Board Game Store on Körtestraße at Südstern

Körtestraße is located in southern Kreuzberg, a bit off the noisy main roads, between Südstern and Urbanhafen. Here you’ll find old buildings with front gardens, and among them, at house number 27, is the game store spielbrett. Getting there is easy: The Südstern U-Bahn station is just a few minutes away, and bus M41 stops directly in front of the door at the Körtestraße stop. The business is operated by Andreas Kaluza and Christian Seipelt as a general partnership, registered in the commercial register at the Charlottenburg district court. The business includes a second location in Wilmersdorf on Berliner Straße, which stays open a little longer and is convenient for anyone traveling in the west of the city. However, those living in Kreuzberg will find the Körtestraße location offers a shorter journey and a quieter environment. All around are Chamissoplatz with its market and the greenery along the Landwehrkanal, so shopping can be easily combined with a stroll. For families from Graefekiez and Südstern, the store is therefore the obvious choice.

Gifts for Children from One of the City’s Largest Board Game Selections

What distinguishes spielbrett from the toy departments of large stores is its focus: here, it’s almost exclusively about games played on the table. The store itself describes its assortment as a huge selection of board games suitable for children as well as adults, plus playing cards and dedicated children’s games. This mix makes a visit interesting for families, as games for a six-year-old and those for an entire evening can be found on the same shelf. Gifts for children can be selected here by age and by game duration, from a quick round of a Memory variant to a first cooperative adventure where everyone wins or loses together. If you’re unsure, describe on-site how old the child is and what they usually like to play, and you’ll receive suggestions from the shelf. The advantage over ordering online lies precisely in this: a board game rarely reveals on the box whether it’s suitable for your own family. The store can be reached by phone at both addresses, with a separate number for the Kreuzberg location.
