Leonberg in transition: Where can you still find second-hand treasures?
The Diakonie shop in Leonberg, which was an important contact point for people with low incomes for over 17 years, closed its doors at the end of April 2025. At this facility, those in need could both receive and donate clothing, furniture and household goods. The store's closure has given rise to questions about where to go for second-hand goods in the area. According to the Stuttgart News However, there are still numerous options for donating used clothing, toys and furniture or buying them cheaply.
The current situation is another indication of the importance of second-hand purchases and donations. On average, every German buys 60 items of clothing every year, around one in five of which are never worn. This has far-reaching impacts on the environment, contributing to the fact that the textile industry accounts for around 10% of global CO2 emissions.

As the Clothing Foundation explains, clothing donations come in various ways, be it through packages, containers or collection campaigns. The donated items are inspected and sorted, with each piece classified by season, gender, size and quality. This careful approach guarantees that those in need are not only offered protection from the cold, but are also enabled to participate in society.
It is very important to the sorters that the donated textiles arrive clean and washed. Positive feedback from donation recipients proves that the quality of donations benefits people and helps avoid stigmatization and exclusion.
