Weekly market at the Fährplatz
Year-round on Mondays and Thursdays from 7:30 am to 1 pm – fresh regional produce right by the ferry landing. The most reliable “shopping” with a sea view.
Vorderreihe by the harbour · owner-run · no malls
Shopping in Travemünde
Shopping in Travemünde means above all the Vorderreihe – the promenade street right by the harbour, lined with small, owner-run shops: maritime fashion, handmade jewellery, an independent bookshop and delicatessen. The big malls and outlets are in Lübeck and around; this page deliberately lists only the fine addresses in town – curated, with source and verification date.
The fine addresses
- Bookshop
BuchANKER
The owner-run bookshop right at the harbour end of the Vorderreihe – books, maps and maritime reads, with personal advice rather than a chain.

buchanker.de ↗ - Fashion (owner-run)
DRESS UP (Matzen)
The Matzen family’s owner-run fashion house (over 80 years) with two stores on the Vorderreihe – exclusive brands for women and men, not a discount chain.

matzen-mo.de ↗ - Maritime fashion and home accessories
Seaside No. 64
Family-run shop (since 2019) for maritime fashion, home accessories, lanterns and gifts – the coastal feeling to take home.

seaside64.de ↗ - Handmade jewellery
MareSchmuck
Handmade jewellery in a historic half-timbered house, a few steps behind the Vorderreihe near the old fishermen’s church – a small workshop address of its own.
Address: Kurgartenstraße 17, 23570 Travemünde
travemuende-tourismus.de ↗ - Market hall: delicatessen and gifts
BeachBay (Priwall)
The market hall on the Priwall gathers delicatessen, regional souvenirs and dining under one roof – a worthwhile trip across with the Priwall ferry.
Address: Auf dem Priwall, Travemünde

Markets and regional produce
Lübeck marzipan
The regional speciality par excellence: the original comes from neighbouring Lübeck (Niederegger); in Travemünde delicatessens and souvenir shops carry it. We deliberately do not name an unverified Travemünde “marzipan address”.
Fish from the cutter
At the fishing harbour on the Baggersand the fishermen sell the fresh catch – if at all, in the morning and without fixed hours. More on the harbour page.
Good to know
- The Vorderreihe is the shopping and strolling street right by the harbour; a few steps behind lies the quieter Kurgartenstraße with more small shops.
- As a seaside resort, many shops also open on Sundays in season – exact hours vary by shop, so check ahead if in doubt.
- The large malls and outlets (LUV Shopping, CITTI-PARK, Designer Outlet) are in Lübeck and Neumünster – not in Travemünde. This page deliberately focuses on the owner-run addresses in town.
