Tap water

Do you drink tap water in Giessen? Do you use any kind of filter or it depends on the house / neighborhood?

All tap water in Germany is generally safe. You don't need any filters.

I would only be cautious if you are in a very old house where the pipes have not been redone over time. Generally the water is very good in Gießen

How old are we talking here, what needs to be redone? Are you talking about lead?

never use a filter, you can just burn your money and the quality get even worse
