I live in Erlangen. We pay rent for a 100 m Flat. The final cost is 1450 euros. The average budget with insurance without rent is somewhere near 700 (including one time a week to a mid-range restaurant without daily alcoholic drinks).
A Student can live with a budget of 1000 euros per month including rent.
