Info evening | Become part in our For-free-shop

We are a small group of people who have opened a for-free shop in Düsseldorf and would like to make it available to everyone. We work on a voluntary, unpaid basis and strive for a respectful treatment of people, animals and resources according to the principle of the Umsonstökonomie.

What do we want?

Our concept is that of the "for free economy", i.e. in our shop we don't "pay" with money and we don't "exchange", but everyone can bring and take what they like freely, without constraint and on their own responsibility. It is a free give and take without exchange or counter value and without money. Monetary donations are accepted and used for materials, maintenance, store furnishings, and to support No Man's Land, who provide us with the space.

The U-Laden is meant to be a place for everyone and not primarily charitable, but also ecological, social, holistic and critical of consumption.

We maintain the store (and our guests), i.e. we tidy up, sort and rearrange, show guests where things are. We accept the donations and put them away. We can chat on the sofa and offer coffee for a voluntary donation. We are happy to give out all kinds of information if the visitor needs it.

We are open every Friday from 4 - 7 pm and every Saturday from 2 - 5 pm and it would be nice if you could take on a shift once a month.
