Giving Away in Leipzig.

Leipzig is one of Germany's fastest-growing cities — locals half-jokingly call it "Hypezig". Students from the University of Leipzig and the HTWK, creatives and young families keep arriving, and rents are still relatively affordable. In shared flats and old apartment buildings, furniture and belongings change hands all the time. Givore turns the whole 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 Rise.

Few cities attract as many newcomers right now as Leipzig. Every arrival and every move leaves someone with furniture, appliances and household things to clear out. Givore turns that constant churn into an opportunity: what you no longer need and offer to give away is often exactly what a neighbour is looking for.

Quarter by Quarter.

Every Leipzig quarter has its own character, but sharing is part of life everywhere. In Connewitz and Plagwitz the alternative, do-it-yourself culture runs especially deep, and reuse matters to a lot of people. Givore brings that habit to your phone and makes it visible to the whole neighbourhood.

Small Flat, Smart Sharing.

In Leipzig's old buildings and shared flats, every square metre counts. A sofa that no longer fits through the stairwell, a shelf left over after a move — 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 the University of Leipzig, the HTWK and many 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 is left to the next person moving in.

Givore works in every Leipzig district. From the city centre to the outskirts, find free furniture and second-hand things to give away and connect with your local community, wherever you live.

Plagwitz

A former industrial quarter around Karl-Heine-Straße, now full of studios, small shops and young people. With people constantly coming and going, there is almost always a sofa, shelf or chair to give away near you.

Connewitz

Leipzig's alternative heart, shaped by a strong DIY and reuse culture. Neighbours here actively pass on household items, clothing and furniture. One of the most active areas for giving away and second hand.

Südvorstadt

A lively quarter around Karl-Liebknecht-Straße with plenty of students and professionals. A great place to find well-kept furniture, appliances and everyday things from a reuse-minded community.

Gohlis

A popular old-building district with many families and a settled neighbourhood. A good place to find a free fridge, a washing machine or children's things when someone is moving on.

Lindenau

An up-and-coming quarter in the west of Leipzig that draws a lot of new arrivals. People move house constantly here, which keeps a steady flow of furniture and things available to pick up.

Reudnitz

A central district in the east of Leipzig with constant turnover of students and young professionals. Where so many people move in and out, there is almost always something useful to give away.

Free Stuff & Giving Away in Leipzig — FAQ

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

With Givore you can find free furniture across every Leipzig quarter. The most active areas are Plagwitz, Connewitz, the Südvorstadt and Lindenau. Open the map in the app to see which free furniture is available near you right now. Because Leipzig is growing so fast and students and new arrivals are always moving in, 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 quarter, 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 Leipzig 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 Leipzig 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 Leipzig. Find free furniture, kitchen things, decor and everything you need to set up your new place without spending money. Leipzig is growing fast, with students and young families always moving in, 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 Leipzig helping each other.
Yes, with a few simple precautions. Meet in a busy spot — by a front door, on a visible street or at an S-Bahn or tram stop. 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.
