Share instead of throw away: The Give-and-Take Cabinet in Erlangen-Büchenbach
In the community center Die Scheune in Erlangen-Büchenbach, the Give-and-Take Cabinet represents lived neighborliness, sustainability, and a straightforward shopping experience without a cash register. Here, books, leisure and decorative items, household goods, and toys get a second chance. According to the city of Erlangen, the service is free and non-profit; Die Scheune is part of the office for community work and is located at Odenwaldallee 2.

Regionally thought, practically used
The Give-and-Take Cabinet thrives on the principle of direct transfer: What is clean, usable, and too good to throw away finds new hands. This is exactly where the special market atmosphere of this format lies: not a classic weekly market with stalls, but an open exchange and giving place that makes regional everyday culture visible and conserves resources. The office for community work describes Die Scheune as a socio-cultural meeting point for encounters, exchanges, and events. ([erlangen.de](https://erlangen.de/amt/168060?utm_source=openai))
What visitors can expect
Visitors encounter a small but lively system of giving and taking. The focus is on well-preserved items for household, leisure, and children, emphasizing real reuse instead of new purchases. This makes the offer ideal for anyone who consumes consciously and seeks sustainable solutions in everyday life. The official event page names the cabinet as an integral part of the offering and refers to the municipal sponsorship.
