Our suggestion for a sustainable shopping trip
Eco-fashion on Marktstraße
Within a radius of around 15 minutes on foot, you can experience everything that makes the two districts so special: for example, Marktstraße, the shopping mile of the Karoviertel. Here, Mr. & Mrs. Green await you with a large fashion selection, produced according to social standards and certified organic.
Just a few steps away, glore also shows that green fashion is fun. Browse through trendy styles from international eco-labels to local brands.
You can find even more vegan and fairly produced clothing as well as handmade jewellery at Vunderland in the neighbourhood.
Lockengelöt has trendy living worlds on offer: the furniture and accessories made from loving upcycling are sometimes quirky, sometimes chic, but always absolutely practical.
Refreshment on the shopping tour
At the end of Marktstraße, there are two sustainable alternatives for a well-deserved snack after shopping: if you want to enjoy a vegan lemon cake or other delicacies in organic quality in good company, go a few steps further to Sternstraße to the restautant In Guter Gesellschaft. In Germany's first zero-waste café, of course, there is no superfluous packaging. More savoury delicacies are offered by the food truck SchmaKo opposite the Rindermarkthalle with vegan burgers, salads and soups.
Winding down in the Schanze
On the way to Schanze, it's worth taking a look at the concept store All my friends. All kinds of sustainable fashion and accessory labels are to be found there. Then, just around the corner, Elbgold offers a hot coffee - Fairtrade and hand-roasted, of course. End the day with a craft beer and seasonal specialities made from regional ingredients at the Braugasthaus Altes Mädchen.
