Sunday shopping in Freudenstadt: Brave the rain and shop!

Sunday shopping in Freudenstadt: Brave the rain and shop!

On Sunday, October 6, 2025, there was a Sunday open in Freudenstadt, despite the uncomfortable weather with rain and cold temperatures of about nine degrees Celsius. However, the event was shaped by the cancellation of the artisan market and the street food stands, which were deleted in advance due to weather warnings and forecasts. The storm situation, which started on Saturday at 2 p.m., brought stormy wind and precipitation with it, so that many residents and guests were forced to make themselves weatherproof.

The interiors of the Freudenstadt arcades offered the visitors a dry retreat, and despite the adverse conditions, the shops were open from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. The decline in visitor numbers compared to earlier Sundays was noticeable, but some retailers did good business. For example, the shop "Vom Fass" recorded a gratifying rush and offered popular products such as orange, plum and blueberry vinegar as well as Christmas liqueurs.

Shopping pleasure despite the rain

The perfumery Hinker/Beauty attracted customers with natural fragrances and rare fragrance creations, while in the Thalia bookstore there was a great rush from 1 p.m., especially for thrillers and children's books. Despite the weather, the cafés, including "Tutto Vino", also had some guests who treated themselves to a break. Alcohol -free drinks and light wines that rounded off the culinary offer were particularly in demand.

A look at the fashion shops shows that the first autumn and winter fashion arrived well, for example at Peters department store. The bridal fashion boutique reported on the upcoming bridal week season and made it clear that the anticipation for the upcoming events has already started. Retailers were flexible and adapted their offer to the needs of customers in order to offer an appealing shopping experience despite the circumstances.
