Give-and-Take Cabinet in Erlangen: Giving Things a Second Chance

At the community center Die Scheune in Erlangen-Büchenbach, the Give-and-Take Cabinet represents lived sustainability and neighborly sharing. On Thursday, November 5, 2026, visitors can drop off, exchange, or take well-preserved items for free between 10:00 and 15:30.

Sustainable Market Atmosphere in the Scheune

The Give-and-Take Cabinet combines regional diversity with a conscious shopping experience: books, leisure and decoration items, household goods, and toys can easily change hands. New possibilities for everyday life emerge from used items - resource-saving, practical, and right in the neighborhood.

Browse, Give, and Reuse

The focus is on clean, undamaged, and still usable items. Those who donate create space and support reuse. Browsers might discover a suitable book, a useful household item, or a toy for the family. Thus, a vibrant exchange space without sales pressure is created.

The Scheune as a Meeting Point in Büchenbach

The community center Die Scheune is a socio-cultural institution of the city of Erlangen and a meeting place for people of different ages. The Give-and-Take Cabinet enhances the community offer with a sustainable form of sharing and strengthens the local neighborhood.

Conclusion

The Give-and-Take Cabinet invites everyone to experience sustainability in a very practical way. Come to the Scheune on November 5, bring well-preserved items, or discover things that can find a new use elsewhere.
