Giving Away in Frankfurt.

Frankfurt is Germany's finance hub, and it shows. Bankers, consultants and professionals from all over the world arrive on fixed-term contracts, set up a home and move on again after a year or two. Each of those moves means a whole flat being cleared out. Givore turns this compact, international city into a digital giveaway corner: find things to pick up for free near you, or pass your own belongings on to a neighbour instead of throwing them away.

A City of Expats.

Few German cities have as high a share of arrivals from abroad as Frankfurt. People who come for a couple of years and then take the next posting have to clear out furniture, appliances and household things. Givore turns that constant churn into an opportunity: what you offer to give away when you leave is often exactly what the next newcomer is looking for.

District by District.

Frankfurt is compact, but every district has its own tone — from lively Bornheim to easygoing Sachsenhausen with its apple-wine taverns. Sharing is part of life everywhere. Givore brings that neighbourhood habit to your phone and makes it visible to everyone around you.

Small Flat, Smart Sharing.

In Frankfurt's inner-city areas, rents are high and flats are often tight. A sofa that no longer fits through the stairwell during a move, a shelf left over — too good for the bulky waste. Offer it on Givore to give away, and a neighbour will happily come and collect it.

A Student City.

Around Goethe University in Bockenheim and Westend there is a large student community. Find free furniture for your room, a desk, books and everything you need to settle in. At the end of term, give away whatever is left to the next person moving in.

Popular Districts in Frankfurt.

Givore works in every Frankfurt district. From Nordend to Gallus, find free furniture and second-hand things to give away and connect with your local community, wherever you live.

Bornheim

A popular residential district around Berger Straße, full of young professionals and small shops. With people constantly coming and going, there is almost always a sofa, shelf or chair to give away near you.

Sachsenhausen

Frankfurt's district south of the Main, known for apple wine and a mixed crowd. Neighbours here actively pass on household items, clothing and furniture — one of the busier areas for giving away and second hand.

Nordend

A quiet old-building district with many families and professionals. A great place to find well-kept furniture, appliances and children's things from an engaged, reuse-minded community.

Bockenheim

A student-flavoured district right next to Goethe University. People move house constantly here around each term change, which keeps a steady flow of furniture and things available to pick up.

Ostend

An up-and-coming district with offices, young families and plenty of new arrivals by the river. A good place to find a free fridge, a washing machine or furniture when someone is moving on.

Gallus

A diverse, international district with constant turnover of expats and commuters. Where so many people move in and out, there is almost always something useful to give away.

Free Stuff & Giving Away in Frankfurt — FAQ

Common questions about finding free furniture, second-hand things and giving away in Frankfurt.

With Givore you can find free furniture across every Frankfurt district. The most active areas are Bornheim, Sachsenhausen, Bockenheim and Nordend. Open the map in the app to see which free furniture is available near you right now. Because expats and professionals are always moving in and out of Frankfurt on fixed-term contracts, neighbours constantly list a sofa, wardrobe or table they would rather give away than throw out.
"Zu verschenken" is the German phrase for "to give away" — handing something over for free, with no money involved. You see it in classified ads and on boxes left in apartment hallways. Givore is essentially a digital version of that for the whole city. Instead of hunting for a physical giveaway box in your district, you open the app and see right away what is free to pick up near you, and you can pass on your own things with a single photo.
Yes. The big classifieds sites do have a "give away" section, but it gets lost among countless listings for sale. Givore is built for giving away from the ground up: there are no prices and no haggling, everything is free. You offer your things to give away near you, or find free furniture, clothing and electronics in the app without sale listings in between.
Often, yes. Before you register bulky waste and wait for a collection date, you can simply offer your sofa, wardrobe or table to give away on Givore. It is usually faster, costs nothing, and your old piece gets a second life with a neighbour instead of being scrapped. The exact rules and fees for bulky waste can vary by district and provider, so giving away is frequently the simpler option.
Passing on clothes in Frankfurt is easy with Givore. Take a few photos of the pieces you want to give away, add your location and list them in the app as things to give away. Your neighbours in Frankfurt see your offer and get in touch to arrange a pick-up. That way your clothing gets a second life directly from person to person.
Givore is ideal when you are moving to Frankfurt. Find free furniture, kitchen things, decor and everything you need to set up your new place without spending money. Expats often move on again after a year or two in Frankfurt, so there is almost always something to give away. And when you move on yourself, you pass what you no longer need to the next new arrival.
Givore is completely free for everyone. And no — charging money is not allowed. Everything listed on Givore has to be given away for free. That is exactly what sets us apart from Kleinanzeigen or Facebook Marketplace: no prices, no bargaining, just neighbours in Frankfurt helping each other.
Yes, with a few simple precautions. Meet in a busy spot — by a front door, on a visible street or at a U-Bahn or S-Bahn station. Use the Givore chat to coordinate without sharing your phone number. Most hand-overs are quick and straightforward, and the Givore community treats each other fairly.
