Shopping in Hameln

Hameln is the shopping centre of the Weserbergland region, attracting people from far outside the town boundaries.

The market region of the town of Hameln includes about 180,000 inhabitants with a purchasing power of about 890 mio. EUR per year.

There is a retailers network in Hameln of some 557 shops (half of them situated in the old part of town) with a sales space of 176,000 m² and a total turnover of some 450 mio. EUR.

The beautifully restored old town centre with its historical buildings and its medieval charm is an attractive shopping area with a large variety of goods offered in a special ambience.

Hameln also offers attractive shopping possibilities outside of the old part of town. The concentration of retail units at the "green meadow" in Klein Berkel (areas multi-market and Böcklerstraße) together amount to more shopping space than the whole of the old part of town.


In central Hameln - close to the railway station - a shopping mall in an industrial monument of the "Nord-West-Deutsche Hefe- und Spritwerke AG" company, was opened in the year 2000.
