Shop popping up on Schlossberg in August and September: schedule announced
The Freiburg pop-up store at Schlossberg, which has been operational since mid-March 2025, is set to extend its operation through August and September this year. This extension comes with the introduction of the "Bierle-Bar," a collaboration between the local brewery Ganter and the innovation agency machn:.
The "Bierle-Bar" will take over Schwabentor for the next two months, offering visitors a unique experience. The bar will showcase the regional organic beer, "Freiburger Bierle," which was awarded the Freiburg Innovation Prize 2025 on July 14 for its joint project with machn:.
The pop-up store initially was scheduled to run until the end of July 2025, offering local actors and initiatives space to present their ideas and products. However, the project's success led to its extension, bringing commerce, culture, and gastronomy to Freiburg's city center.
The Freiburg Wirtschaft Touristik und Messe (FWTM) organizes the pop-up store project, building on the success of previous pop-up concepts. They collaborate with local stakeholders to continuously develop the format of the pop-up store in Freiburg.
The aperitivo bar in the pop-up store is a place to linger, discover, and enjoy. It offers surprising ideas, diverse events, and inspiring exhibitions for all ages. The bar is part of a broader initiative to revitalize inner-city vacancies and strengthen local urban life.
The project receives funding and support from the federal Zukunftsfähige Innenstädte und Zentren (ZIZ) program, which aims to foster sustainable and vibrant urban centers. The extension of the pop-up store and the opening of the "Bierle-Bar" are expected to take place in August and September.
