I am not German so any advice I give may be faulty. Germany has social services. Quoting from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unemployment_benefits#Germany https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unemployment_benefits#Germany : > If a worker is not eligible for the full unemployment benefits or after receiving the full unemployment benefit for the maximum of 12 months, he is able to apply for benefits from the so-called Arbeitslosengeld II (Hartz IV) programme, an open-ended welfare programme which, unlike the US system, ensures people do not fall into penury. A person receiving Hartz IV benefits is paid 399 EUR (2015) a month for living expenses plus the cost of adequate housing (including heating) and health care. More about it at http://arbeitslos.wikia.com/wiki/Arbeitslosengeld_II http://arbeitslos.wikia.com/wiki/Arbeitslosengeld_II . http://i5l.kreis-soest.kdvz.de/integration/downloads/SGB-II-Merkblatt-Alg-II-englisch.pdf http://i5l.kreis-soest.kdvz.de/integration/downloads/SGB-II-... says that in general students are not eligible. You need to find if such services are available for students. But it's the weekend and they are likely closed. There are also volunteer food services, typically called a 'food pantry'. See http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/german-food-banks-and-soup-kitchens-struggle-with-demand-a-941661.html http://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/german-food-bank... : > Vongehr, 70, a pioneer of the German food-pantry movement, fears that the situation will get even worse in the coming years. One reason, she explains, is that more students are using food banks in Düsseldorf and other university cities. Turning them away would be unfair. On average, university students in Germany have a monthly income of only €864, which, according to the criteria of the German Federal Statistical Office, makes them just as "vulnerable to poverty" as Hartz IV recipients and many retirees. You should find if such thing exists where you live, go there, and in addition to food, ask for advice. Churches are often connected to social support networks, so even if you are not religious, you might go to one and ask for a pointer.
