The Mountain of Books

The popular Arrenberg Book Market (founded as “Buch. Bäm. Buch”) continues: Several times a year, “Aufbruch” transforms into a book flea market featuring rare and entertaining finds—a treasure trove of romance novels, mystery novels, and children’s books; for biographies and fiction; for nonfiction and cookbooks; for illustrated books and hiking maps; and for everything from regional to world literature.

Everyone needs books to embark on a journey, discover the world, and keep their mind active. Books remain what they’ve always been: inspiring, entertaining, comforting, or gripping—the most valuable luggage on our journey through the day, the night, and into life itself. Some we’d like to keep forever, but new ones need their place too—and many books should be read more than once.

For one day, the neighborhood office will transform into your very own bookstore! Here, the tables are laden with exciting books—old or nearly new—at the most reasonable prices. The proceeds will benefit the “Der wissende Arrenberg” project, which explores and showcases the history of our neighborhood and its people.
