Sunday shopping in Freudenstadt: Brave the rain and shop!

Sunday shopping in Freudenstadt: Brave the rain and shop!

On Sunday, October 6, 2025, Sunday shopping took place in Freudenstadt, despite the unpleasant weather with rain and cold temperatures of around nine degrees Celsius. However, the event was marked by the cancellation of the craft market and street food stalls, which were canceled in advance due to weather warnings and forecasts. The storm situation, which began at 2 p.m. on Saturday, brought gale-force winds and rainfall, forcing many residents and guests to prepare for the weather.

The interior of the Freudenstadt arcades offered 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 previous shopping Sundays was noticeable, but some retailers still did good business. For example, the “Vom Fass” store had a good turnout and offered popular products such as orange, plum and blueberry vinegar as well as Christmas liqueurs.

Shopping pleasure despite the rain

The Hinker/Beauty perfumery attracted customers with natural scents and rare fragrance creations, while the Thalia bookstore was very busy from 1 p.m., especially for crime novels and children's books. Despite the weather, the cafés, including “Tutto Vino”, also had a few guests who treated themselves to a break. Non-alcoholic drinks and light wines were particularly in demand, rounding off the culinary offerings.

A look at the fashion stores shows that the first autumn and winter fashions were well received, for example at Kaufhaus Peters. The bridal boutique reported on the upcoming bridal week season, making it clear that the anticipation for the upcoming events has already begun. Retailers showed flexibility and adapted their offerings to customer needs in order to offer an appealing shopping experience despite the circumstances.
