Shopping

Below you will find inexpensive and free ways to get food, clothing, tableware and furnishings. In some of the shops, you need a confirmation from the Office for Migration and Integration that you are receiving benefits under the Asylum Seekers' Benefits Act, combined unemployment and welfare benefits (ALG II) or the like. With this confirmation, some shops will also give you a customer card, which you must present with every purchase.
