Werken-Spielen-Schenken: Berlin’s Craft Store with Tradition

Since 1968, this owner-managed store in Berlin-Steglitz has stood for what many craft and DIY stores promise but rarely deliver: true depth in their product range. Toys, dollhouses, model building, model trains, haberdashery, and artist supplies are part of the offering, looking back on over 50 years of family tradition. Over 200,000 products await across approximately 2,500 square meters of retail space. This is no ordinary craft store, but a complete hub for anyone who wants to work creatively.

The trained toolmaker Manfred Herpolsheimer founded the business in 1968 because he wanted to pursue his personal need for creative work more intensively. Together with his sons, he further expanded the business until it eventually encompassed its own department for every creative direction across more than 2,500 square meters. So, those who search specifically will truly find what they need here.

Crafting, Sewing, Model Building: Five Departments, No End in Sight

Customers can choose between five specialized departments: Toys, Model Building, Trains, Crafts, and Artist Supplies. Those looking for craft materials will find both basic equipment and special accessories here. The specialized staff is constantly on the lookout for new trends and focuses on quality. This is immediately noticeable in the store.

Particularly attractive for all DIY enthusiasts is the regular course offering. At Werken-Spielen-Schenken, not only can the basics of crocheting, knitting, and sewing be learned, but also special topics such as Christmas motifs on laser prints or decoupage on chipboard boxes. Because it’s not just children who get their money’s worth here: the offer is aimed at all age groups. In addition, the store offers a practical delivery service for particularly bulky or heavy items. In short: Werken-Spielen-Schenken is the place in Berlin when it comes to crafting and DIY.
