At registration at Stuttgart all students must demonstrate proof of health insurance as prescribed by German law. You must therefore apply for an EHIC (European Health Insurance Card) which has replaced the old E111 form. If you already have an EHIC make sure that it is valid for the length of your stay abroad.
