Keys
MCh uses semi-electronic keys. This means that the outside of the doors works electronically, so you may only access rooms where the door is programmed for your key. From inside the doors work purely mechanically. Thus, you may leave any room at any time (but you will only get back if the your key is accepted).
When starting to work at MCh you will receive a key without deposit. The doors will be programmed accordingly. In case you are missing the key and it may be lost you have to inform the senior engineer, currently Dr. Simon Münstermann, immediately. the key will be deactivated. Incas the key does not reappear you will have to pay the price for a new one, currently 60 €.
When you leave MCh please contact the senior engineer in advance to leave the key in time.
