Berlin, a city with a rich history and a vibrant modern culture, has always been a source of inspiration for creative minds. For us, Merz b. Schwanen, brand deeply rooted in heritage and craftsmanship, Berlin is not just a location; it's a place where our story unfolds.
Join us on a journey through the heart of Berlin as we share with you the top five places in Berlin that are intimately connected and dear to Merz b. Schwanen.
1: HEADQUARTER IN BERLIN-MITTE
Our journey begins at the very heart of Merz b. Schwanen, our headquarters in Berlin Mitte. This is where the magic happens, where Gitta Plotnicki, the co-owner and creative director of the brand, together with Peter Plotnicki, the CEO and co-owner, craft the initial designs that define Merz b. Schwanen's timeless style.
2: BERLIN FLAGSHIP STORE
Just celebrated its first anniversary, our flagship store in Berlin is a must-visit for fashion enthusiasts. It showcases our entire collection, allowing you to touch and feel the quality that defines Merz b. Schwanen. It's a space where history meets present, and where you can immerse yourself in the brand's story.
3: MAUERPARK FLEA MARKET
For a trip down memory lane and a glimpse into the brand's history, head to Mauerpark. This vibrant flea market is where it all began, and where Gitta and Peter found a remarkable discovery – an authentic worker's shirt from 1911. This fateful find led them on a quest to uncover its origin and ultimately led to the revival of the brand. Walking through Mauerpark is like stepping back in time and experiencing the origins of Merz b. Schwanen.
4: SOFI BAKERY
Everyone needs a place to unwind and enjoy the simple pleasures of life. SOFI, one of Gitta and Peter's favorite bakeries, is just that place. Located in Berlin Mitte, SOFI offers an array of delectable pastries and freshly baked bread. It's the perfect spot to recharge during your Berlin adventure.
Berlin is not only a dynamic and diverse city but also a significant part of Merz b. Schwanen's story. Our connection to our heritage and the vibrant culture of the city shines through. From the creative hub at our headquarters to the historic beginnings at Mauerpark, Berlin offers a tapestry of experiences for those seeking both history and style.
