I have lives in it for a year and i found it so far extremly safe no such big crimes or stealings every one has its own Business you respect the rules and you will be respected. The town is small but still calm and charming

Erlangen is a Student City and is very Safe, people drive around on their bikes or take walks at night late into the morning hours without any concerns. People are very young but almost all of them academics which reflects in the clean and respectful environment.

If it's not the " Bergkirchweih" it's one of the safest places I know. I was born here and it's one of the only places, where I feel safe at almost all times. It's hard to describe, but it's a beautiful old town

I was a bit worried about my safety in Erlangen before i moved there - i used to live in a very small and save village. But i was so surprised: I feel comfortable walking alone in the dark, using public transport on my own, eating out alone, talking to strangers,..

It is a very safe place. Once I lost my purse and the police itself gave it back to me. It is a university city with plenty of young people, and it is easy to find people that talk in English. I never felt unsafe.
