Shopping in Osnabrück

City centre
Individual & brand stores

The Große Straße runs through the centre of the city from Neumarkt to Nikolaiort. It is one of the most popular shopping streets in Lower Saxony, partly due to the various owner-managed shops. These include Lengermann & Trieschmann (L&T) - the largest owner-managed fashion store in northern Germany, covering 20,000 square metres. In its sports shop, the brave can ride the perfect wave and then enjoy refreshments in the market hall.

On the eastern side of Grosse Strasse, Herrenteichsstrasse, Georgstrasse and Öwer de Hase are also home to numerous large and small shops, from bubble tea to men's fashion. On the Kamp-Promenade on the western side, brand stores offer fashion, electronics and lifestyle, framed by restaurants. Nikolaiort is the central place to sit and relax between the city centre and the old town.

The southern extension of Grosse Strasse from Neumarkt is called Johannisstrasse. Here you will find shops, crafts and restaurants from many different countries.

Old Town
Loving & personal

While the Nikolaiort and Krahnstraße are still bustling with activity, things become more relaxed towards the old town. Between small cafés and boutiques, you will find culinary specialities, art and pubs. Restaurants, coffee roasters, wine, gin, whisky and delicatessen shops can be discovered in the alleyways. The old town centre stretches between Heger Tor, the cathedral and the Haseviertel district. Hasestraße, which ends at the ramparts on the River Hase, is home to art, record shops and breweries, among many other things.

The heart of Osnabrück beats in the centre of the old town - at the Markt, the square in front of the town hall and St Mary's Church, which is surrounded by historic buildings. Here, you can sit in the sun and enjoy yourself well into the evening. Many festivals take place on this square throughout the year.

Lotter Straße, which runs through the Katharinenviertel, begins on the other side of Heger Tor. There are over 60 individual shops and many restaurants here.

Start-ups & young vegetables

It's "the coolest street in town" - the residents of Redlinger Straße are convinced of this. Here, the owners and founders are often behind the counter themselves, and sustainable concepts are often mixed with a spirit of innovation. Retro chic, ecologically produced clothing and its own bag label can be found here, as well as one of the last comic shops in Germany: Neunte Kunst. The Barösta coffee house with its own roastery and lovingly furnished café is one of the best coffee roasters in Germany according to Feinschmecker magazine.

What's more, you can enjoy soul food, vegan, organic and fair trade here, as your children are kept busy in the neighbouring playground. In the bistros, cafés and pubs around Adolf-Reichwein-Platz, you can keep a perfect eye on your young vegetables.
