Sustainable browsing, exchanging, and giving away at the community center Die Scheune
The Give-and-Take Cabinet at the community center Die Scheune in Erlangen-Büchenbach invites you to a practical exchange and participation event on September 9, 2026. Here, books, leisure and decorative items, household goods, and toys get a second chance. Old items find new owners – uncomplicated, approachable, and very much in the spirit of a vibrant neighborhood. The event is free of charge.

A place for things with history
The offer represents lived sustainability in everyday life. What no longer fits at home doesn’t go directly into the trash but returns to the cycle. This is the unique character of this format: Visitors experience a small but very effective shopping experience with a regional focus, where sharing, passing on, and reusing are at the center. The city of Erlangen identifies Die Scheune as a socio-cultural community center under the Department of Community Work; the facility has been a fixed component of community culture in Büchenbach for years.

Practical, down-to-earth, and suitable for everyday use
The Give-and-Take Cabinet fits into the rhythm of a weekly market of good ideas: drop by, discover, take something suitable, or donate something well-kept yourself. According to the event description, the items should be clean, not broken, and still usable. This keeps the offer clear, valuable, and trustworthy. Regular opening hours are Monday to Thursday from 10:00 AM to 3:30 PM, Friday from 10:00 AM to 2:30 PM; closed on public holidays.
