What do a soccer player, an 8-year-old businesswoman and two best friends have in common? At first glance, not much. But they all share independent spirit, a love for their craft \u2013 and their own online store<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These stories are just as unique and diverse as the passionate faces behind them. In this post we will introduce you to 10 different online stores<\/a> in Germany\u2013and the stories behind them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spectrum<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After dipping her toes into the conventional fashion industry, it was clear to Birgit: This isn\u2019t how she wanted to work. Shocked by the industry\u2019s wasteful practices, the German designer founded SPECTRUM<\/a>. The fashion label doesn\u2019t just use sustainability as a marketing strategy. Birgit only uses fabric remnants sourced from European distributors that otherwise would have ended up in the waste bin. She sells locally in the cities of Hamburg and Eckenf\u00f6rde, as well as online. The idea for an online store came about because she wanted to offer customers who aren\u2019t able to shop in person the opportunity to try out her fashion. The photos in her online store<\/a> don\u2019t show models, but Birgit\u2019s regular customers. \u201cI love to see my designs on customers, to me that\u2019s the most beautiful part of it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Womenletics<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Growing up the daughter of a passionate soccer player and coach, Jennifer was an avid soccer player herself for many years. Then her daughter arrived and it quickly became clear that it\u2019s difficult to be a single parent and still have time for sports. Most of the opportunities available to her weren\u2019t flexible enough. That\u2019s exactly what gave Jennifer the motivation to launch her passion project: fitness courses<\/a> for women and mothers. Jennifer knows how important it is not to lose sight of yourself and feel comfortable in your own body. Through her online store<\/a>, she offers individual fitness courses: live or virtual, intense or relaxed, weekly or monthly\u2013everything can be adapted to your own life needs.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pottschwarz<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Oliver worked for many years at a big company. Then he decided he\u2019d had enough of the office bureaucracy and meetings. In 2016, the coffee lover, together with his wife and three children, decided to become a small business owner and launched the Pottschwarz<\/a> roastery in the German city of M\u00fclheim an der Ruhr. The Pottschwarz name is a reference to the Ruhr region where they live (known as the \u201cRuhrpott\u201d in German). From the plant to the cup, Pottschwarz is there for the entire process. They put a special emphasis on fair trade, their own roasting process, and the sustainable packaging that contains their beans. Pottschwarz sells both in person and online. If you order locally, Oliver and his wife will deliver the same day. For Oliver, it\u2019s \u201cthe best of two worlds.\u201d The online store supports the bulk of his business, but he still maintains personal contact with his customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blumenwerkstatt am Josephsplatz<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Initially, Hang Vu only wanted to earn a little money on the side during her business studies. But she enjoyed her job at a flower shop so much that she decided to put school on hold and learn to be a florist. She\u2019s now been running her floral shop, Blumenwerkstatt am Josephsplatz, for 13 years. Her flowers have been a part of entire family stories: From first date bouquets to wedding arrangements to baptismal decorations. Last year she began selling her floral arrangements in her online store<\/a>, delivering for free on her bike throughout the city of Munich.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fenya\u2019s World<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Eight-year-old Fenya was drying her hair when the idea came to her: a family story game would be fun! Without burdensome rules, without winners or losers\u2013but rather beautiful conversations between family members. Now that idea has become reality with Fenya\u2019s World (\u201cFenya\u2019s Welt\u201d in German). Fenya\u2019s mother Simone runs the business operation, while Fenya handles the design and development process. Simone and Fenya initially self-published the game, titled \u201cHow was your day\u201d (\u201cWie war dein Tag\u201d) and mainly sold it to friends via their online store<\/a>. But the story behind the game eventually attracted worldwide media attention, and the two sold over 1,000 copies of the game in just a short period of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ginger&Du<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Two best friends lived next door to each other and shared a common passion that led them to start their own business. The origins of Ginger&Du<\/a> (\u201cGinger and you\u201d) sound like something out of a storybook. Julia and Katharina like liqueurs and experimenting. For fun, they created a ginger liqueur. Their crazy concoction was so well received that in 2016 the two decided to get serious about it. Ginger&Du has since turned into a full-time company. They run their own bar in the city of Magdeburg and have an online store where you can buy all their lovingly prepared and extraordinary creations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wood.You.Love<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Claas first started felling and processing trees with his father when he was a kid. After training as an event manager and studying marketing communications he knew that field wasn\u2019t for him. So he decided to change career tracks. Since 2016 he has been working as a master carpenter and blacksmith creating handmade solid wood tables. With more and more orders coming in, Claas assembled a team and created an online store<\/a>. His unique wood pieces are now available not just in Germany, but also Croatia, France, Switzerland, and Denmark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

HofKitchen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As a passionate chef, Lorenz has put plenty of smiles on his guests\u2019 faces with his food. But working back in the kitchen, he rarely got to see those smiles himself. Lorenz wanted to change that. That\u2019s why he started his own business, HofKitchen<\/a>, in 2017\u2013an event location for cooking classes. The kitchen is located in a converted horse stable in the farmlands outside Munich. Seasonal, organic food and small groups are the ingredients for Lorenz\u2019s passion project. He offers a diverse range of classes through his online store<\/a>. You can learn everything from Taco Thursday to Japanese fusion, either online or in person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

G\u00fcttinger Ceramic<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Karl has been sitting at the pottery wheel for decades, pouring his heart and soul into his craft. His traditional family business, G\u00fcttinger Keramik<\/a> (\u201cG\u00fcttinger Ceramic\u201d) sells unique ceramic pieces out of their small workshop in the town of Isny im Allg\u00e4u. Since 1939, the family\u2019s mission has been \u201cbringing old artisanry back to life\u201d. Their handiwork had only been available at local markets, but since the coronavirus pandemic, the family has also sold them in their online store. It\u2019s proof that a nearly century\u2013old traditional family business and a modern online store can compliment each other wonderfully! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aaron Moser<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After he finished high school, Aaron and his father hiked 1,500 kilometers from Munich to Florence. It was a journey that would shape him forever. Along the way, he developed a passion for nature photography<\/a>. His search for the perfect picture has already taken him to Europe\u2019s largest glacier in Iceland, through the deepest jungle in northern Thailand and across the volcanic highlands of East Africa with the nomadic Maasai people. Aaron especially enjoys sharing his experience and knowledge with others. That\u2019s why he created his online store<\/a>, where he offers workshops for photography and film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
