Boxhagener Platz Flohmarkt

Boxhagner Platz is home to one of Berlin's most charming markets, in the heart of Friedrichshain. It is surrounded by charming cafes and bars. So start with brunch and then head over to the market.

You will find a lot of vinyl here, along with vintage furniture, some junk and a couple of good vintage clothes stalls.

It's smaller, has a local feel to it and is more charming that Mauerpark, but has a much smaller range of clothes. You can barter at this market, so come armed with cash.

While you are in the 'hood’ don't forget to check out The Raw Flohmarkt at Cassiopeiat. It's just down the road.

Trash - Schick

The big second hand department store of Humana tends to overs shadow Freidrichshain. Yes, it's worth a trip to Friedrichshain to visit it but, it's not the only store in the area for vintage lovers. It would be a pity to visit here and not make your way through the Boxhanger Platz area. Here you will find a number of smaller second hand and vintage shops like Trash-Schick.



We really like Trash-Schick, it's very Berlin. It has very well priced retro and second hand clothes mainly from the 70's - 90's,  street wear and with some wacky 80's Berlin items tucked away.

They also have some 20's and 30's accessories. There are some well priced gems to be found here. We picked up an 80's party frock for 20 euros, and left very happy, ready to hit the dance floor.

Humana

Humana second hand stores have a number of outlets across Berlin. The biggest being the flagship store at Frankfurther Tor. Over five floors they stock clothes of every shape and size from mainly the 90's on wards. For the vintage lover it's best to start on the top floor. There you will find a wide range of retro and vintage from 50's - 80's.



The highlights for us were racks of GDR evening frocks, over sized 80's bedazzled knits, polyester suits and fake/real fur coats at low prices. Feeling festive? In winter they have racks of Norwegian jumpers available just in time for Christmas.

Everyone in Berlin shops here at one time or another, so make like the local and grab a bargain.
