We, Otto-Intze-Haus e.V., are a non-profit registered association that provides internet, laundry, printing and other services inside the tower. A membership costs 30€ per semester.
Joining the association
Create an account on oih.ac. 
If you haven't received one already, print and fill out the registration form and contact the house speakers (haussprecher@oih.ac). 

Laundry and Printing
Credits are used for washing and printing services. Here is the credit breakdown:
5€ for 166 credits
10€ for 332 credits
15€ for 500 credits
Every time you buy credits, you receive a code. On the website oih.ac, on the right side, you will find "Account" where you can find the "Redeem" section. There, you enter the code and click on the button on the right to confirm it. After that, you can check your balance to see if it worked.
To buy credits you can contact the person in charge via WhatsApp 
(For contact details details check OIH WhatsApp group description)
A washing appointment costs 60 credits and lasts 2 hours and 40 minutes. You can book the appointment through the website (oih.ac). There are two washing machines: a green one on the right and a blue one in the middle. The dryers are free to use and can be used up to an hour after your appointment ends. To activate the washing machine, you can do it directly from the website oih.ac using your phone ‚Activate‘
"Activate for one minute" means that after your appointment ends, the washing machine door cannot be opened to take out your clothes. You can click "Activate for one minute" without waiting for the next person's appointment. If you face any issues with the washing machine, you can contact one of the washag. 
The washing and printing rooms are located in the basement.
For printing, one black and white page costs 1 credit and color printing costs 3 credits.
