I love dressing up, and I love the moment when a costume turns into a whole role. In these shops, I browse through collections full of possibilities and let the selection carry me away. Whether twenties glamour or Halloween horror, I find everything here. I am passing on my favorite addresses for dressing up.


Theaterkunst GmbH, located on Eisenzahnstraße, has been Germany's largest costume house since 1907, supplying film, television, and stage from a unique collection of this size.



Located at Südstern in Kreuzberg, a collection of over 5,000 pieces offers everything from Baroque to disco glam, serving professional film and theater productions as well as individuals seeking the perfect look.






Deiters in the Rathauspassagen at Alexanderplatz is Berlin's most famous costume shop, boasting an impressive 2,000 square meters filled with costumes, party supplies, and accessories for every occasion. This traditional Cologne-based company, with over 100 years of history, now also makes its mark in the capital.

The independent costume workshop Narciss&Goldfaden in Prenzlauer Berg combines artisanal precision with an artistic eye, working for theatre, stage shows, and film from pattern creation to premiere.

COMME des COSTUMES in Tempelhof is a costume rental, fashion archive, and professional costume house all in one, operated by a costume designer who also works in cinema.




For almost two decades, ClothingLand in Neukölln has been offering over 5,000 costumes, masks, and accessories, ready for immediate purchase. From Darth Vader to Dracula, from superheroes to classic costumes, no role remains unfilled here.

Located on Wühlischstraße in Friedrichshain, Le Boudoir by Bohème Sauvage is Berlin's most sophisticated costume rental for the Golden Age of the Weimar Republic. Charleston dresses, feather boas, pearl necklaces, and Art Deco accessories await all who want to not only celebrate but also wear the nightlife of the Roaring Twenties.

Berlin's most famous costume shop has a new address: Deko Behrendt, for decades a Berlin institution for costumes, party decorations, and carnival items, has moved from Schöneberg to The Playce shopping center at Potsdamer Platz and presents a freshly curated assortment there.

Deep in the southeast of Berlin, on the Adlershof Media Campus, film history is stored across more than 4,000 square meters. For decades, Adlershofer Fundus has been the go-to address for commercial productions seeking historically accurate costumes and props, from GDR television heritage to international series productions.


In Gotenstraße in Schöneberg, a classic costume rental awaits, offering far more than just carnival items: Schnick Dee provides high-quality costumes from the Baroque, Middle Ages, Roaring Twenties, and 80s, and even has its own photo studio.
