Berlin, Solo travel
It does feel safe. And berlin is not as expensive as I thought, much and more is affordable here and the quality at which food gets sold is very much richer than the price. Overall experience has been excellent.

Generally Cologne was really safe, I liked it so much first time as Solo traveler, so I decided to go there second time with my family and show them around, it was beautiful too, and I was surprised to hear turkish people everywhere lol, more than german

Especially during Oktoberfest, it was very fun, very warm and people are really friendly. For stay, I stayed in a&a hostel, that's very shitty, they charge you for towel, water etc. I won't recommend that. For Food, prefer going to bars with local

So beautiful City. Nice people. I didn’t saw that much but the nature and some buildings were so pretty. I was here for a concert and it was fantastic. It’s not that big but very charming. Hope to be here again soon.

I felt pretty safe in Berlin wandering around by myself, I was pretty tired the first day so I would definitely recommend taking it easy if you had an early morning. The people I got to meet were very friendly, there was a man who had approached me to ask for my number and when I told him I had a boyfriend he was very respectful and wished me a good day.

Düsseldorf
I would say that Düsseldorf is quite a safe city, even during nights. But as a girl you still should be careful and try to avoid empty streets. The most unpleasant place is Hbf, other than that is okay.

Luneburg
Lüneburg is a small student city. During the day it is a very safe city. At night i would try to avoid the parc and station, but i never lived an unsafe situation even there. I feel very safe in Lüneburg generally. It is a political left orientated city where especially students are very aware and paying attention on how the people around them are doing.

Germany in general is a relatively safe country. You should just be aware of your surroundings, especially in bigger cities of course. Always let a trusted person know, where you are. 2 specific tips: 1. In just about every city, the difference in safety in different districts is insane, so be sure to look up, where you are. 2. Germany isn't exactly known for having a lot of good internet access, and that's true. Always be aware, especially outside of cities centers, but even in, that you might suddenly lose all connection, so screenshot adresses, download apps etc..

It really depends on your district but overall I would say Berlin is one of the safest capitals in Europe. I think like in most Western countries you are more in hanger of rape by your liver than on the streets. That said, avoid empty streets in Neukölln and Kreuzberg districts. Those are most famous for nightlight and most riddled with drug dealers and drug addicts, which are sometimes acting dangerously unconsciously The most dangerous spots are typically subway stations, especially U8 line. Again due to homeless addicts. Most of them are harmless, but some are so out of their mind they can be dangerous

Passau is really safe, you should only be careful during the night around the train station and the central bus station (ZOB). Everywhere else you can walk alone without any safety issues and during the day everything is perfectly safe
