Overall, Gießen is a relatively safe city with a large student population, thanks to its universities. Most crimes, such as theft, tend to target businesses rather than individuals. That said, like in many urban areas, it’s wise to stay alert, especially at night. I’d personally avoid being alone around the train station at night or walking through dimly lit, less frequented areas, as there have been reports of sexual harassment and assaults. Trust your instincts and use available safety options like night taxis when needed.

Overall safe. I had one or two sexual harassment encounters in the bus in 4 years. But compared to any other country it’s probably the safest. I never got robbed, and all the times I lost something I actually got it back.

Hanover is very safe but I would still recommend to pay attention when you’re at the train/tram-stations at night (or dark areas in general), since there can always be people wondering around looking for someone to bother.

Small village district where almost everyone knows everyone, people are trustworthy, but you still can get people passing by and it doesn't close out thing happening, always feel safe it is surround by beautiful Forrest just wouldn't go at night more so cause of wildlife

I went to Naumburg with a group from my school for an exchange program , We stayed in Naumburg for 10 days. Every day we were going to excurtions to different cities from Naumburg , I cant say about the prices very much, cause our host families were buying everything for us , but the city in general was very hospitable very beautiful , i recomend going there in autumn very much,cause the nature is breathtaking.
