Vintage In Berlin

Welcome to Vintage In Berlin!

Here you will find the best addresses to plan your vintage shopping trip to Berlin.

Whether you like to rummage in shops filled with vintage treasures, potter around the flea markets on Sunday or visit vintage boutiques for designer vintage, Berlin has something to offer.

To start with, forget about doing anything in the morning. Berlin is a city for the night owl. Many stores open around 12 noon and stay open till 7 - 8pm. Shops in Berlin close on Sunday. Do not despair! Sunday is market day. Berlin's flea markets are a vintage lovers dream. So make sure you plan your trip around the weekend.

The eastern parts of Berlin, such as Mitte and Prenzlauer Berg, have a high concentration of vintage and retro shops.  To find vintage from the 20's and 30' and antiques reminiscent of the heady Weimar days and Cabaret, you will need to head West to Charlottenburg and Schöneberg.

Mitte: Head to the area between Weinmeister Str U-Bhan station and Tor Str. Here you will find vintage shops rubbing shoulders with Berlin designer boutiques, private art galleries and cool cafes. It's fun, fashionable and a little bit touristy, and we love it.

Kreuzberg: This area is perpetually hung over from the night before. However, once it wakes up, Kreuzberg has a real buzz. This kiez (neighbourhood) is home to lots of good retro and second hand stores, bars, clubs and cafes. You could spend all your time here and forget to leave.

Prenzlauer Berg: Vintage lovers should not miss out on exploring this charming part of Berlin. Prenzlauer Berg has a high concentration of quality vintage shops. On Sunday, Mauerpark and Arkon Platz flea markets are filled with locals and tourist alike hunting for bargains. Home to arty types, yoga mums and intellectuals, Prenzlauer Berg is a perfect destination to while away a Sunday or any day in Berlin.

Friedrichshain: Head here for a taste of the old GDR as you stroll down Karl Marx Alle to Humana for an afternoon of vintage department store rummaging. You can spend a Sunday around Boxhagner Platz having brunch, then hit the vintage market and finish off at Cassiopeia market for a few drink with the locals. A favourite area of students wanting to warm up before hitting the clubs further afield, Friedrichshain is a relaxed and fun area to spend the day and into the night.

Neukölln: Bordering  the edge of Kreuzberg and crawling out of bed around 12 noon with a Club Mate in hand, Neukölln is ground zero for Berlin's hipsters. It's a bit grungy but oozes 'real' character.

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.

Colours

Part of the Kleidermakt chain of vintage stores, Colours is located on the charming Bergmann Str. in Kreuzberg. It is tucked away at the back of a court yard so just look for the sign and head up the stairs. It's worth the effort. Here you will find a warehouse sized store packed with vintage/retro fashions and accessories.

They sell clothes by the kilo, which sounds great at first, but the better items are individually priced. So save the kilo shopping for summer dresses and light weight items.

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.

Maurepark Flohmarkt

Mauerpark is Berlin's most popular and largest flea market ('flohmarkt'). Running along the former site of part of the Berlin wall, it's a great spot to hang out, shop and be seen.

It's all here - vintage clothes, vinyl, furniture, food, beers and even outdoor karaoke. Come and join the masses. It is better to visit the market in the warm weather. You can grab a beer, sit up on the hill and people watch into the evening. But don't let the cold put you off either. The market runs to capacity come rain or shine.

So, if you only have time to visit one flea market in Berlin, make it this one.

Prices are a little higher here and it's more crowded than other flea markets. However, it's worth it for the high volume vintage clothes, accessories and home wear you can find here. 


So, dive on in and have fun!

Shoes glorious shoes! This is why Berliners come to Jumbo Second hand.

This store is perfect if you like to rummage and it's easy to spend an hour or more here and walk away with something fun.
