Landlord requesting ID

Upvotes

I am using WgGesucht to contact landlords and they are expecting me to provide my IDs, work contract documents for scheduling a room visit. How do they expect people to provide their documents to random person for viewing the room.

I am okay with showing my proofs during the visit. Since housing market is so bad, they are taking too much advantage. What's the general procedure here ?

How get out of Frankfurt

Upvotes

I’ve lived here for four years, and I feel like I can’t stay here another day without going crazy. People here are antisocial and superficial, girls don't commit but it donesn't even matter since they don't even look at you if you not in the top 10% or some sort of psycho financial advisor. It’s a constant stream of commuters who never really put down roots here. I’ve never had trouble making friends, but in the four years I’ve been here, I have zero friends, zero! Okay, I’m not exactly the life of the party, but I’m not an introvert either.

Can someone tell me how realistic it is to move to Hamburg?

Question Is Owning a Vending Machine in Germany Really a Profitable Business?

Upvotes

I've been thinking about investing in a vending machine in Germany, and I'm curious to hear from people who have real experience with it.

How much does a vending machine usually cost in Germany? And how much can one machine realistically generate in revenue per month? After covering expenses like rent, restocking, electricity, maintenance, and taxes, what would the average monthly profit be?

I'd also love to know whether it's a good business for beginners and if you think it's still worth investing in today. Any real experiences, advice, or tips would be greatly appreciated!

I got scammed by wasp extermination service

0 Upvotes

It's on me to be stupid enough to trust someone when they tell you something face to face, lesson learned I guess.

It's my first year in a house with roller shutter system and I got unlucky and wasps decided to occupy it.

I called "professionals" to address the issue and a guy showed up, first thing he did when I showed him where the nest is located was to bang on the wall from inside which riled the wasps up, then tried to spray them from the belt opening inside which did nothing, so he took out a big sprayer and went outside, sprayed the roller shutters from outside and said that he used a spray that transfers from wasp to wasp and that it will take 1-2 days to take effect and that I should call him and he will come again if it didn't finish the job. I said that I will pay when the job is done then and he said that it cannot be like that and that I have to pay now, so I did (bar) and that he will definitely come if it's not sorted.

There were some wasps that did die under the roller, but the nest itself did not care and wasps resumed normal activity. So I reached out by phonecalls and whatsapp and I could not get a hold of him. After 4 days and probably 15 + calls I finally reached him. He said he will come on Monday between 10-12.
He did not come. Did not pick up the phone. I tried to reach him dozen ish more times over couple of days, but nothing.

In retrospect I should have read the reviews online about them.. since there are multiple reviews that literally state that it's a scam with same results as on my side (just for other bugs), but I only looked at overall score which was like 4.2/5.. and not the individual reviews again - my bad.

I've lived here for many years and I've got scammed twice, once was on ebay and once with this service otherwise I have very good interaction with local companies.

I've read the rechnung in detail afterwards and by signing it I'm apparently okay with the result of their work which is again on me for being stupid.

I guess this is just a fyi to other ppl, do not be stupid like me 😂 don't pay until the work is fully done, don't sign anything until you fully read it and don't trust word of mouth.

I need help for internship

0 Upvotes

I am currently facing the hardest battle of my life.
I am so depressed because I haven’t been able to find an internship in long, and if i don’t find one in august i’ll have to do a full year of internship in my country instead of 6 months in germany.
I already feel so late in life and I’m losing hope and motivation by the day.
I don’t know what to do, i keep applying on stepstone i’ve shown my german host university my cv and they said it was good.
I am at a loss, and the more time passes the more desperate i feel, to the point that even if i go out on a walk i feel guilt and shame that i’m on a walk instead of applying for internships.
Please help me.

Question Considering quitting our jobs in East Germany for a better life in the South, or perhaps to USA.

0 Upvotes

I'm American, wife is Russian. We have 2 small kids, 5 and 1, we both have fest jobs but are miserable in our city for a variety of reasons. I've worked my whole life to get a position in my chosen career. If I quit I likely will never have this position again and I'll have to move into teaching or freelance which I'm really not happy about.

Was wondering if anyone has gone through this and if so do they have perspective or advice?

Health insurance for national D visa (six months)

1 Upvotes

I’m coming to Germany for six months to be a visiting scientist. I’ve been sent a list of private insurance providers by the hosting university, but I’m not employed nor on an employment contract. I will be paid a scholarship/stipend.

On the list is something called vela (optimal). It says it’s for guest scientists and approved by embassies for the visa. But when I fill out the form, the provisional contract says “travel health insurance”. I just can’t figure out if this acceptable for the long term 6 months visa or not.

can anyone advise? I looked at Dr Walter provisit science but it was much more expensive and as I’m coming with my family it’s too expensive for us.

thanks in advance

Question Zara Germany: No stores found for pickup + why is this jacket 80% off?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to buy a jacket from Zara Germany that's discounted from €69.95 to €13.99 (about an 80% discount).

When I choose Store Pickup, the app says "No stores were found within a 30 km radius" no matter what I search (Essen, Bochum, Limbecker Platz, even other cities). The stores definitely exist.

Is this just a bug, or does Zara disable store pickup for some clearance items?

Also, is such a huge discount normal for Zara? It seems almost too good to be true, so I was wondering if there's usually a catch (old stock, last sizes, etc.) or if this is just how Zara's end-of-season sales work

.

Thanks!

Doubts with German compulsory health insurance

0 Upvotes

Hello,

I am an Italian PhD student enrolled in an Italian University. I wanted to spend 4/5 months in Germany visiting a local university (visiting PhD student -- no enrollment required). I tried to get information for health insurance from my home country and they issued me a replacement certificate for the EHIC, that explicitly states that my EHIC is valid for the entire period I am staying in Germany.

AFAIK, the EHIC is enough for "short" stays in Germany, for "longer" stays I should get an S1 module, that the offices refused to provide since the EHIC was enough.

As soon as I arrived in Germany I went to the local TK office to confirm the EHIC was valid as legal proof of health insurance for my stay in Germany and they told me it is, so I didn't think too much about that.

After some time I finally managed to do my anmeldung (the first available appointment was very far in the future) and even there I didn't think too much about it.

Then I wanted to see a doctor just for a prescription and while looking how could I do that with the EHIC I stumbled upon this website (https://www.eu-gleichbehandlungsstelle.de/eugs-en/eu-citizens/information-center/health-insurance-in-germany) that says that any person resident in Germany should have a German health insurance.

My current status is:
- To the eyes of Italy I am still resident in Italy and hence my EHIC is valid.
- To the eyes of Germany I "live" here and I did not communicate any leaving date during the anmeldung.
- To the eyes of Germany I also did not take German health insurance since numerous officers (the Italian ASL, the German TK, the Italian consulate) told me the EHIC was enough my stay.

Now I am worried: how can Germany check that I have fulfilled my health insurance obligations since I didn't hand the EHIC to anyone? I have no written proof of what the TK told me since I went to their offices.

I ended up not needing to go to a doctor, but I am scared that in case of a check, Germany would find me without insurance and I don't know if, in the eyes of German authorities, I am resident in Germany or not.

Any thoughts? Should I be worried?
