In Germany, it is customary for apartments to be let completely unfurnished (without kitchen appliances). However, partially furnished apartments (with kitchen appliances) can often be found. Fully-furnished offerings - usually specifically for students - exist, but they are often in high demand (especially at the beginning of a semester). Shared apartments mostly offer unfurnished rooms, but have a fully-equipped kitchen and bathroom that the occupants share.

More unfurnished rooms and apartments are available and they are often cheaper than those that are furnished. It is not difficult to buy furniture in Magdeburg. If you decide to buy new furniture, this can usually also be delivered directly to your apartment. In addition, Magdeburg has a good second-hand furniture market. For example, there are several large furniture stores where used furniture can be purchased. It is also worthwhile taking a look at ebay Kleinanzeigen“ or on „IKUS-Second Hand“. At the end of your stay you can also sell your furniture again there.
