Freiburg's new Fund Factory opens its doors

On Saturday, August 8, 2026, a new chapter for reuse, circular economy, and sustainable shopping begins in Freiburg: the Fund Factory of ASF. The second-hand department store at Liebigstraße 16 combines second-hand shopping with repair, upcycling, and environmental education, creating a shopping experience with real added value for the city.

A place for finds with history

Visitors can expect a large selection of well-preserved second-hand furniture, household goods, clothing, books, bicycles, and electronics across three floors. The goods mainly come from donations made by the citizens of Freiburg and are checked, cleaned, and refurbished before being put up for sale. As one moves through the rooms, they experience a market atmosphere like never before: organized, resource-conserving, with a clear focus on quality and reuse.

Sustainability meets craftsmanship and repair

The Fund Factory is more than a department store. In addition to sales, a repair café, workshop offerings, upcycling formats, and educational programs around waste reduction and circular economy are being created. The aim is to place appreciation for things at the center - from small everyday items to special unique pieces. For visitors, a space emerges where craftsmanship, practical help, and sustainable consumption come together closely.

Strong local anchoring in Freiburg

With the Fund Factory, ASF sets a visible sign for reuse in the region. The location directly next to the St. Gabriel recycling yard ties into Freiburg's waste reduction strategy and makes the path from the donation area to resale comprehensible. The city of Freiburg also highlights the project's significance for resource conservation and sustainable urban development.

How to succeed in your visit

The Fund Factory is located at Liebigstraße 16 in Freiburg im Breisgau. The opening starts on August 8, 2026, at 10:00 AM.

Those who wish to shop sustainably while discovering inspiring finds will find a new place with character here.

Conclusion

Amidst second-hand treasures, repair ideas, and true reuse, a place for browsing, discovering, and participating is created.
