Giving Away in Hamburg.

Hamburg lives by the water and by people coming and going. The harbour, the students at Universität Hamburg, young professionals around the Schanze — someone is always moving into a new shared room or another old apartment. Furniture and belongings change hands all the time. Givore turns the whole Hanseatic 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 on the Water.

Hamburg is a harbour city where something is always on the move, on the Elbe and on land. Every move leaves someone with furniture, appliances and household things to clear out. Givore turns that churn into an opportunity: what you no longer need and offer to give away is often exactly what a neighbour is looking for.

Stadtteil by Stadtteil.

From the Flohschanze flea market in the Schanzenviertel to the full boxes left on doorsteps in Ottensen, reuse is simply part of Hamburg life. Every Stadtteil, or district, has its own feel, but you find the sharing habit everywhere. Givore brings that Hamburg way to your phone and makes it visible to the whole neighbourhood.

Small Flat, Smart Sharing.

In Hamburg's old buildings and shared flats, every square metre counts. A sofa that no longer fits through the narrow stairwell, a shelf left over after a move — far 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.

With Universität Hamburg, the TUHH, the HAW and plenty of other colleges, the city has a huge 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 you are not taking with you to the next person moving in.

1. Download Givore

Get the free Givore app on Google Play or the App Store. Create your account in seconds and set Hamburg as your location. You are now part of the Hanseatic city's growing giveaway community.

2. Explore Your Stadtteil

Browse the map and see what is free to pick up near you. Look for second-hand furniture in Altona, clothing around the Schanze or household things in Eimsbüttel. Filter by category to find exactly what you need.

3. Share What You Find

Spotted furniture on the kerb? Found something useful on a doorstep in Ottensen or on the next corner? Take a photo, drop the location and share it with the community. That is how Hamburgers help each other make good finds.

4. Message & Collect

Message the owner through the chat, agree on a pick-up time and collect the item. Every object saved from the bin makes Hamburg a little more sustainable. That is giving away in practice.

Popular Neighbourhoods in Hamburg.

Givore works in every Hamburg district. From the harbour's edge to Wandsbek, find free furniture and second-hand things to give away and connect with your local community, wherever you live.

St. Pauli

A lively quarter right by the harbour, full of young people, creatives and students. With people constantly coming and going, there is almost always a sofa, shelf or chair to give away near you.

Altona

A colourful district with families, students and neighbours from all over the world. People pass on a lot here — household items, clothing and furniture change hands instead of ending up in the bin.

Eimsbüttel

A popular old-building district with many students and young professionals. A great place to find well-kept furniture, appliances and books. An area with plenty of giving-away activity.

St. Georg

A central district near the Alster and the main station, with constant turnover. Where so many people move in and out, there is almost always something useful to give away or pick up.

Ottensen

A charming area of old houses, families and a settled neighbourhood. Boxes of things often appear on doorsteps here — perfect for finding children's items or furniture.

Wandsbek

A large district in eastern Hamburg with families and quiet residential streets. A good place to find a free fridge, a washing machine or larger furniture when someone is moving on.

Free Stuff & Giving Away in Hamburg — FAQ

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

With Givore you can find free furniture across every Hamburg district. The most active areas are St. Pauli, Altona, Eimsbüttel and around the Schanze. Open the map in the app to see which free furniture is available near you right now. Because students and young professionals are always moving in Hamburg, 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 on doorsteps. Givore is essentially a digital version of that for the whole city. Instead of hunting for a physical giveaway box in your area, 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 city and district, so giving away is frequently the simpler option.
Passing on clothes in Hamburg 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 Hamburg 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 Hamburg. Find free furniture, kitchen things, decor and everything you need to set up your new place without spending money. Students and young professionals are always moving in Hamburg, 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 Hamburg 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 in Hamburg treats each other fairly.
