Regional approach

At the Goldener Hirsch (GH) you will only find products from Schleswig-Holstein and neighbouring federal states from within a radius of about 250 km. Only a few products come from further afield, all of them are certified fair trade products.

Our products are hand-crafted

GH prides itself on offering a product range mainly hand-crafted by small and very small businesses. These products are made to a professional craftsmanship standard, they are durable and offer high usability.

Sustainable processes

GH co-operates exclusively with manufacturers using uncontaminated raw materials – some of which are certified organic – preferably sourced regionally or from European countries. They go easy on resources, widely avoiding waste or producing no waste at all and they forgo any use of plastic.

Sales are also organised as sustainably as possible according to the ‘less waste’ principle, using used materials.

Fair co-operation

GH sales staff will be happy to put customers in contact with individual arts and crafts product manufacturers, thus facilitating bespoke product manufacturing and best possible advice. Photographs on the shelves provide information on the manufacturer, what the product is made of as well as the sources of raw materials used. The sales approach at GH is based on advising our customers instead of pushing for a sale at any cost.

Long-term co-operation

The Goldener Hirsch forms a network of long-term relationships between manufacturers and other suppliers as well as customers. Interacting openly is not only fair; it is prerequisite for any long-term co-operation on an equal footing.
