Giving Away in Stuttgart.

Stuttgart sits in a basin, the Kessel, ringed by hills and vineyards. Mercedes-Benz, Porsche and a web of suppliers draw skilled professionals from all over the world, while the University of Stuttgart and Hohenheim bring a fresh wave of students each term. People here know the Swabian motto "schaffe, spare" — work hard, save up — and that is exactly why good things rarely end up in the bin. 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.

Thrift That Fits the City.

Swabians have a reputation for being thrifty, and reusing rather than discarding fits that reputation perfectly. Passing a piece of furniture on instead of paying to have it hauled away is not a trend here, it is an attitude. Givore gives that mindset a simple tool: what you no longer need and offer to give away is often exactly what a neighbour is looking for.

District by District.

Every Stuttgart district has its own character, from busy Bad Cannstatt down by the Neckar to leafy Degerloch up on the ridge. But the same rule holds everywhere: anything still useful gets handed on rather than scrapped. Givore brings that habit to your phone and makes it visible to the whole neighbourhood.

Tight in the Kessel, Smart Sharing.

Down in the valley basin, living space is scarce and pricey, and hauling a sofa up the narrow stairwells on moving day is a job in itself. A shelf left over, a wardrobe that will not come along — 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 the University of Stuttgart, the campus out in Vaihingen and the University of Hohenheim, the city has 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 Neighbourhoods in Stuttgart.

Givore works in every Stuttgart district. From the valley basin up to the Filder plateau, find free furniture and second-hand things to give away and connect with your local community, wherever you live.

Bad Cannstatt

A large, lively district on the Neckar with its own character and an active neighbourhood. With people constantly coming and going, there is almost always a sofa, shelf or chair to give away near you.

Vaihingen

Shaped by the university campus, with plenty of shared flats and working residents. A lot gets passed on around the start of each term, which makes it great for desks, shelves and kitchen things.

Degerloch

A quieter district up on the ridge with many families and a settled neighbourhood. A good place to find well-kept furniture, appliances and children's things from a reuse-minded community.

Stuttgart-West

A densely built old-building quarter full of young people, creatives and students. With all the moving in and out, something is always becoming free, keeping a steady flow of furniture and things to pick up.

Stuttgart-Süd

A lively area between Marienplatz and Heslach with apartment blocks and a mixed crowd. One of the more active parts of the city for giving away and second hand.

Feuerbach

A down-to-earth district of residential streets and many people working in industry. A good place to find a free fridge, a washing machine or furniture when someone is moving on.

Free Stuff & Giving Away in Stuttgart — FAQ

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

With Givore you can find free furniture across every Stuttgart district. The most active areas are Bad Cannstatt, Stuttgart-West, Vaihingen and Stuttgart-Süd. Open the map in the app to see which free furniture is available near you right now. Because someone is always moving in or out around the universities and the big employers, 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 collection dates for bulky waste can vary by district and provider, so giving away is frequently the simpler option.
Passing on clothes in Stuttgart 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 Stuttgart 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 Stuttgart, whether for studies or a new job in industry. Find free furniture, kitchen things, decor and everything you need to set up your new place without spending money. People are always moving around the universities and the big employers, 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 Stuttgart 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 Stadtbahn 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.
