Faire Welt e.V. Bruckmühl

About us

The idea of our selling fair trade goods originated in the Vagener Children of God Working Circle in 1990. After being at various other locations, in March 2007 the team opened their Third World shop at its present address, Bahnhofstr. 10 in Bruckmühl, Thanks to the advantageous location and the work of many volunteers, business boomed and the shop was able to become independent on 9th November 2011. 21 women volunteer workers and representatives of the Sacred Heart parish as well as long-standing customers founded the „Fair World“ association in November 2011.
