Since there are so many Erasmus or exchange students in this city, it should be easy to get second hand items for a bundle. Usually the students leaving will sell their beddings, cutlery, lamps etc for a good price. This should be easy to find in most student residences.

Cell phones waste a lot of money if you have a pre-paid card. Try not to chit-chat on a cell phone. Have water at dinner, it saves a lot of money in the long run. Buy Bahn card for the train. it really saves a lot of money in the end.
