There are shop windows that you glance at and then there are those that make you stop in your tracks. Claus Kröger in Altona belongs to the second category. Every season, its window displays turn into miniature works of art, a carefully curated invitation to step inside and explore. And once you do, it’s hard to leave.
For nearly a century, this charming store on Große Bergstraße has been a paradise for connoisseurs. Freshly roasted coffee and espresso, an overwhelming selection of over 300 teas, the finest chocolates, pralines, candied fruits, and handpicked wines. Many of them are sourced directly from Hamburg. Every shelf holds something special, whether it’s a rare delicacy or a beautifully crafted piece for the home.
Run by the Kröger family for four generations, Claus Kröger is more than a shop; it’s an institution, a Wundertüte of taste and tradition. The team knows their products inside out and always has the perfect gift suggestion, whether it's a small indulgence for yourself, a thoughtful present for a friend, a treat for yourself or a bottle of wine for a special occasion.
