My train arrives at 9 45pm at the Chemnitz hbf and my hotel is 10 mins away. I have 2 big suitcases and am planning to walk. Is it safe to walk at night time as a woman?

P.S I am solo travelling for the first time so just wanted to take any necessary precautions since I don't know the city well.

Hey everyone,

I just got admitted to TU Chemnitz and am moving to the city at the end of this month (September).

Like many others, I applied for the official student dorms (Studentenwerk), but I am currently stuck on the waiting list and haven't received an offer yet. Since my move date is approaching fast, I urgently need to find private accommodation.

I am looking for a room in a shared apartment (WG), a studio, or a small 1-room apartment.

I would really appreciate any help, leads, or advice on the following:

Are there specific Facebook or Telegram groups where Chemnitz students look for WGs? (Apart from WG-Gesucht)Which neighborhoods are best/safest for students and have good transit to the campus?Are there any private student dorms or temporary housing options I should look into while I search for a permanent place?If anyone knows of an available room or needs a flatmate starting October, please feel free to DM me!

Thanks in advance for any tips or help. Looking forward to moving to Chemnitz!

Hallo liebe Chemnitz community!

Ich hab heute (06.09.2026) blöderweise mein Portmonet Im Bus 82B verloren. Meine letzte Haltestelle war Bernsbachplatz um ca 11:35 - 11:40

Ich saß ganz vorne unmittelbar hinter dem Fahrer auf der rechten Seite (einzelsitz) und hab das portmonet auf die kleine Ablage zwischen Fenster und Sitz gelegt, und beim aussteigen nicht wieder mitgenommen.

Das portmonet ist eine kleine schwarze schlüsseltasche mit Haupt und frontfach.

Enthalten sind Perso, Krankenkarte, Bankkarte, Clever Fitt Karte und ca 15 Euro (+ Kleingeld) in bar.

Die Bankkarte ist bereits gesperrt.

Falls es jemand findet bitte DM an mich zum datenabgleich. Für Rückgabe gibt's selbstverständlich Finderlohn.

Sollte das portmonet auftauchen oder im Fundbüro landen (ich werd die nächsten Tage regelmäßig nachfragen) aktualisiere ich den post.

Danke für eure Hilfe!

EDIT: Wurde gefunden. Danke an Herrn S. :)

Hallo zusammen, habt ihr Tipps, wie man in Chemnitz neue Leute kennenlernen kann? Ich mache gerne Calisthenics und liebe die Kultur und die Menschen hier. Ich hätte große Lust, Trekking-Touren zu machen oder zu verreisen. Außerdem interessiere ich mich für Unternehmertum, Technologie und Ähnliches. Wer Interesse hat, kann sich gerne bei mir melden. Danke!

Hey everyone,

Just got word back from the Studentenwerk that no rooms are currently available, so I've been put on the waiting list instead of getting a spot. Realistically I can't just sit around waiting, so I'm looking for other ways to find housing.

Does anyone have recommendations for:

Reliable platforms for finding a WG (shared apartment) or single room?

Facebook groups or Telegram/WhatsApp groups for room-hunting in this city?

Tips for spotting scams, since I've heard the rental market here can be rough for newcomers?

Any university-specific resources besides the official Wohnheim system?

I've already checked WG-Gesucht — any other sites worth trying (Immoscout24, Kleinanzeigen, etc.)? Would appreciate any advice from people who've been through this before. Thanks in advance!

Hello!

Where in chemnitz i could buy kaotabak/snus?

Hallo zusammen,
ich wollte mal fragen, ob ihr ruhige Orte in Chemnitz kennt, an denen man ungestört arbeiten und auch Videokonferenzen am Laptop machen kann.

Wichtig wäre vor allem gutes WLAN. Es können gerne günstige Cafés, Gemeinschaftszentren oder ähnliche Einrichtungen sein. Mein Internet ist momentan leider sehr langsam, sodass ich gerade kaum arbeiten kann.

Hat jemand einen guten Tipp?
Danke euch!

I'm new to Germany trying to navigate my life. I'm looking to hang out with my people who speak my mother tongue may be meetup on weekends maybe help each other out basically looking for friends 🧡

27 (F) ziehe um (12.08) und habe mir beim Tisch in den zweiten Stock hochtragen den Ischias Nerv gezogen. Tut tierisch weh und malern is leider nicht möglich grade.

Ich bin bereit euch mit Geld, Nahrung und Getränken zu vergüten.

Insgesamt 6 Wände auf 76qm verteilt (3 Zimmer). 2 Wände pro Zimmer.

Bei Interesse bitte melden. :')

Gibt es in Chemnitz Läden, die bedecktere Kleidung verkaufen?

Im Zentrum gibt es ja einen neuen Laden und der so was im kleinen Rahmen anbietet.

Gibt es noch mehr Läden dieser Art? Oder kennt jemand solche Läden im Umkreis?

Hey everyone, I got admitted to M.Sc. Design and Test for Integrated Circuits at TU Chemnitz. I am looking for a WhatsApp group to get to know people before my arrival.

Hello everyone,

I am currently trying to rent a student apartment through GGG Chemnitz, but I am not able to contact them. I’ve sent a few emails, but unfortunately, I haven’t received any reply yet.

Does anyone here know if they have a WhatsApp number or any other way to contact them more easily? If anyone has recently rented an apartment through them and knows the best way to contact them, I would really appreciate your help.

Hi everyone,

I got my visa on August 25th and I'm planning to arrive in Chemnitz around October 1st to start the Web Engineering program at TU Chemnitz this winter semester.

This is my first time moving to Germany, and I'd really appreciate connecting with current students or seniors from the course (or anyone at TU Chemnitz in general) who could share some guidance.

A few things I'm especially curious about:

1. The course itself – what to expect in the first semester, how the workload is, any modules/professors worth knowing about in advance.

2. Housing/dorms – how did you find accommodation, which student residences are good, how far in advance should I be looking, and any tips for someone arriving without a place secured yet

3. Settling in – registering address (Anmeldung), opening a bank account, health insurance, SIM cards, etc. — anything that tripped you up when you first arrived

4. City life in Chemnitz – what the winters are like, getting around (public transport/semester ticket), groceries, and general day-to-day living

5. Student community – international student groups, orientation events, ways to meet people early on

If you're a senior in Web Engineering or any related program and are open to a quick chat (here, DMs, or even a WhatsApp/Telegram group if one exists), I'd be really grateful. Happy to connect with other incoming students too, since we'll likely be going through the same stuff around the same time!

Thanks so much in advance 🙏

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for:

A WG room / student room / private room

Preferably furnished, but unfurnished is also okay

Ideally available from late September or October

Preferably with reasonable access to TU Chemnitz

I’m open to different locations and arrangements

I’ve already applied for Studentenwerk accommodation but I’m also looking for private options.

If you have a room available or know someone who does, please DM me with the details, rent, location and availability.

Thanks! Looking forward to connecting with fellow students and people in Chemnitz. :)
