A keepsake can be more than the magnet from the airport. At EAT Berlin, in the fourth courtyard of the Hackesche Höfe in Mitte, the shelves hold sauces, salts and teas from small Berlin producers, a piece of the city to take home and eat. In Prenzlauer Berg, Supalife Kiosk on Raumerstraße has been printing signed screen prints in small editions for more than twenty years, among them a whole series of Berlin motifs. And in the Reuterkiez in Neukölln, Bohei Shop carries postcards and prints by Berlin labels, starting at 1.50 euros. Which souvenir would you take home?

For a long time souvenirs were a red flag for me, until I started looking more closely. At s.wert design on Brunnenstrasse I bought the first Berlin motif I really wanted to hang up, and at EAT Berlin in the Hackesche Hofe I discovered the edible version. This list gathers keepsakes you do not have to be embarrassed about.
Directly opposite the Hotel Adlon and just a few steps from the Brandenburg Gate, Curry Wolf sells the original Berlin Currywurst, which the family business has made in the city according to its own recipe. As a Berlin souvenir, it travels in a swing-top jar along with the in-house ketchup. The spicy 'Opium' sauce is also available.
The KaDeWe is the largest department store in continental Europe!
The first ever Ampelmann Shop is located in the fifth courtyard of the Hackesche Höfe, opened in 2001 for the fortieth birthday of the East German traffic light man. The brand started with lamps made from discarded traffic light glass; today, the assortment ranges from gummy bears to traffic light lamps. For Berlin souvenirs with a backstory, this is the address with the longest lineage.
Since 2004, Supalife Kiosk on Raumerstraße has showcased Berlin's screen printing and illustration scene, supported since 2013 by an artist collective as a non-profit association. On 67 square meters, signed and numbered prints in small editions are displayed. Here, an original, not a reprint, goes home with you as a Berlin souvenir.
In the fourth courtyard of the Hackesche Höfe, Eat Berlin exclusively offers food and drinks from Berlin manufacturers. Owner Adam Mikusch produces the Berlin mustard sauce, curry sauce, and dressings himself, complemented by sea salt, spices, and fruit tea from the city. Here, something finds its way into your suitcase as a Berlin souvenir, to be enjoyed at home.
On Brunnenstraße at Rosenthaler Platz, s.wert has been translating Berlin architecture into graphics since 2002: prefabricated buildings, the TV Tower, and the World Clock appear on posters, tea towels, and socks. Designs are created in their own studio in Mitte, produced in small editions in Germany. The Berlin Souvenirs category includes around one hundred items.
On Weserstraße in the Reuterkiez, Bohei Shop has been offering stationery, jewelry, and home accessories for about ten years, much of it from Berlin labels like Berlin in Sicht, Berliner Töchter, and Reflective Berlin. Owner Jan Oster designs some of the cards and prints himself. A postcard with the TV Tower is enough for a Berlin souvenir here.
The Hertha BSC fan shop on Hanns-Braun-Straße is part of the club's office in Olympiapark, a ten-minute walk from the Olympiastadion and directly next to the training pitches. In addition to jerseys from kit supplier Castore, there is a special collection dedicated to Berlin's neighborhoods and districts. For a Berlin souvenir, a scarf, magnet, or tin sign are perfect.
In Kollwitzkiez, Die kleine Gesellschaft offers toys, books, and craft sets, along with its own house collection featuring Berlin motifs. The rattle in the shape of the TV Tower and the toy Trabi are its most famous pieces. As a Berlin souvenir for children, this is the alternative to the plastic bear from Alexanderplatz.
You can get spring rolls not only at your favourite Chinese restaurant. The powdery-lively scarves of montagehalle berlin in Wedding are hand-made little originals and an extravagant Berlin souvenir suitable not only for cold days.
