MaExchange aims to help exchange students settle into their new home in Mannheim easily, sustainably, and for free!

The project offers international students an opportunity to borrow household items during their stay, which we collect through donations from other students. Exchange students can borrow various items for a small deposit:

All Household Items (Unless otherwise stated): €0.50 per item

Pots and Pans: €5 per item

The great thing about the deposit system is that, as long as the items are in an acceptable condition, you will be able to get your money back once you return them at the end of the stay – meaning you essentially get all the items for free!

If you want to borrow items, please fill out the form below and let us know what items you would like as well as what date you expect to move in. We will aim to organise collection events for you to get your requested items as soon as you need them.
