LÜBECK IS A FAIRTRADE CITY

Lübeck has been permitted to call itself a “fair trade city” since 2011. Numerous cafés and restaurants, hotels and around 90 retailers are already participating and offering fair trade products. Here you can find fair trade fashion, wine, fruit juice, coffee, tea or chocolate. The title was awarded by the Transfair Association which also gives its seal of approval to fairly traded products.
