If you need any material or prop for your next project and are short on money the Hanseatische Materialverwaltung (hanseatic administration of materials) is the place to go. The old warehouse is stuffed from top to bottom with any props, objects and oddities you can think about. The staff is super friendly and will help you navigate and find things in the big hall. But the most likable aspect is the concept behind it. They act on a very social and ecological agenda. All their inventory is rescued from the dump or donated before movie or theatre productions throw it away. They maintain low prices so especially schools, artists, students or social institutions can realize their ideas and projects.
