identification document is required for the change; if applicable, a copy of the marriage certificate may also be submitted if the name change is related to marriage.
Upon receipt of the application, the HR department will make the necessary adjustments in the HIS system as well as in the payroll system.
Contacts at the HR department:
If there is a nameplate on your office door, please inform your supervisor, who will then contact Facility Management to arrange for the necessary change.
