Boutiques dans et autour de Bolzano/Bozen

Welcome at Tschager's shop

South Tyrolean arts and crafts shop in the middle of the old town. The Tschager family is best known for production of sacred and profane statues.

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.

What to do when your employer makes you redundant? You take
the first step (ironic, considering he worked in a shoe factory
before) towards the right decision: in Gino Gatti’s case that meant
making his passion for photography into his daily breadwinner.
All this happened in 1960 – but this wasn’t Gino’s first rodeo. He’d
nurtured his passion for taking snapshots for years and he’d already
turned it into a money-making activity. To round off his family’s
income, he used to photograph events during his spare time. The
jump from side hustle to main business was immediate, and he
soon opened his own shop. His son Stefano was also a passionate
photographer, and so learnt the tricks and tips of being behind the
shutter as a child. Both father and son would take pictures during
their work breaks, when hiking in the mountains, and when out
and about surrounded by nature. When all the other kids soaked up
the sunshine during the summer holidays, Stefano could be found
working in the shop and spending time in the darkroom. His regular
apprenticeship started at the age of 16 and, in 1996, he took over the
business when Gino retired.

History
The origins of this family of cobblers dates back to the 19th century
in Chiusa, where they’d opened their first shoemaker’s workshop,
Fill, in 1871. In the 20th century, one of the family’s son remained in
Chiusa, while the other moved to Bolzano to Piazza Gries where today
you can find Café Menz (see p. 147). The current owner’s grandfather
– Karl Fill – built the building of today’s Fill premises in 1961,
boasting space for a shop, show workshop, and an apartment. Since
2022, the third Bolzano generation has been running the business,
led by siblings Patrizia and Horst, while Werner (Karl Fill’s nephew)
and Waltraud, the second generation, still help out.
Stand-out traits
We know how important it is to wear comfortable shoes. Here
is where you can go the extra mile: the store sells special socks,
insoles, shoelaces and shoeshine as well as comfortable shoes for
women, men and children – and even babies! It boasts a vast range
of regular shoes, slippers, and mountain boots all united by the fact
they’re extremely comfortable to wear. Horst Steinhauser is the current
owner and completed his training as an orthopaedic specialist
and shoemaker in Austria. He then worked in Innsbruck and Munich before opening his workshop in the Gries neighbourhood 20 years
ago where he’s been “solving problems with his feet” ever since.

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.

Since 1939 in the world of wines - Weins, distillates and gastronomic specialities.

Located in the heart of Bolzano, historical brand of menswear. Since 1995, the elegance of the garments, the quality of the fabric, eye to manifacture and detail, made Kiro’s a well appreciated point of reference for those who want to dress smart. Among the top products, shirts in custom fit and regular fit versions with sizes ranging from 38 to 46. Kiro’s shops are to be found in via die Portici 73 and in via Museo 38.

Back in the day, butchers would throw out whatever parts they
couldn’t use or sell into courtyards – but as the adage goes, somebody’s
trash is another’s treasure, and so chandlers would gleefully
collect those valuable ingredients to make their candles and soaps.
It made sense then for Josef Anton Thaler to open a soap workshop
in 1763 in the very same place where Thaler’s modern premises lie.
He was so successful he later went on to become a supplier of medical
goods to the court and a colonial warehouse and shop for the
local populations: local farmers would come into town to purchase
spices from the Middle East, among other items on display. In 1946,
the Schwienbacher family purchased the store. Hans Schwienbacher
was a far-sighted man who succeeded in creating a booming
business, set up a wholesale operation and then handed control
and oversight to his daughters Heidi and Veronika. The siblings are
still very much involved in running the company. At the turn of the
century, having a niche was seen as that extra special something –
in this case, exclusive perfumes, wellbeing and beauty routines, and
luxury design and furniture for the living areas. In 2012, the family
decided to expand their business and started dipping their toes in
the beverage and restaurant world.

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.

History
When it first opened at the end of the 1960s, the store was a third
of its current space. Gianni Guerra opened the opticians with wife
Vanda and their son Luca – the current owner – studied optometry
at university to then join the family business in 1995. Gianni also realised
his dream and received the master optician diploma 30 years
after his journeyman’s examination. Luca’s wife Arabella also joined
the company a few years later, just one of the many additions to the
ever-growing company.
Stand-out traits
Lucas and Arabella purchased an automatic phoropter at a trade fair
three years ago to provide high-precision results in vision measurement
and lens determination. The smart vision tester takes up one
of the rooms in the back of the store and has proved to be immensely
helpful when assessing the eyesight of children and the elderly.
On top of that, the store is the only authorised Cartier concessionaire
in South Tyrol. An important recognition as the luxury Parisian
brand selects its partners following strict criteria.

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.
