Kolpings Kaufrausch 2026

"Kolping's shopping spree" enters the next round on Sunday (March 15) from 10 am to 1 pm in the Haselandhalle on Uhlandstraße. The Kolping Family of Hollage will once again be hosting a bazaar by women for women, offering clothing, accessories, shoes and much more.

"In addition to clothing, bags, books and board games can also be bought and sold," explain Janina Bode and Martina Unland from the organization team. "We will also be setting up the special themed areas for evening wear and sportswear as well as a Tupperware corner - including fitting rooms." Anyone wishing to sell items is welcome to start sorting through the clothes and kitchen cupboards. As usual, all visitors will be offered breakfast with sparkling wine, coffee, sandwiches and cake, Bode and Unland describe the culinary supporting program for the shopping experience. "We focus on a feel-good atmosphere. The shopping spree should be fun."

However, "Kolping's Shopping Frenzy" is not just about the fun of shopping. That's why 20 percent of the proceeds are donated to a good cause - in this case the youth work of the Kolping Family Hollage. "We have used the proceeds so far to buy new costumes and shoes for the Kolping dance groups, for example," reports Unland. "We were also able to support the altar servers in purchasing new tents with a large donation."

Women who are interested in selling clothes and other items at the bazaar can apply for a vendor number by emailing kaufrausch@kolping-hollage.de on Friday (February 6) from 7 to 8 pm. The numbers will be raffled off among all applicants.

At a bazaar, clothes, shoes and toys are collected centrally and sold at fixed prices. As a customer, you can get through quickly because clothes and toys are sorted by size and/or type. In addition, there is no trading, the prices on the clothes apply. As a seller, you don't need your own stand and don't even have to be there yourself.
