Shops in and around Bolzano/Bozen

Let’s start at the very beginning with some hard facts. Therese Gasser
was born in Millan, near Bressanone, but at the tender age of 23 took
over the small haberdashery shop in Bolzano from her aunt Zenz Öttl.
Therese worked in the shop most of her life, supported by two apprentices,
sisters Kreszenz and Anna Kaufmann. In 1921, as she didn’t
have children, Therese decided to give her store and, with it, her
surname, to the “Gasser Gals” – her employees. In 1972, Anna’s niece,
Gertraud Sauer, née Kaufmann, took over the business after having
spent part of her married life in Munich and having acquired considerable
experience selling leather clothes. The small shop has been
run by women for the equivalent of four generations and became
Gertraud’s pride and joy – so much so she only stopped going in every
day at the ripe old age of 90! In 2011, her son Wolfgang Sauer stepped
up to oversee the business’ administration while two women still
advise and help clients find what they need in keeping with tradition.

The fruit & vegetable shop is located in the centre of Soprabolzano/Oberbozen, directly on the street above the train station. There you will find products of Renon, fruits, vegetables, flowers and plants. 

Opening hours:

MO - FR: 7 am - 12 am and 3.30 pm - 7 pm;

SA 7 am - 12 am;

This family-run business has had once mission since it opened in 1974, and that is "preserving the bread-making tradition". If you walk past the window of the Franziskaner's PAN-ATELIER, which opened in 2020 in Via della Roggia / Rauschertorgasse 32, you can actually observe bakers making bread in the workshop. If the tempting scent of freshly baked bread whets your appetite, pop in to one of the 8 Franziskaner bakeries and choose from over 85 types of bread and pastries.

Started by our parents Flor and Barb, we carry on this ancient tradition in a valley that could not be more original, where farms are farmed, the costumes worn
and the customs lived on, with much joy and dedication.

Eduard Mall’s name is still in display in the shop. He was apprenticed
after the Second World War to one of the legendary goldsmiths
of the city, namely Ferdinand Schubert (originally from
Vienna), who left him the shop after an accident made it difficult
for him to continue. In 1958, Eduard set up shop by opening a small
workshop in Piazza Erbe, which created jewellery and watches. In
the mid-1960s, Eduard Mall moved to Via Goethe. In 1970, his son
Günther became an apprentice in the family-run business, and he
deepened his skills in other places during the summer – especially
in small goldsmith workshops in Florence, Gallarate, Valenza, Padova
and Pforzheim. He worked on designing, preparing, and altering
jewellery and jewels. Even the women of the family have always
worked in the business: first, Gunther’s mother and sister, then his
wife Renata, who joined the family business in 1988. The couple has
been running the business since 2001.

Cozy, well almost contemplative – that’s the best way to describe the ambience at the Ritten Christmas Market, the Christmas Train Market “Christbahnl”. The snow falls softly from the sky, Christmas carols gently jingle across the square and a fragrance of freshly baked goodies fills the winter air.

Eccel Decorona - from 1907 to today

In the year 1907, under the Bolzano arcade, the skilled textile merchant Marius Eccel senior opened his first shop together with his wife Maria Eccel Schaller.

His descendants were and still are born merchants. Each of Marius Eccel junior's sons set up his own business. Since 1954, the Eccel Decorona bed linen shop has had its headquarters in the Decorona porch house in Bolzano.

Walter Eccel ran it until 2003. Today, his son Andreas Eccel runs the company. In 2002, a sales outlet was also opened in Brunico.

Marius Eccel senior, the progenitor of a dynasty of traders, was originally from Borgo di Valsugana. At that time, at the turn of the century, merchants were also 'travelling salesmen'. They travelled by carriage out of the village, took orders and made deliveries to customers. The business grew; each grandson specialised in a different sector of the textile field. Eccel Decorona concentrated on sheets, bedclothes and towels.

ELECTRO-GAS MARKET SANFTL DER VIGL MARIANNE - INDIVIDUAL COMPANY OF BOLZANO

History
Tiozzo Severino was born in the province of Padova in 1923. He was
a paperhanger and the grandfather of today’s owner. The young
tradesman moved to Bolzano and in 1946 decided to set up his own
business in Via Genoa. The store specialised in producing wool mattresses.
A niche product if there ever was one. But back in the day
it sold exceptionally well, and was particularly well received by the
Italian immigrants living in the Semirurali worker neighbourhood,
which had been created after World War II. All things change and, in
1959, grandfather Severino moved to Via Torino and stopped selling
mattresses in favour of curtains and wallpapers. In 1985, his sons
Roberto and Silvano joined the family-run business, and his nephew
Mirco took over after his uncle retired in 2006.
Stand-out traits
The modern store boasts floor-to-ceiling windows which flood
the store with plenty of natural light. This setup also establishes a
direct connection with Bolzano’s industrial estate’s busy roads, as
the store is located opposite the historical Valbruna steelworks and
right next to the innovative NOI techpark. What all the business’
clients have in common is measures scribbled on sheets of paper or the blueprint of their apartment, the key ingredients when purchasing
duvets and kitchen linen, curtains, awnings, and solutions
to provide shade. All these are tailored or adapted to the client’s
specifications in the workshop on the first floor, while the workshop
in the cellar is where the upholstery magic takes place across a sea
of divans, armchairs, and chairs.

Complete equipment of high quality "Stuben", living rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, nursery, ...

The shop is in Auna di Sopra, a little village on the Renon in a high of 1300m.

The shop for fashion clouths for young and young reminded people.

If only walls could talk, this building alone would be worth a visit. It
was home for 170 years to a dynasty which traded in fabrics, founded
by the cloth merchant Anton Oberrauch, and is now a successful
Italian fashion and sporting goods empire. When renovating the
premises in the 1950s, the operation was seen as an opportunity
to rethink the business – which is what the head of the family did.
Heinrich Oberrauch (†2017) converted the fabric shop into a prêt-aporter
shop and merged it with the Zitt fashion store (which belonged
to his mother Julie Zitt in Merano). Et voila, the Oberrauch Zitt brand
was born. A brand which also encapsulated a guiding principle, i.e.
leveraging tradition and reinterpreting it. The flash of genius struck
Heinrich during his honeymoon in Scandinavia when he noticed how
Norwegian sweaters were flying off the shelf when marketed as souvenirs.
That was the beginning of the traditional costume and loden
fashion brand, Oberrauch Zitt, with Luis Trenker one of its most loyal
customers. Nowadays, when you think of “loden” you automatically
think of Oberrauch Zitt – a fabric that soon helped South Tyrol to
market itself as a tourism destination besides staple “products” such
as apples, wine and the Dolomites. Train stations are weird, wonderful
places – but surely the sight of lodens being delivered while trains
passed by Bolzano must have been a bit too much! But that’s just
how much Oberrauch Zitt’s loden were appreciated. One of Heinrich’s
sons – current owner Heiner Oberrauch – became the store’s manager in 1999 and founded the Lodenwelt in Vandoies, which also
included a museum, as well as the Oberalp/SALEWA group of sporting
goods together with his brother Georg (see globus on page 47),
the Sportler company and many, many more.

Peter’s father was one of the most important butchers in the city,
whereas his mother followed her own path and opened her own
tobacco store in 1955 – Peter was a 1-year-old baby – in Don Bosco, a
neighbourhood which mostly comprises Italian-speaking Bolzanini.
Idle hands weren’t something the family believed in, so Peter started
helping out at the shop during the school breaks and holidays. It
soon dawned on him, at the start of the 60s upon finishing school,
that he’d be taking over the business.
The shop is a true cave of wonders: every square inch seems to be
bursting with products, and the 60 m² stock whatever you may
need – and then some. Toys, stationery, cards for every occasion;
however, the pride and joy of the venue is its tobacco, especially pipes and all the relevant tools, and a wealth of different tobacco.
Oh, and don’t forget to try your luck and buy a scratch card or play
your lucky numbers at the lottery.
