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.
